Before the match, PSG captain Marquinhos walked on to the pitch holding the Champions League trophy, while Tottenham's Cristian Romero held the Europa League trophy.
But by the end of the night in Italy, Marquinhos was lifting the Super Cup aloft as PSG won this competition for the first time in their history.
However, Spurs will be left wondering how they missed out on what would have been their fifth piece of European silverware.
Goals either side of half-time, from Micky van de Ven and newly-installed club captain Romero, had Spurs 2-0 ahead after 84 minutes and seemingly in control.
