In what promises to be a thrilling curtain-raiser to the 2025/26 European football season, Paris Saint-Germain will clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, August 13, at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.

The stage was officially set following PSG’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, securing their maiden title and finally silencing critics who had long questioned their European pedigree.

Just days earlier, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side stunned Manchester United to win the Europa League, a monumental achievement that brought silverware back to North London after years of near misses.

While PSG enter the Super Cup with the flair and firepower of a star-studded squad including Kylian Mbappe, Vitinha, and Donnarumma, Spurs have become a well-drilled machine under Postecoglou, combining youthful exuberance with tactical discipline.

The clash is already being billed as "speed vs structure", a test of whether PSG’s dazzling offense can break down Spurs’ balanced, gritty unit.

🌍 Beyond the Super Cup: Global Commitments Await

PSG’s season won’t slow down after Udine. The newly-crowned European champions will head to the United States for the Club World Cup, where they’ll face Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders in the group stage.

The fixture pile-up is intense, but it could also be the stage where PSG cements a global football dynasty, should they rise to every challenge.

💭 Opinion: Can Spurs Spoil PSG’s Party?

While PSG may be favourites on paper, Tottenham has nothing to lose — and that’s dangerous. Their Europa League run proved they can go toe-to-toe with elite clubs, and the Super Cup provides a perfect opportunity to stake a claim as a European heavyweight.

If Postecoglou can guide his side to another upset, the narrative around Tottenham could change forever.
