It’s the curtain-raiser for the European season, but with everything on the line. PSG and Tottenham meet on Wednesday in Udine, Italy, in the UEFA Super Cup, bringing the Champions League winners against the Europa League holders in a clash of champions.
This is the first competitive meeting between these sides in this competition — and it comes with contrasting preparations. PSG have played no pre-season friendlies after a gruelling Club World Cup run.
Spurs have had six summer outings under Frank, but a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in their final warm-up leaves questions.
🔴🔵 PSG completed a clean sweep of domestic trophies in 2024-25.
⚪ Tottenham won the Europa League but finished 17th in the Premier League.
♻️ PSG vs Tottenham Key Facts 📊:
📊 First-ever meeting in the Super Cup.
📊 PSG – first Champions League title in history last season.
📊 Tottenham – first Super Cup appearance.
📊 PSG was unbeaten in all domestic competitions last year.
📊 The only meeting between the two sides ended 2:4 for the Spurs.
🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥:
PSG:
Luis Enrique’s men wrote history last season, finally delivering the Champions League trophy to Paris with a stunning 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the final.
They’ve had little rest, falling short in the Club World Cup final against Chelsea, but the squad remains largely intact. Expect their technical midfield and attacking flair to test Spurs from the first whistle.
Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez return from suspension, but Joao Neves is banned. New goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier should make his debut in a full-strength XI after Donnarumma’s exile from the team.
Tottenham:
The Ange Postecoglou era ended despite Europa League glory, replaced by Thomas Frank’s methodical style. Spurs’ pre-season was solid until the loss to Bayern, but wins over sides like Arsenal offer encouragement.
Injuries are a concern — Maddison, Kulusevski, and Dragusin are long-term absentees, while Solanke and Udogie remain doubtful. Bissouma has been left out of the squad due to “lateness to training”.
Expect a compact setup looking to hit PSG on the counter through Kudus and Richarlison.
👥 Predicted Lineups 👥:
PSG (4-3-3):
Chevalier (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
Tottenham (4-3-3):
Vicario (GK); Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr; Johnson, Richarlison, Kudus.

🔹 Mo Kudus – New Spurs star ready to shine on debut stage with his electric pace and dribbling.
