Paris Saint-Germain will face English opposition in the UEFA Super Cup for the second successive season when they play Aston Villa at the Red Bull Arena.
The Parisians beat Tottenham 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time, and after back-to-back Champions League wins, they will now face 2026 Europa League winners Villa.
The Villans beat Freiburg 3-0 in the final to win their first major trophy in 30 years, and so will be competing in the Champions League alongside PSG this season.

After years of trying to win the Champions League under their lucrative ownership, PSG ensured back-to-back victories by beating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after they were held to a 1-1 draw after extra-time.
It is the 12th piece of silverware the Parisians have won under Luis Enrique, and he is set to extend his stay at the club into the new season.
In order to try and keep themselves at the top, PSG have been strongly linked with the likes of Mika Godts, Zion Suzuki, Maghnes Akliouche and Lucas Digne, while Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in have all left for significant fees.
They will play Mallorca and Manchester United in friendlies before facing Villa, where they will hope players returning from the World Cup will be able to boost their fitness.
Their opponents are much further ahead in their pre-season preparations, having played five friendlies already (W3, L2).
The latest of those was a 3-1 win against Pathum United, and Villa will also play Bayern Munich before facing PSG.
The club is on a high after winning the Europa League and finishing fourth in the Premier League, with ex-PSG manager Unai Emery doing a great job at Villa Park.
Unfortunately for the Villans, their summer has been complicated by the significant injury to Amadou Onana suffered on World Cup duty and the club-record sale of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for £117m, but exciting signings like Johan Manzambi and Joao Gomes have been made to try and kick on again.

Whispers predicts: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Aston Villa
*odds subject to change
At the time of writing, PSG are favourites for victory, and given their recent European history, we are willing to back PSG to win at 4/5 (1.80) in normal time.
However, with Villa further on in pre-season and showcasing their ability to cause PSG problems in the 2024/25 Champions League, BTTS – Yes at 5/6 (1.83) could also be worth backing.
Over 3.5 goals at 9/4 (3.25) is our third and more ambitious pick, as we are expecting plenty of goals again like the nine scored over the two legs of those quarter-finals.
Overall, we are predicting a 3-1 PSG win, which is available at 13/1 (14.00).
> PSG to win at 4/5 (1.80) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 5/6 (1.83) | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 3.5 goals at 9/4 (3.25) | Likelihood: Possible
