Under the lights of Udine, the European club season will begin with PSG facing Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night [August 13].
The Champions League winners from France and the Europa League champions from England are meeting for the chance to claim the first major trophy of the new campaign.
For PSG, the 2024-25 season will be remembered for its relentless dominance and historic achievements.
Luis Enrique’s team collected Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions honors, then crowned it all with a first Champions League title after beating Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich, the biggest winning margin ever seen in the final.
They chased an unprecedented quintuple but fell short when Chelsea beat them 3-0 in the Club World Cup final, and their packed schedule has left no room for preseason friendlies before facing Nantes in Ligue 1 this weekend.
Tottenham approach this match after a full summer of preparation under new manager Thomas Frank, playing six warm-up games including a spirited win over Arsenal in Hong Kong, though they ended with a heavy 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.
Winning the Europa League last May ended a 17-year wait for silverware, but a poor league finish still led to the departure of Ange Postecoglou.
