Recent UEFA Super Cup History
Last year’s final featured PSG facing off against English Europa League winners Tottenham. PSG had just thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final. Tottenham led for most of the match, holding an 85-minute lead and a two-goal advantage before conceding late goals. Ultimately, PSG triumphed 4-3 on penalties.
Aston Villa previously won the European Super Cup in 1982 by defeating Barcelona. Meanwhile, PSG lifted their first Super Cup last season following their first European Cup win. These two teams have met only twice before; in April 2025, PSG narrowly advanced past Villa 5-4 over two thrilling Champions League quarter-final legs.
