For 85 minutes, Spurs appeared to be on the brink of victory, leading 2–0 against the reigning European champions. Both goals came from set-pieces — a clear sign of Frank’s tactical influence — and Tottenham looked organised, disciplined, and dangerous.


“I think we played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world,” Frank said after the match. “We had them exactly where we wanted them for 80 or so minutes. Then the momentum changed with the 2-1 goal.”


Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou this summer, deployed a 3-5-2 formation and a more pragmatic approach than his predecessor. His tactics relied on high pressing, quick transitions, and an emphasis on set-pieces — both offensively and defensively.

    However, PSG fought back, scoring twice in the final minutes to force a penalty shootout, where they sealed victory. The result denied Spurs the chance to become the first Europa League winners to lift the Super Cup since 2018.


    While disappointed by the collapse, Frank pointed to positives, noting that Tottenham’s shape, defensive discipline, and set-piece strength are foundations to build on. Last season, his Brentford side conceded only three Premier League goals from set-pieces, and Spurs’ early performance hinted they could match that record.


    The match also marked a clear break from Postecoglou’s high-risk, possession-heavy style, with Frank favouring direct play when needed. “High pressure is a non-negotiable,” he said, suggesting Spurs’ tactical approach will remain aggressive but more adaptable than in previous seasons.


    For Tottenham fans, the night brought mixed emotions — excitement about the team’s new structure and frustration at seeing victory snatched away. For Frank, the challenge now is turning promise into consistent results.
