Teams Set to Compete
Paris Saint-Germain enter as back-to-back Champions League winners. Their powerful attack includes 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, alongside Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Defensively and in midfield, they boast players like Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, and Joao Neves.
PSG secured their consecutive title by beating Arsenal on penalties, having also overcome tough opponents such as Monaco, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich in thrilling encounters.
Aston Villa earned their spot by winning the Europa League under manager Unai Emery, who claimed his fifth trophy in the competition—more than any other manager. Villa comfortably defeated Lille, Bologna, Nottingham Forest, and Freiburg en route to their victory.
Despite being heavy underdogs, Villa can draw inspiration from Tottenham's strong 2025 effort, where Spurs pushed PSG to penalties in their Super Cup final meeting.

Previous Super Cup Recap
The last UEFA Super Cup final featured Paris Saint-Germain against Tottenham Hotspur, the 2025 Europa League winners. PSG had just crushed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, while Spurs edged Manchester United to reach the Super Cup.
Despite Tottenham leading for most of the match, they lost a two-goal advantage late on and ultimately fell to PSG in a 4-3 penalty shootout. This was PSG's first Super Cup win following their European triumph.
Aston Villa has prior experience, having won the European Super Cup in 1982 against Barcelona. The two sides' previous meetings occurred in April 2025 during the Champions League quarter-finals, where PSG narrowly advanced 5-4 over two legs.
