After Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa triumphed in the Champions League and the Europa League, respectively, the new season for the two teams will begin with a direct confrontation for the European Super Cup.
The match will be played at the “Red Bull Arena” in Salzburg, on August 12, from 22:00. The match will take place around ten days before the start of the new campaign in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League, scheduled for August 21-23.
PSG won the European Super Cup last year
Last year, PSG won the European Super Cup for the first time after a penalty shootout against another English opponent, Tottenham (2-2, 4-3 on penalties).
The Parisians' previous encounter for this trophy took place in 1996, when they lost to Juventus 2-9 on aggregate after two legs.
Aston Villa, in turn, won their only Super Cup match in 1982, beating Barcelona 3-1. However, the last time the Europa League champions lifted this trophy was in 2018, when Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 4-2 after extra time.
In the domestic competition, PSG won the title of champion, with 76 points, 6 above those from Lens. It was the 14th championship won by the Parisians Aston Villa ranked 4th in the Premier League, with 65 points.
I have some mixed feelings. Excitement, fatigue. Anyway, it's the most beautiful moment of the season. It's incredible to be champions twice in a row. We deserve it! Congratulations to Arsenal, it was very difficult for us. They tried to take the match in the areas where they were strong
