71 min: Ruiz buzzes down the right and cuts back for Dembele, who shanks his shot wide right. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
70 min: Doue crosses from the left to nobody in particular. Vicario claims. The French and European champs running out of ideas. “Perhaps PSG made the mistake of listening to a universal football cliche, something along the lines of ‘les gars, c’est Tottenham’,” suggests Ian Copestake. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

68 min: Barcola and Zaire-Emery are replaced by Lee and Mbaye. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
66 min: Doue cuts in from the right. Shoots. Vicario parries well. The ball drops to Ruiz, on the left-hand side of the six-yard box. He drops a shoulder and takes a whack. Danso throws himself in the road to block. Then the rebound falls to Barcola, who slots. Third time lucky? Nope! Ruiz was clearly offside when Doue took the first shy at goal. It doesn’t look like being PSG’s evening. PSG 0-3 Spurs. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

64 min: Vitinho swings a ball in from the left. Hakimi can’t control, but the ball breaks to Zaïre-Emery, whose snapshot is blocked. Then the flag goes up for offside. However, had that gone in, VAR may well have had a long look at the positioning of Danso, who may have been playing Hakimi on. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

62 min: Danso is booked for kicking the ball away in Richarlisonesque style. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
61 min: Danso flings another long throw in from the left. Kudus misses with a bicycle kick. Sarr, free on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box, slams a shot straight at Chevalier, who saves well nevertheless. Then the whistle goes for Kudus’s high-kicking antics. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
60 min: Kvaratskhelia concedes another foul, and is very fortunate not to go into the book for repeated offending. He’s then hooked with Fabian Ruiz coming on. It’s not been Kvaratskhelia’s evening at all. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
59 min: Porro takes. It’s an ambitious effort from way out, but it deflects off the wall for a corner. Vitinha heads away Porro’s delivery. A third Spurs goal is far from a pipe dream. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
57 min: PSG are rattled all right, and now Pacho, having had his pocket picked by Sarr, is booked for clipping his opponent’s ankle. A free kick 30 yards out, and a chance to work Chevalier in the wake of that earlier mistake. PSG 0-2 Spurs.
Share
55 min: Porro goes over in the PSG box, having entered it from the right flank. Mendes had lightly pushed him from behind, but not enough to send his man over. The referee waves play on. PSG counter, and Doue, having run down a cul-de-sac, clips Richarlison in frustration. Barcola is booked for arguing the toss over the decision. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

53 min: Richarlison is stupidly booked for needlessly kicking the ball away, after PSG are awarded a garden-variety free kick in the middle of the park. As daft as it gets. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

52 min: Kvaratskhelia, running hot after that exchange of views with Romero, clatters Richarlison out on the left. The ball’s sent towards Danso at the far stick. Danso ripples the side netting with his header. So close to a third. This is so impressive from Spurs. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

50 min: Kvaratskhelia tries to reduce the arrears immediately, breaking into the Spurs box down the right. He takes a heavy touch and shoots from a tight angle. The ball’s deflected out for a corner, which is worked towards Kvaratskhelia on the left-hand side of the six-yard box. Kvaratskhelia tries a bicycle kick but only manages to hoof Van de Ven in the chest. Romero squares up to Kvaratskhelia, who was within his rights to go for goal. You’re the captain now, sir. PSG 0-2 Spurs.

GOAL! PSG 0-2 Spurs (Romero 48)
A Spurs free kick out on the right. Porro hits it long. Romero peels away at the far post, and heads across goal. Chevalier flaps instead of parries, and the ball squeaks into the bottom-right corner! Simple as that. A horror-show for the new PSG keeper.

47 min: … and things nearly go from bad to worse for the European champions, as Doue ships possession carelessly out on the Spurs right. Richarlison slams a shot towards the bottom right that’s parried clear by Chevalier. But no matter, because …
Share
46 min: So that kick-off … Vitinha tried to put the restart out of play, rugby-union style, near the corner flag on the right, in the hope of gaining territory. But he overhit it, and the ball sailed out for a goal kick. That just about sums up PSG’s evening so far. PSG 0-1 Spurs.

PSG – who were made to wait by Tottenham, Thomas Frank’s side re-emerging from the tunnel fashionably late – get the second half started. No changes. If they find an equaliser and the match ends in a draw, we’ll go straight to penalties, no extra time. But a long way to go yet before everyone starts worrying about that. PSG 0-1 Spurs.

Half-time postbag. “As a Spurs supporter, I genuinely went into this match with rather low expectations. Avoid getting thumped, make it difficult and stodgy and maybe win with a scrappy goal like we did the Europa League final, especially since Son has left, Maddison is injured, and so is Kulusevski. I figured we’d be completely toothless. Such was my surprise when not only are we ahead at half-time, but we’ve been the better team! Thomas Frank’s magic at work already, perhaps?” – Alexandra Ashton
“As a Spurs fan, I came into this game nervous after our slaying by Bayern Munich. I felt we won the Europa League on the back of a nervous performance that was far from convincing. When Maddison got injured, it seemed we were back to where we finished the season. The last 45 minutes, however, have been our most competent performance in a long time, with Danso and Kudos particularly impressive” – Matthew Carpenter-Arevalo
“As a Chelsea fan, I’m worried that if Spurs beat PSG by more than three goals, they will take the mantle as the best club team in the world” – Julian Menz
“It may sound like a preposterous proposition, but Spurs should try to sign PSG’s number 14. To Dare is to Doue!” – Peter Oh

HALF TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are currently doing a Chelseaesque number on the European champions.

45 min: Spence has a whack from distance. The shot’s blocked and loops to Danso, who heads across from the left. Richarlison wins an aerial challenge with Pacho on the penalty spot. The ball’s helped on by Kudus, and off the right-hand upright! Richarlison can’t ram home the rebound. Wow. Spurs so close to a two-goal lead, and it wouldn’t have flattered them either. PSG 0-1 Spurs.

44 min: Kudus gets the better of Pacho down the right, only to wang a wild cross over everyone’s head. PSG were light at the back there. PSG 0-1 Spurs.
Share
43 min: PSG try to respond immediately, Barcola winning a corner down the left. From that set piece, the ball’s worked back to Doue, who shoots from the edge of the box. That’s deflected out to the right for another corner … and nothing comes of that one, Dembele dribbling down a nowhere road and out for a goal kick. Vicario still hasn’t had a save to make. PSG 0-1 Spurs.

41 min: Van de Ven did his bit to win the Europa League with a high-kicking clearance off the line in the final. Now he’s made his mark in a European showpiece at the other end. “We know what we are, champions of Europe!” trill the Spurs fans, using watertight playground / pool-table-winner-stays-on logic. PSG 0-1 Spurs.

GOAL! Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur (Van de Ven 39)
Kudus tussles with Hakimi on the halfway line and wins a free kick. Vicario launches it forward. PSG fail to deal with it. Bentancur heads it across the face of goal from the left. Van de Ven somehow bundles the ball into the road of Paulinho, who sends a rising shot towards the top-left corner. It takes a deflection, and Chevalier tips it onto the bar. A wonder save … but the ball drops back to Van de Ven, who can’t miss from six yards. Nothing more than Spurs deserve!

38 min: PSG keep Spurs pinned back for the first time this evening. But they’ve yet to muster a shot on target. Vicario has had next to nothing to do. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
36 min: Kvaratskhelia drives down the right again. His cutback is only half cleared by Romero, and the ball finds Dembele on the penalty spot. Dembele leans back and hoicks over. PSG slowly growing into this at last. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
34 min: Kvaratskhelia slips Doue into space down the right. Doue whistles a low cross into the Spurs six-yard box, but there’s only Vicario in it. The keeper smothers. Not sure where Dembele and Barcola were. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
32 min: Spence steals the ball off Hakimi and once again it’s close but no cigar with a run down the left. He’s been a constant danger. But PSG are uncertain, and Spurs come again. Marquinhos fails to deal with Porro’s cross from the right. He slaps the ball straight to Kudus, whose first-time drive is blocked by … Marquinhos, making up for his error. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
31 min: The pace drops. So much for the restorative and reinvigorating power of MID-HALF BEVVY™. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
29 min: PSG finally show in attack. Dembele spins on the halfway line and whips a pass down the left for Barcola, who gets the better of Porro to reach the byline, but has his cutback blocked out for a corner by Sarr. Nothing comes of the resulting set piece – Vitinha overhits it woefully – but that’s much better from the European champions. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
Share
27 min: Another long Danso throw from the right. The super-lanky Van de Ven competes for it, but Marquinhos times his clearance well. PSG 0-0 Spurs.
