In a night of late drama, PSG claimed their latest trophy, while transfer moves gather pace.
Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated their resilience by overturning a two-goal deficit to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling UEFA Super Cup encounter. Despite struggling early on, goals from Kang-in Lee and Gonçalo Ramos in the final minutes pushed the match to penalties, which PSG ultimately won. This victory follows their Champions League triumph, further solidifying their prominence on the European stage.
This result comes off the back of a strong recent run, including decisive victories against Inter Miami, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid during the FIFA Club World Cup. However, their journey wasn’t without hiccups, as witnessed in the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the same tournament.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to leave PSG, with Manchester City emerging as frontrunners for his signature. Manager Luis Enrique, who omitted the Italian from the Super Cup squad, has indicated a preference for a different goalkeeping style, paving the way for Lucas Chevalier's starting role against Spurs. Donnarumma's future appears closely tied to City's managerial plans, with potential suitors waiting in the wings.
Randal Kolo Muani's situation is nearing resolution as Juventus and PSG engage in positive talks. Despite the player's struggles in Paris, Juventus appears eager to make the move permanent, embracing Muani’s potential.
Meanwhile, Carlos Soler faces uncertainty after Villarreal ruled out a move due to financial constraints. Also, Marco Asensio’s exit looks likely, as he reaches a personal agreement with Aston Villa, indicating a swift departure.
The departure of Donnarumma signifies a tactical transition under Luis Enrique. Chevalier's performance, particularly in the penalty shootout, has injected fresh optimism. Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembélé's adaptability shone through as he assisted both crucial goals against Tottenham, showing the depth needed for the challenges ahead.
With Ligue 1 fixtures against Nantes and Angers looming, squad depth and readiness will be crucial, especially as PSG juggles both league and European commitments.
