European football’s annual curtain-raiser takes centre stage this Wednesday. Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain will face Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy. The first continental silverware of the new season will be up for grabs.

It will also be an early gauge of how both sides might fare in the season 2025-26. For PSG, it’s a chance to claim the trophy for the first time and erase memories of their only previous Super Cup appearance. It was a record 9-2 aggregate loss to Juventus in 1996.

They lifted their first-ever Champions League title in May with a record-breaking 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan. Now Luis Enrique’s side are arriving at this match as clear favourites. Spurs, meanwhile, are contesting their first Super Cup and can become the seventh English club to lift the trophy.

PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur: Team Details

PSG enter the new campaign brimming with confidence. Ousmane Dembele, who’s now a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or, leads a powerful attacking unit for PSG alongside young stars Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, and Vitinha. However, the French champions lost the Club World Cup final to Chelsea only a few weeks ago.

Hence, they will be very motivated to avoid a repetition of that match. Spurs, under new manager Thomas Frank, are facing a transitional period. Club legend Heung-Min Son has departed for LAFC, while key playmaker James Maddison is sidelined with an ACL injury. Further absences will test Frank’s mettle against such an opponent.

Other Key Factors

This is the 50th edition of the Super Cup, with Champions League winners historically dominating the contest. UCL winners have lifted the trophy in 29 of 49 editions. For PSG, a win would make them the first French side to win in the competition, while Tottenham could become the eighth English club to appear.

They also have the chance to become the latest English club to etch their name on the trophy. If the match ends level after 90 minutes, it will go straight to penalties, with no extra time. The fixture marks the first-ever competitive meeting between the clubs, which makes it harder to pick a favourite.
