Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Clash in UEFA Super Cup Showdown

Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham shift the European spotlight to Udine as the Super Cup looms, with UEFA noting it’s Champions League winners PSG against Europa League champions Spurs on Wednesday. UEFA’s match preview highlights PSG’s treble-winning core led by Ousmane Dembélé, the Champions League Player of the Season, and young star Désiré Doué, while new boss Thomas Frank takes charge of Tottenham competitively for the first time with lineup intrigue around his flexible setups, per UEFA. Luis Enrique told UEFA.com his side “accepts the demands of being champions of Europe” as they aim to add more silverware after the 5-0 final over Inter.

Transfer rumblings continue to ripple from that triumph: Football España reports PSG are open to moving Gianluigi Donnarumma amid contract tensions following the arrival of Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, with Manchester United linked now and Real Madrid monitoring a potential free next summer as they plan beyond Thibaut Courtois. Fox Sports’ European power rankings still have PSG pace-setting, with Liverpool and Arsenal close behind, and note Real Madrid’s reset under Xabi Alonso with Kylian Mbappé spearheading a star-studded squad after a rare trophyless year.
