Paris Saint-Germain secured a thrilling 5-3 victory over Tottenham on Wednesday evening at Parc des Princes in the fifth matchday of the Champions League. Trailing twice, the Parisians turned the game around with a hat-trick from Vitinha and goals from Fabián Ruiz and Willian Pacho. Randal Kolo Muani, on loan from PSG to Tottenham, scored twice for the English side.
The match, played on November 26, 2025, at Parc des Princes, saw Tottenham take the lead through Richarlison in the 35th minute on a cross from Bergvall and a headed layoff by Kolo Muani. Vitinha equalized just before halftime (45th) with a volley into the top corner without control, assisted by Quentin Ndjantou. After the break, Kolo Muani restored Tottenham's advantage from a corner (50th), but Vitinha replied immediately with a left-footed strike (53rd).
Fabián Ruiz put PSG ahead in the 59th minute, following a high press by Lucas Hernandez and a backheel from Joao Neves. Willian Pacho extended the lead from a corner (65th), before Kolo Muani pulled one back (72nd) after an error by Vitinha. The Portuguese sealed the win from the penalty spot he had won (76th), completing his first hat-trick and earning man of the match honors.
Nuno Mendes was substituted at halftime by Hernandez as a precaution, possibly injured. Hernandez received a red card for an elbow (90+2). Ousmane Dembélé came on as a substitute, positive news after his injury against Bayern. With this fourth Champions League win, PSG rises to second in the standings and secures a playoff spot. This rematch of the European Supercup, won by Paris in mid-August (2-2, 4-3 pens), ended in another Parisian comeback.
