In a fiery Parc des Princes, PSG and Tottenham delivered a wild, goal-filled thriller that ended with a Parisian victory. Trailing twice, Paris turned the game on its head thanks to a sensational Vitinha, who capped off a stunning performance with a hat-trick, supported by a team in full flight.
Paris were caught cold early on by an aggressive Tottenham side, rewarded with Richarlison’s opener. But Vitinha brought PSG level with a spectacular strike just before halftime. The second half was just as explosive: Kolo Muani put the Spurs ahead again, Vitinha equalised instantly, and Ruiz plus Pacho pushed PSG in front.
At 4-2, Paris looked safe, but a mistake from Vitinha gave Tottenham hope again. Kolo Muani struck for his brace, making it 4-3 and setting up a tense finale. PSG eventually took control, continued pressing, and earned a penalty that Vitinha converted to complete his hat-trick and seal the win.
