The two teams previously met once in the European Super Cup in August 2025. In that match, Paris Saint-Germain came back from a 0-2 deficit to equalize and win on penalties.

Yesterday at Parc des Princes, the Ligue 1 representatives similarly secured a hard-fought comeback victory in an equally thrilling encounter.

Vitinha (number 17) scored a hat-trick in Paris Saint-Germain's 5-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Parc des Princes, Paris, France on 26/11. *Leparisien*

Tottenham surprised the hosts by taking the lead twice, thanks to their striking duo. In the 35th minute, Richarlison scored with a close-range header to open the scoring. In the 50th minute, Randal Kolo Muani netted a rebound against his parent club, as he is currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham Hotspur.

On both occasions, Paris Saint-Germain quickly found equalizers through Vitinha's spectacular goals. In the 45th minute, the Portuguese midfielder curled a right-footed shot from outside the box into the top corner, leaving the Tottenham goalkeeper rooted to the spot. In the 53rd minute, he shined again with a left-footed angled shot to complete his brace.

Subsequently, Fabian Ruiz and Willian Pacho each scored, extending Paris Saint-Germain's lead to 4-2. In the 72nd minute, Kolo Muani completed his brace, narrowing the deficit for the visiting team.

However, the French forward's efforts only set the stage for Vitinha, who converted a penalty in the 76th minute to secure his first career hat-trick. Lucas Hernandez receiving a red card in injury time did not prevent Paris Saint-Germain from keeping all three points in Paris.

With this result, Paris Saint-Germain climbed to second place with 12 points, ahead of Bayern Munich on goal difference, and trailing only Arsenal, the sole club with a perfect 15 points. Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten streak in this season's Champions League ended, and they dropped to 16th place with 8 points, a position that requires a play-off to qualify for the round of 16.
