PSG vs Tottenham Timeline: Head-to-Head Record, 2025 Match & More

When Paris Saint-Germain hosted Tottenham Hotspur in November 2025, few expected the fireworks that followed. The Champions League group-stage clash delivered a 5-3 thriller, with a Vitinha hat trick stealing the show. This article traces the full history between these two sides and what the latest result means for both clubs.

Total matches played: 2 · PSG wins: 1 · Tottenham wins: 1 · Most recent match: 26 November 2025 · Latest score: PSG 5–3 Tottenham · Biggest win: PSG 5–3 Tottenham (2025)

The implication: the sparse data makes it hard to call a trend, but PSG’s victory in a competitive fixture carries more weight than a pre-season friendly.

2017 International Champions Cup friendly

The two clubs first crossed paths on 23 July 2017 in a pre-season friendly under the International Champions Cup banner. Details remain sparse: the match was a friendly, and Tottenham reportedly won, but no official score or lineup details are widely recorded. What is clear is that this meeting did not take place in an official UEFA competition.

What is the PSG vs Tottenham head-to-head record in the last 5 matches?

Overall head-to-head stats

Only two matches separate these two clubs. According to UEFA’s official head-to-head page, Paris Saint-Germain have one win, Tottenham Hotspur have no wins in the competition’s history (the official page counts only UEFA competition meetings, not friendlies). The page shows total goals as 5 for PSG and 3 for Tottenham, aligning with the 2025 result.

Goals scored per team

In the only UEFA-ratified match, PSG scored 5 and Tottenham scored 3. If we include the 2017 friendly, Tottenham’s total goals are unconfirmed. The reliable data point: PSG hold a +2 goal difference in competitive meetings.

Win/loss/draw breakdown

PSG: 1 win, 0 draws, 0 losses (UEFA competition record). Tottenham: 0 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss (UEFA). Adding the friendly gives each side one win apiece in the unofficial overall record.

The pattern: the competitive record gives PSG a clear edge, but the overall history remains too thin to draw definitive conclusions about which side is stronger.

Summary

The PSG vs Tottenham timeline is short but telling. One friendly in 2017, one competitive thriller in 2025, and a head-to-head record that tells us little about long-term trends. For Tottenham, the 5-3 defeat in Paris exposed defensive fragility that manager Ange Postecoglou must address if his side wants to compete with Europe’s elite. For Paris, Vitinha’s emergence as a clutch performer signals depth beyond their star names. For fans of both clubs, the wait for a third meeting may feel long — but if it delivers anything close to the 2025 spectacle, it will be worth it. The neutral observer should watch the next meeting live.
