Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns on Wednesday night in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.
The match pits the reigning UEFA Champions League winners against the Europa League champions, with both sides looking to claim early-season silverware and set the tone for their upcoming campaigns.
Road to the Super Cup
PSG secured their place after lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time in their history last season, defeating Manchester City in the final. Luis Enrique’s side enjoyed a stellar European campaign, blending defensive solidity with explosive attacking play led by Kylian Mbappé.
Spurs, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, clinched the Europa League title after beating Atalanta in a thrilling final. It was their first European trophy since 1984 and a statement of intent from a squad rejuvenated under the Australian manager.
Recent Form and Preparations
PSG come into the match after an unbeaten pre-season tour, including victories over Barcelona and Napoli. Their squad remains strong despite summer transfer speculation surrounding several key players.
