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.

Inter Miami face Club Leon in Matchday 3 of the 2026 Leagues Cup on Wednesday, August 12, with the primary question surrounding the availability of captain Lionel Messi. Inter Miami and Club Leon clash in Matchday 3 of the 2026 Leagues Cup, with the availability of captain Lionel Messi remaining the primary question for Herons fans. Last Saturday, the soccer world was saddened by news of the passing of Jorge Messi, father of Lionel Messi. The star forward traveled to Rosario, Argentina, to bid farewell to his father and spend time with his family. On Tuesday, Inter Miami coach Guillermo Hoyos revealed that there was no exact timeline for Messi’s return. His comments indicate the captain may not be available to face Club Leon, though other reports suggest he will return to Florida on Wednesday and could see minutes if needed. Inter Miami’s projected lineup to face Club Leon With Lionel Messi’s availability uncertain, Inter Miami could repeat their starting lineup from the match against CF Monterrey, where the Argentine superstar was unavailable. Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF against the Columbus Crew. Inter Miami projected XI (4-3-3): Rocco Rios Novo; Ian Fray, Fricio Caicedo, Micael, Noah Allen; Yannick Bright, Casemiro, Rodrigo De Paul; Lovens Delinois, Daniel Pinter, Telasco Segovia. Club Leon’s projected lineup to face Inter Miami Club Leon secured a key victory against Orlando City on Matchday 2. That win keeps their hopes of advancing alive, with a victory against Inter Miami virtually securing a spot in the knockout stage without needing other results. Club Leon projected XI (4-3-3): Oscar Garcia; Sebastian Vegas, Juan Guevara, Jhohan Romana, Ivan Moreno; Ivan Rodriguez, Fernando Beltran, Rodrigo Echeverria; Sebastian Santos, Daniel Arcila, Jordi Cortizo.
Arsenal made a mistake selling Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, says Ben Foster (Picture: Getty) Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster says he ‘can’t believe’ Arsenal allowed such an ‘influential’ squad member leave in Leandro Trossard this summer. Trossard played a key role as the Gunners brought their 22-year title drought to an end last season, finishing the top-flight campaign with six assists and six goals to his name. But the 31-year-old made it clear he was keen for a fresh challenge after two-and-a-half seasons in north London and went on to complete a move to Turkish giants Besiktas for a fee of just £15.3million. The Premier League champions had made sure to line up a like-for-like replacement in the shape of Christos Tzolis, who touched down at the Emirates to fill the void left by the Belgian on the left wing. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But Tzolis’ only previous experience of English football – a two-year spell with Norwich City – hardly set the world alight and there will be pressure on the Greece international to justify the £34m that Arsenal spent to sign the forward from Club Brugge. Arsenal had hoped to further strengthen their attack with a statement move for Vinicius Junior and were optimistic of prising the Brazilian away from Real Madrid right up until last week. Vinicius would go on to sign a new long-term contract at the Bernabeu, though, and it remains to be seen if the Gunners will focus their attentions on a possible alternative before the transfer deadline. Trossard brought his Arsenal spell to an end after two-and-a-half years in north London (Picture: Getty) The Belgian won the Premier League title with the Gunners last season (Picture: Getty) ‘I don’t like the Trossard sale, I really don’t,’ Foster said when discussing Arsenal’s transfer dealings on talkSPORT. I think he’s such a big, influential player for them and I can’t believe they’ve sold him. But on Bruno Guimaraes’ arrival, Foster added: ‘Big signing, I like him a lot.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); According to Foster, the title race appears wide open before a ball has been kicked this season.

It was third time lucky this summer in the history of Youri Tielemans and Manchester United. The club seriously looked at the Belgium midfielder in 2019, after he had impressed in an initial loan spell at Leicester City, and again in 2022, as they spent too long holding out for Frenkie de Jong to decide if he was prepared to leave Barcelona.
