'Spurs' Shoot-Out Heartbreak'

Host Ricky Sacks was joined by Actors TJ Ramini, Darren Hart and Jim Via Oh So Spurs as our first-ever appearance in the UEFA Super Cup ended in a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain after a dramatic night in Italy on Wednesday. In what was Thomas Frank’s first competitive game as our Head Coach, we looked like we were going to add more silverware to the Europa League trophy we won three months ago, leading the Champions League winners 2-0 with five minutes to go. A goal in each half from defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero – leading the team out after being appointed club captain – coupled with an outstanding display put us in control at the Stadio Friuli, home of Udinese. But PSG dug deep and levelled with two late goals, Kang-In Lee scoring with five minutes left before Goncalo Ramos equalised in the 94th minute. The game went straight to penalties and once again we led 2-0, but we couldn’t hold onto our advantage again and ended up losing 4-3 on spot-kicks. The French champions only returned to training recently having reached the FIFA Club World Cup Final during the summer, but fielded eight of the starting 11 that began the Champions League Final against Internazionale, which they won 5-0. However, we produced a superb performance. All over the pitch we were excellent, defensively sound, snapping into tackles and closing up the gaps in midfield and dangerous in attack, while the pressing of the team in all areas was outstanding, not allowing PSG to get into their stride until the final moments when they dragged themselves back into the contest to force the shootout.
