PSG will aim to repeat Real Madrid's 2-year consecutive UEFA European Super Cup (UEFA) championship achievement in 2016 and 2017. Last year, PSG defeated Tottenham Hotspur after a late comeback and a penalty shootout victory.
Coach Luis Enrique has the opportunity to add his 13th title with PSG to his collection right in the middle of this week, before facing Lens in the French Super Cup match. After that, they will begin their journey to defend the Ligue 1 championship with a confrontation with Rennes.
PSG does not have the strongest squad in the pre-season period because many players have just returned from the 2026 World Cup. They started with a 0-3 defeat to Mallorca, then drew 1-1 with Manchester United. Although not yet in the best condition, PSG still possesses a formidable attack when they have scored in 28 consecutive official matches since the defeat to Paris FC in January.
On the other side, Aston Villa entered the match as the Europa League champion last season. Unai Emery's team defeated Freiburg in the final in Istanbul to win their first major title in 30 years. However, Villa parted ways with two important players, Morgan Rogers and captain Youri Tielemans in the summer.
The Birmingham team has recruited Alejandro Garnacho, Joao Gomes and Johan Manzambi to fill the gap. They also experienced a dense friendly schedule with 6 matches, 3 wins and 3 losses, including a 1-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
Emery has a lot of experience in the Europa League but has never won the UEFA Super Cup after 3 participations. Notably, he once lost 4-5 to Luis Enrique's Barcelona when he was still leading Sevilla.
