Teams Competing in the UEFA Super Cup 2026
Paris Saint-Germain are back-to-back Champions League winners, boasting a powerful attacking lineup including 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Their defense features players like Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi, supported by midfielders Vitinha and Joao Neves.
They claimed victory over Arsenal on penalties in the final, following impressive wins against Monaco, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich in one of the most thrilling campaigns in recent memory.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, secured their fifth Europa League trophy—the most for any manager—by comfortably defeating Lille, Bologna, Nottingham Forest, and Freiburg. Entering as underdogs, they draw confidence from Tottenham’s near-upset last year when Spurs took PSG to penalties in their Super Cup meeting.

Previous UEFA Super Cup Final Recap
Last season's Super Cup saw PSG face Tottenham Hotspur, who won the 2025 Europa League. PSG entered after a dominant 5-0 Champions League final win over Inter Milan, while Spurs had narrowly beaten Manchester United.
Despite Tottenham leading for most of the match, they lost their two-goal advantage late on and ultimately fell to PSG in a penalty shootout, 4-3.
Aston Villa have history in this competition, winning the European Super Cup once before in 1982 against Barcelona. PSG lifted their first Super Cup last season, aiming now to defend their crown early in the season.
The two clubs have only met twice before, both times in April 2025 during the Champions League quarter-finals, with PSG narrowly winning 5-4 over two legs.
