Son Heung-min posts classy Tottenham message after UEFA Super Cup defeat to PSG

Son Heung-min posted a classy message on Instagram moments after Tottenham were beaten by PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final.

Thomas Frank's side took the lead in Stadio Friuli, Udine thanks to Micky van de Ven blasting home from close range in the first half. Cristian Romero doubled Spurs' advantage early in the second half with a sublime header from a Pedro Porro free kick.

It was a superb performance from the Lilywhites against the Champions League holders and, in truth, PSG were kept at bay for most of the match. That changed in the closing stages, however, as the French champions got one back with five minutes of normal time remaining through Lee Kang-in. Goncalo Ramos then sent the tie to penalties with a well taken header in stoppage time. With Van de Ven and Mathys Tel missing their penalties in the shootout, Nuno Mendes scored the decisive spot kick to secure Luis Enrique's side the win.

Son completed a move to LAFC last week in a deal worth more than £20million, which is an MLS record. Despite that, the former Spurs captain took to Instagram on Wednesday night to send his former club a message of support.

Son wrote: "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 [white heart emoji] COYS."

With attention now turning to the Premier League and more specifically Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, Frank was pleased with what he saw against PSG and the hope will be that his side can take that performance into the 2025/26 season.

The former Brentford boss told the media: "I absolutely agree, very, very proud of the players, the team, the club, the fans. I think the players gave everything, playing against one of the best team in the world, maybe the best, at the moment, and I think we were 75, 80 minutes perfect, almost giving nothing away against, they had four players with unbelievable individual quality on the pitch. So very, very proud of them."

He added: "I think every game matters. I think if you look on the face of the players and all of us, we are hugely disappointed and I have my rule for 24 hours. I can be disappointed for 24 hours. We want to compete in a lot of different tournaments and if you want to do that, you need to be ready to do a quick turnaround and go again. I’ll make sure the players are ready and come flying out on Saturday."
