PSG and Aston Villa are clashing for the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, the first major trophy of the 2026-27 season at stake. The 2026 UEFA Super Cup final has arrived, with Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa clashing on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria. Competing for the first European trophy of the 2026–27 season, PSG are looking to win in back-to-back editions. PSG earned their place in the final after winning the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League over Arsenal. Following a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes, the Parisian club secured a 5-4 victory in the penalty shootout to capture back-to-back Champions League titles, the second in franchise history. Meanwhile, Aston Villa secured their spot in the Super Cup by defeating SC Freiburg to win the UEFA Europa League. The Villans posted a dominant 3-0 victory at Tupras Stadium, allowing manager Unai Emery to lift his fifth Europa League trophy across six final appearances. PSG and Aston Villa have met twice before, making the Super Cup their third all-time clash. Their initial encounters came during the 2024-25 Champions League quarterfinals, where PSG took the first leg 3-1 before Villa won the second leg 3-2, allowing the French champions to advance 5-4 on aggregate.

A victory for PSG against Aston Villa on Wednesday would crown the French club as UEFA Super Cup champions for the second consecutive year. Because the competition is a single-leg match since the 1998 edition, the Villans would not have an opportunity to overturn the result in a second leg. Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain would become only the third club in history to capture back-to-back UEFA Super Cup titles. AC Milan became the first team to accomplish the feat by winning in 1989 and 1990, while Real Madrid joined the list by sweeping the 2016 and 2017 editions. A win would also elevate Luis Enrique into a tie for the third-most UEFA Super Cup titles among managers, adding to his 2015 triumph with Barcelona and last year’s victory with PSG. Reaching three Super Cup titles would put the Spanish manager one behind Pep Guardiola for second place and two behind all-time leader Carlo Ancelotti, who holds five. What happens if PSG draw against Aston Villa? If PSG and Aston Villa remain tied at the end of 90 minutes of regulation, the winner will be decided directly via a penalty shootout. Under current UEFA Super Cup regulations, extra time will not be played. As a result, the match will consist of two 45-minute halves plus stoppage time, with a penalty shootout serving as the immediate tiebreaker if neither club holds an advantage at the final whistle. What happens if PSG lose against Aston Villa? If PSG fall to Aston Villa, the English side will lift the UEFA Super Cup for the second time in franchise history, joining their 1982 triumph. Meanwhile, it would mark PSG’s first loss in a Super Cup final, bringing their all-time record in the event to 1-1. Furthermore, a victory would deliver Unai Emery his first career UEFA Super Cup trophy. Although his five Europa League titles previously earned him five Super Cup appearances, four ended in defeats to reigning Champions League winners, leaving the Spanish manager searching for his breakthrough against PSG.

Mykhailo Mudryk is back available for Chelsea (Picture: Reuters) Mykhailo Mudryk has made his transfer preference clear after Chelsea reportedly ruled out selling the winger this summer. Mudryk was unavailable to play for almost two years after he was suspended for returning an ‘adverse finding’ for the banned substance meldonium. However, the Ukrainian has now been cleared to play again after resolving his doping case with the Football Association. Mudryk subsequently joined up with Chelsea’s pre-season tour, making three brief cameo appearances off the bench against Juventus, AC Milan and Johor Darul Ta’zim.

However, after nearly two seasons without a first-team appearance, it appears likely that the 25-year-old will go out on loan to get regular minutes and demonstrate his level after such a long lay-off. Widespread reports indicate that Chelsea are not considering a sale for Mudryk this summer, with several clubs across Europe interested in a loan for the winger. Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg are interested in a deal for Mudryk after already securing the loan signing of goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. Mykhailo Mudryk has featured in pre-season (Picture: AP) But Fabrizio Romano reports that Mudryk would prefer to remain in the Premier League next season if Chelsea do reach an agreement to send him out on loan. Frank Lampard’s Coventry City have been linked with a move for Mudryk as the former Chelsea boss looks to add firepower to his squad ahead of their Premier League return. Speaking last week about Mudryk’s Chelsea future, Xabi Alonso said: ‘Everything has happened so quick, so the main thing is thinking about the person, to feel that he was back in the group dynamic, part of a team, and we need to assess [how he is doing]. Mudryk is set to leave Chelsea on loan before deadline day (Picture: Getty) ‘But for sure, he’s a special player. It’s a special case with him, so we need to be sensitive.’ Meanwhile, Chelsea teammate Tosin Adarabioyo was full of praise for Mudryk’s attitude during his 20-month absence, saying of the Ukrainian: ‘Misha is a freak. His work rate is unbelievable. There is no doubt he has been working hard throughout this whole time. ‘I know he has been doing sessions away. I have seen him. I know the guys he has been working with, so it’s good. ‘Misha is my guy. I have kept in contact with him throughout and it is really nice to have him back. I am really happy for him. ‘You can see he is just really happy to be around and back in the environment. It is obviously going to take him some time, but we are all here to support him.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
