UEFA unfurled a banner with the message “Stop Killing Children. Stop Killing Civilians” on the pitch before the Super Cup football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham in Udine, Italy, in the wake of heavy fallout over its meek tribute to a Palestinian player killed by Israel.

“The message is loud and clear,” European football’s governing body said in a post on X om Wednesday. “A banner. A call.”

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah last week criticised a UEFA tribute to the late Suleiman al-Obeid, known as the “Palestinian Pele”, after European football’s governing body failed to reference the circumstances surrounding his killing.

The Palestine Football Association said al-Obeid, 41, was killed by an Israeli attack on civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a brief post on X, UEFA called the former national team member “a talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times”.

Salah responded, “Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?”

“I think we played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world – maybe the best in this moment in time,” Frank told TNT Sports.

“I think we had them exactly where we wanted them for 80-something minutes until the 2-1 goal. Then, of course, that shifted a little bit the momentum, but there was so much positive.

“I am so proud of the team, the players, the club, the fans. I think there is a lot to be happy with. It is a flip of a coin when you go into a penalty shootout.”

“I am proud. We have hadn’t much preparation but you could see that football is not only about the physical aspect – it is also about the mental aspect, being in the right place, having the right tactics,” PSG captain Marquinhos told broadcaster Canal Plus.

“They sat back a lot after going 2-0 up and it is dangerous to invite PSG to come at you like that.”

The North London club begin their 2025-26 Premier League season on Saturday with a home game against newly-promoted Burnley.

This will be their first season under new manager Thomas Frank, who joined them from Brentford following the sacking of Postecoglou despite their Europa League triumph.

PSG will begin their Ligue 1 title defence with a Sunday night fixture away to Nantes.

The Parisians, also the reigning European champions, won the French top flight last season by finishing a whopping 19 points ahead of second-placed Marseille.

European champions Paris Saint-Germain began the new season by lifting more silverware on Wednesday as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup after producing a late comeback to draw the match 2-2.

Spurs looked set to get their hands on the trophy in their first competitive match under new coach Thomas Frank as they led 2-0 just after half-time at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.

Micky van de Ven gave last season’s Europa League winners the lead on 39 minutes and Cristian Romero got their second goal three minutes into the second half.

However, PSG were rescued by two substitutes as Lee Kang-in pulled a goal back in the 85th minute and Goncalo Ramos headed in the equaliser four minutes into injury time.

That meant a penalty shootout, but it started badly for PSG when Vitinha put their first kick wide.

However, new Paris goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier saved from van de Ven and Mathys Tel missed the target, allowing Nuno Mendes to convert the winning penalty for PSG.

Dominic Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pedro Porro all scored from the spot for Spurs, in vain. Ramos, Ousmane Dembele and Lee converted for PSG before Mendes stepped up.

It is the first time PSG, or indeed any French club, have lifted the Super Cup, as they take their tally of trophies won in 2025 to five.

It is also the perfect start to the new campaign for Luis Enrique’s team, who had a shortened off-season break having lost the FIFA Club World Cup final to Chelsea exactly a month ago.

A gleeful Enrique, the PSG manager, leads the squad to the podium to receive their winners’ medals.

Captain Marquinhos is the last one to get his laurel and wastes no time in holding the trophy, as he joins his teammates who have been eagerly waiting for this moment.

As the golden confetti goes back in the background, Marquinhos lifts the trophy in the air. PSG are officially the UEFA Super Cup winners!

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and PSG President Nasser al-Khelaifi are among the delegation on stage for the trophy ceremony.

Tottenham, led by captain Romero, are the first to receive their runners-up medals.

The 4-3 penalty shootout win means PSG will lift the Super Cup, their fourth title this year.

They also won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and French Cup titles.

Tottenham were in control of the match for large parts of the match – 85 minutes to be precise. Goals from van de Ven and Romero gave them a two-goal lead, but they conceded twice in the late periods of the final, punishing themselves to undergo the pressure of a shootout.

Taking the penalties in front of their fans’ end, the Spurs missed two spotkicks, as they lost 4-3 to PSG.

After a commendable performance, the night ends on a bitter note for Thomas Frank and Co.

Dancing to the tune of “Freed from Desire”, the PSG squad is celebrating their impeccable come-from-behind victory tonight.

The Champions League holders were 2-0 down with only five minutes of normal time left. But, Lee scored a screamer in the 85th minute, and Ramos scored a header in stoppage time to force the match into a shootout.

The Parisians started with a missed spotkick, but yet again bounced back in style, running out 4-3 shootout winners to clinch their first-ever Super Cup title.

Mendes, the final spot kick taker, finds the net, and PSG’s comeback is complete. They beat Tottenham 4-3 on penalties to win the Super Cup!
