Yes, we can see how in the end, Chelsea and Tottenham also saw how they found gaps in the game applied by PSG. PSG did win the Champions League last season, but their strength has not yet been dominant...
PSG won the Champions League because they literally surprised Inter Milan in every way
They used a strategy that nobody expected and deservedly won...
Not only Chelsea, but Tottenham is also studying how Chelsea defeated PSG, even though in the end, they had to lose. We can see how poor Tottenham's performance was last season in the Premier League. They were at the bottom after the relegation zone. Facing PSG because they won the Europa League against United. But they almost won against PSG...
You're right, every match has its own unique circumstances, and this one was no different. Tottenham definitely showed more fight than many expected, especially considering how shaky they were in the EPL last season. Going from struggling at the bottom of the table to nearly pulling off a surprise against PSG is already a statement.
The question now is whether this shows Tottenham actually improving under new direction, or if PSG simply underestimated them and played below their usual level. For me, it’s probably a bit of both. PSG is still the stronger team on paper, but Tottenham showing resilience here could be a positive sign going forward—especially if they learn from this and build some consistency.
In the end, performances like this matter more for Tottenham than for PSG. PSG is always expected to win, but Tottenham proving they can compete at this level is something that might boost their confidence heading into the new season.
