Tottenham determined to demand justice for player who suffered racial discrimination

Despite being underestimated, Tottenham suddenly took a 2-0 lead from two set pieces by Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. The match then became a dramatic struggle.

However, Tottenham could not maintain their advantage against the fierce attack from coach Luis Enrique's team. As a result, in less than 10 minutes (from the 85th minute), PSG equalized thanks to goals from Lee Kang In and Goncalo Ramos.

After 90 minutes of tension on the field, both teams were dragged into a penalty shootout. On the 11m mark, substitute striker Mathys Tel missed the penalty, helping PSG win the European Super Cup.

After the match, the young French player received a lot of criticism from fans. Especially racist words on his social networks.

On their website, Tottenham defended the 20-year-old striker and said they were “disgusted” by the views of extremist fans and would take strong measures to stop these extremist fans.

“We are outraged by the racist abuse Mathys Tel received on social media following the UEFA Super Cup defeat.

Mathys showed courage and bravery in stepping up to take the penalty. His abusers are just cowards - hiding behind anonymous usernames and profiles to air their disgusting views.

We will work with the authorities and social media platforms to take the strongest possible action against any individuals we may identify," Tottenham said on its website.

In early February 2025, Tel joined Tottenham on loan for the rest of the season. Before that, he spent two full seasons with Bayern Munich, making 60 appearances and scoring a total of 12 goals.
