巴黎圣日耳曼将于周三在奥地利萨尔茨堡的Red Bull Arena与阿斯顿维拉争夺欧足联超级杯，这是PSG本赛季争夺六项荣誉中的首个[1]。比赛将在当地时间晚上9点进行[1]，由索马里籍裁判Omar Artan执法[1]。
PSG对这一荣誉已不陌生，他们去年曾通过点球大战战胜热刺赢得超级杯[1]。与此相比，维拉对该杯赛的渴望更加迫切——球队上次赢得超级杯已是1983年，当时他们击败了巴塞罗那[1]。本赛季对PSG而言意义重大，首要目标是实现第三次连续获得欧冠冠军[1]。
维拉在人员方面面临挑战，新援Johan Manzambi因膝伤缺阵，而Emi Martinez、Ollie Watkins和Ezri Konsa等球员尚未完全恢复训练[1]。PSG方面则需决定是否启用周一才返回训练的Ousmane Dembélé、Désiré Doué、Bradley Barcola和Fabián Ruiz[1]。
Paris Saint-Germain will contest the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in Salzburg, Austria, as the French champions begin their pursuit of six possible trophies this season [1]. The match at Red Bull Arena is scheduled for 9 p.m. local time, with Omar Artan of Somalia as the designated referee [1].
PSG enters the encounter as the defending Super Cup champion, having defeated Tottenham on penalties last year [1]. For Villa, victory would represent their first Super Cup triumph since 1983, when they defeated Barcelona [1]. The club will be without new signing Johan Manzambi due to a knee injury, while goalkeeper Emi Martinez, forward Ollie Watkins, and defender Ezri Konsa are not yet fully recovered to training [1]. PSG, meanwhile, may need to assess the readiness of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Fabián Ruiz, who only returned to training on Monday [1]. Capturing the Super Cup would mark the opening chapter of PSG's campaign to claim their third consecutive Champions League title among the six trophies in their sights this season [1].
