PSG Form

PSG won the treble last season, with a 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final to end their long wait for that trophy. They went to the Club World Cup in high confidence and thumped Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their opening match.

After a surprise 1-0 loss to Botafogo, they beat Seattle Sounders 2-0 and cruised past Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16. A 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals preceded a 4-0 destruction of Real Madrid in the semis. PSG were surprisingly beaten 3-0 by Chelsea in the final as they were outplayed throughout.

PSG Team News

Coach Luis Enrique is without goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma after the goalkeeper made his wishes known to leave the club. Lucas Chevalier has been signed from Lille and will play in goal.

Centre back Ilya Zabarnyi has been signed from Bournemouth and could play some part. PSG have no major injury concerns.

PSG Motivation

PSG will be highly motivated to lift this trophy. They have never lifted this silverware before.

Luis Enrique’s side will attack Spurs and look to completely dominate the match.

Tottenham Form

Spurs have a nightmare 2024-25 league season, losing 22 of their 38 matches and finishing 17^th in the table. A 2-0 win at Bodo Glimt meant a 5-1 aggregate victory in the Europa League semis. Successive 2-0 league defeats followed, at home to Crystal Palace and away at Aston Villa.

Tottenham ended a 16-year trophy drought by beating Man Utd 1-0 in the Europa League final. Despite that, coach Ange Postecoglou was sacked. Spurs had a mixed preseason, culminating in losing 4-0 to Bayern Munich as they allowed 26 shots and seven big chances.

Tottenham Team News

Spurs have nine different injuries, whilst Son Heung-Min has left the club. Radu Dragusin and James Maddison are out long-term and this match comes too soon for Dejan Kulusevski.

Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma and Kota Takai are all ruled out. Joao Palhinha and Mohammed Kudus are set to make their debuts.

Tottenham Motivation

Tottenham would love to lift this trophy under new coach Thomas Frank. Motivation will be high.

However, Spurs look wide open and lacking defensive solidity. They may have to sit deep and play on the counter to have a chance of avoiding a heavy loss.
