Tottenham will look to avenge their heartbreak from the Super Cup as they take on European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Thomas Frank’s reign at Spurs kicked off with a silverware near-miss in August’s clash of continental cup winners, with the Europa League holders throwing away a two-goal lead in the last five minutes to lose to heavy favourites PSG on penalties.
While Spurs fans, fresh off their 17th-place league finish with Ange Postecoglou, could take some encouragement from pushing such a strong team to the wire, goodwill towards Frank is now at a stark low after suffering a humiliating 4-1 derby thrashing at the hands of Arsenal on Sunday.
They’ll need a much improved performance against the Parisians, who to nobody’s surprise are top of Ligue 1 but do come into the clash with defeat in Europe relatively fresh on the mind, suffering a 2-1 home loss to Bayern Munich at the beginning of November.

Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur continue their Champions League campaigns as the visitors face a tough trip after a difficult derby day.
Spurs manager Thomas Frank faced criticism for a passive approach against Arsenal that resulted in a 4-1 defeat to their north London rivals, and now faces a meeting with last year’s Champions League winners in Paris.
Frank’s side have made a solid enough start to their return to the top tier of European competition, and start the fifth round of fixtures a point behind their opponents.
PSG suffered a defeat to Bayern Munich in their last Champions League outing and will hope to solidify their place in the top eight of the league phase.
