Tottenham has slammed the “cowards” who racially abused French forward Mathys Tel after the team’s loss to Paris Saint-Germain in a penalty shootout in the UEFA Super Cup.

Both managers raised eyebrows with their starting XIs. PSG lined up in a very attacking 4-2-4, with key midfielder Fabian Ruiz on the bench, while Thomas Frank set up his Spurs side in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

The 2025 UEFA Super Cup is under way between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur in Udine, Italy. It is the winners of the Champions League against the Europa League victors with this season’s first piece of European silverware on the line.
