Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) plays Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, aiming for victory. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
There are six trophies up for grabs for PSG this season, with the top priority being a third straight Champions League title to cement its status as one of the greatest club teams in soccer history.
The first trophy could be lifted at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, in the annual match between the most recent winners of the Champions League and Europa League. It starts at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT).
PSG is bidding for a second straight Super Cup win after beating Tottenham in a penalty shootout last year.
Aston Villa won the Super Cup in 1983 after beating Barcelona over two legs. The manager, Unai Emery, has experienced three straight losses in the Super Cup — the first two with Sevilla and the third with Villarreal.
The game will be refereed by Omar Artan, the Somali who was barred by UEFA.
