Tottenham midfielder Joao Palhinha has admitted that the next few days will be tough for his new side after their UEFA Super Cup final defeat to PSG. Despite being involved in the match on and off the pitch, including a memorable reaction shot that led to one of PSG’s goals, Spurs were unable to overcome the French team.
Palhinha started only his second game for Spurs and was instrumental in taking a 2-0 lead against PSG. However, he was taken off in the 72nd minute due to lack of match fitness, which ultimately cost Spurs the tie. Despite this setback, Palhinha expressed pride in his team’s performance and vowed that they would “show what we are capable of” moving forward.
The Portuguese midfielder acknowledged that the loss will be difficult for everyone involved but emphasized the importance of focusing on their next game against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. With several competitions to tackle, including the Champions League, Palhinha believes Tottenham has all the conditions to achieve great things this season.
Palhinha’s move to Spurs marks a return to the Premier League after two successful years at Fulham. He is relishing his new role and is confident that his team will bounce back from this defeat with renewed focus and determination.
