Aston Villa faces PSG in Super Cup with manager Unai Emery seeking first title

Aston Villa competes in the Super Cup on August 12, facing Champions League winners Paris St-Germain in Salzburg. Manager Unai Emery seeks to claim the title after three previous final defeats in the competition, including two with Sevilla and one with Villarreal. Villa won their first trophy in 30 years under Emery last May in the Europa League. Despite significant squad changes and absences, including injuries, Villa approaches the match with the opportunity to prove themselves against European elite. PSG players recognize Villa's improvement since their last encounter in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2024-25, where Villa almost mounted a historic comeback.
