UEFA Super Cup: How to watch Paris Saint-Germain vs Aston Villa game in India
Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa will battle for the first major European club trophy of the new season when they meet in the UEFA Super Cup at Stadion Salzburg in Austria on Wednesday.
The UEFA Super Cup brings together the winners of Europe’s two main club competitions. PSG qualified after winning the Champions League, while Aston Villa earned their place by lifting the Europa League.
The match is traditionally seen as the curtain-raiser to the new European season. The competition was officially introduced in 1973, with the European Cup winners facing the Cup Winners’ Cup champions. After the Cup Winners’ Cup was discontinued in 1999, the Europa League winners took its place.
PSG head into the match as the reigning Champions League and Super Cup winners after beating Tottenham Hotspur on penalties in last year’s final. Aston Villa booked their place by beating Freiburg 3-0 in the Europa League final.
Both teams will be aiming to win the Super Cup for the second time in their history.
Luis Enrique’s PSG have had limited preparation, with several players only recently returning from the FIFA World Cup. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have also had to deal with changes to their squad ahead of the new season.
The two sides are familiar with each other, having met in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2025. PSG progressed after winning the tie 5-4 on aggregate.
