Aston Villa will face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup tonight (Wednesday, August 10, 2026). Having won its first European trophy in over 40 years at the end of last season, the Europa League winners will play the back-to-back winners of the Champions League in Salzburg’s Red Bull Arena.
This will be the Villans’ first competitive match of the 26-27 season, with the first Premier League game not until Sunday, August 23, 2026, against Brighton & Hove Albion. The UEFA Super Cup will kick off at 8 pm GMT, but fans expect a very different team from the one that defeated SC Freiburg at Beşiktaş Park.
Since that famous 3-0 win, Aston Villa has sold two of its three goalscorers. Youri Tielemans has gone to Manchester United for £35,000,000, and Morgan Rogers has gone to Chelsea for £117,000,000, while another key player, Lucas Digne, now plays for the team they face tonight, Paris Saint-Germain, for £8,500,000.
Aston Villa has brought in reinforcements, however, including 17 July 2026 CM Switzerland’s Johan Manzambi from Freiburg (£52,000,000 ) and Brazil’s João Gomes from Wolverhampton Wanderers (£38,000,000). But will it be enough to defeat the Ligue 1 winners for the past five years? Unai Emery’s men are 4/1 to win…
