Praise: Glenn Hoddle
Tottenham Hotspurs Football Newsletter
However, late goals from PSG substitutes Kang-in Lee and Goncalo Ramos forced the tie into penalties and the Champions League winners triumphed as both Micky Van de Ven and Mathys Tel missed for Spurs.
That said, Hoddle was impressed with his former club’s overall performance and believes Thomas Frank’s side were the better team.
Speaking on TNT Sports, he said: "They more than held their own, they were the better team by far. I think Luis Enrique actually sort of apologised in a way when he went up to Thomas Frank at the end there.
"For me, when they analyse the performance that will give them so much belief going into the Champions League. Playing against this great side that have won the Champions League, 'we went toe-to-toe and more and over 90 minutes we were the better team'.

"The substitutions made the difference but at the end of the day they have got a Champions League to play and I think that's a template.
"The way they played there, don't be surprised if they play Liverpool, if they play Manchester City, if they play Arsenal - that's a template to play in the Champions League and maybe away from home.
"That is something they will really grasp. They will look at that and analyse and say 'we were the better team'.
"So that's a template now to go on the front foot and go toe-to-toe with these teams. That is a massive performance from Tottenham tonight from a manager's point-of-view.
"Yes it's emotional and disappointing because you are 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go and you've lost the trophy, but at the end of the day I think it's a real positive night for Tottenham."
