Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa meet in Salzburg on Wednesday for the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, with the Champions League winners facing the Europa League holders, softfootball reported.
PSG arrive as the more decorated side under Luis Enrique, having continued their dominance in Europe and domestically. They also edged Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate in last season’s Champions League quarter-finals.
Villa, meanwhile, enter the contest after an impressive Europa League campaign that culminated in victory over Freiburg in the final.
Unai Emery’s side have since been busy rebuilding during pre-season, with three wins and three defeats from six friendlies, including a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich in their latest outing. Emery will be hoping the confidence and winning mentality that helped Villa finish the previous campaign strongly and secure European silverware can carry into this high-profile clash.
Team News
PSG could welcome back Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Fabián Ruiz, Achraf Hakimi and Warren Zaïre-Emery after their extended breaks. Villa have concerns over John McGinn, Emi Martínez and Ollie Watkins, while Johan Manzambi and Amadou Onana are unavailable.
Possible lineup
PSG: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, João Neves; Mbaye, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
Aston Villa: Bizot; Cash, Lindelöf, Pau Torres, Maatsen; João Gomes, Kamara; Hemmings, Buendía, Garnacho; Watkins.
