Heung-min Son has urged his former Tottenham Hotspur teammates to remain positive and focused, despite their UEFA Super Cup heartbreak at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham Hotspur began their 2025/26 campaign on Wednesday with a clash against UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final.
Victory over the French champions would have secured Tottenham a second European trophy in just 12 weeks, following their Europa League success back in May.
However, the night ended in disappointment for the north London club, as they squandered a two-goal lead in normal time and were eventually beaten in a penalty shootout.

He posted on his Instagram story: “So proud of you team! good time will come very soon no time to be disappointed let’s be positive and move to next one big season ahead, still thinking of you Spurs family”.
