THE FUSE

Paris Saint-Germain face Aston Villa at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg in the UEFA Super Cup, the traditional meeting between the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League. Luis Enrique's reigning European champions take on Unai Emery's Villans. PSG arrive on the back of last season's Champions League triumph, their second in a row. Aston Villa are chasing another trophy to cap a remarkable season. Both PSG and Aston Villa have won this competition once: the French side triumphed in 2025, beating Tottenham 6-5 on penalties, while the English side won in 1982, overcoming Barcelona in the two-legged final (0-1 and 3-0 after extra time).
