Tottenham lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup after a thrilling match that ended 2-2 in regulation. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored for Spurs, establishing a two-goal lead. However, PSG substitutes Lee Kang-In and Goncalo Ramos equalized late. The penalty shootout resulted in a 4-3 loss for Tottenham, with Van de Ven's penalty saved. Despite the outcome, Thomas Frank emphasized positives, noting their strong performance and tactical adaptability against a top-tier team, pointing to their expected goals tally favoring Spurs.
"I think we played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best at this moment in time," Frank told TNT Sports.
"We had them exactly where we wanted them for 80-something minutes until the 2-1 goal, then, of course, the momentum shifted a little bit."
"The team, the players, the club, the fans, there is a lot to be happy with. It is a flip of the coin when you go to a penalty shootout."
"We showed that we can be adaptable and pragmatic, and we needed to be against a team like PSG."
