PSG chases fifth trophy of the year against Tottenham
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will look to add a fifth trophy to their collection this year as they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup tonight in Udine, Italy.
This clash pits the Champions League winners against the Europa League victors in what promises to be a thrilling start to the new season.
PSG is coming off a historic treble-winning campaign, having secured the Ligue 1 title, the French Cup, and their first-ever Champions League trophy.
They also added the Trophée des Champions in January. While their dream of a perfect seven-trophy year was dashed by a 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, a victory against Spurs would keep alive their ambition of matching the six-trophy hauls of elite clubs like Barcelona (2009) and Bayern Munich (2020).

Their 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final showcased their dominance, with the youngest starting lineup in the competition’s history. The squad features rising stars like Désiré Doué and João Neves, guided by experienced captain Marquinhos.
Ousmane Dembélé has been a standout performer, ending last season with 35 goals and 16 assists, earning him the Champions League Player of the Season award.
