PSG and Aston Villa vie for second Super Cup title; Luis Enrique targets third

Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa are set to clash in the UEFA Super Cup, with both clubs vying for their second title in the competition. The match also features a coaching duel between PSG's Luis Enrique, who is aiming for his third Super Cup victory, and Aston Villa's Unai Emery, who is seeking to win the tournament for the first time.

PSG, the reigning champions after defeating Tottenham last year, aims to become the first team since Real Madrid in 2017-2018 to successfully defend their Super Cup title. This will be PSG's third appearance in the competition; they previously lost to Juventus in 1996. Luis Enrique has previously won the Super Cup twice, in 2015 with Barcelona and last season with PSG.

For Aston Villa, this marks their second Super Cup appearance, having won their first in 1982 against Barcelona. Unai Emery, renowned for his success in the Europa League with five titles, has a less distinguished record in the Super Cup, having lost twice as coach of Sevilla (2014, 2015) and once with Villarreal (2021).

Real Madrid leads the all-time Super Cup winners list with six titles, with Barcelona and Milan close behind with five. Spain dominates the trophy count with 17 wins. Notably, since 2018, the Europa League winner has not defeated the Champions League winner in this fixture.
