Paris Saint-Germain, who have won the Ligue des Champions twice, will look to retain the Supercoupe d'Europe title they won last year against Tottenham, after a penalty shootout (2-2, 4-3). The team, led by coach Luis Enrique, will be bolstered by the presence of several World Cup players, including Dembélé, Doué, Zaïre-Emery, Lucas Hernandez, Hakimi, and Ruiz.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, will be led by Unai Emery, a former PSG coach between 2016 and 2018. The Villans, who won the Ligue Europa last season, will aim to secure their second Supercoupe d'Europe title in history. The match will be refereed by Omar Abdulkadir Artan, a 34-year-old Somalian referee who has been chosen by the UEFA in a context of institutional tensions with the FIFA. This will be his first match refereed on European soil.
The match will be broadcast live on Canal+ and Canal+ Foot.
