Just released the European throne, the Paris SG does not want to share power with Tottenham, which will challenge you on Wednesday in Udine in the European Super Cup, a minor tournament, but which brings prestige to the winner.
All the great clubs on the continent have it in their showcase: Real Madrid (record with 6 titles), Barcelona, Milan, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Juventus, Manchester United.
The ambitious French champion wants to copy Manchester City, the other “new rich” of European football that was proclaimed super -champion in 2023.
The PSG already played this Super Cup, which traditionally gives the initial gun to the new European season, in 1996, then as champion of the Recopa, but the team that then led Rai fell thrashed 6-1 by Juventus de Zidane, of the Piero and Didier Deschamps.
A dominant team
“We are alone in the beginning, in the first steps of a team that wants to be dominant” in Europe, Luis Enrique launched in June, remembering supremacies of the past such as those of Real Madrid in the 1960s or more recently with Zinedine Zidane, the Barcelona of Guardiola and Messi, the Milan of Arrigo Sacchi or the Ajax of Johan Cruyff.
But exercising absolute power in current football is very complicated, as already in charge of remembering Chelsea to the PSG winning 3-0 the final of the Club World Cup last July.
That defeat “is good for us for the next season, to continue humble,” said Parisian President Nasser Al-Khelaifi after losing the world crown.
The objective is at the height of the ambition of the PSG and a Luis Enrique who knows that a title just starting can be the best stimulating for his players for the new season.
After the successes of the last year, Luis Enrique maintains the team's backbone, with two reinforcements: goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who could debut on Wednesday, and the Ukrainian defense Illia Zabarnyi, formalized this Tuesday and has not been summoned.

Donnarumma por knight
The arrival of the Bleus goalkeeper is the almost safe march of the Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was one of those highlighted in the European coronation and who has no longer entered the call of Luis Enrique to travel to Italy.
The rest will not change much about the dominating team last year.
Without reaching the waste of other greats from English football, Tottenham has spent about 170 million dollars to forget the disastrous last season, in which the Spurs remained in the 17th position of the Premier League, the last before the three relegation positions.
The victory in the Europa League, the first title of the Londoners from the League Cup in 2008, was the only joy for the Spurs, which thanks to it will play the Super Cup and the next Champions League.
Relay at the Bank of the Spurs
That title did not stop the goodbye of coach Ange Postecoglou, replaced on the bench by Danish Thomas Frank, who took the Premier League to the modest Brentford in 2021 and kept him in the elite since then.
To the march of Harry Kane in the summer of 2024 towards Munich, the recent goodbye of the South Korean are Heung-Min, the other great reference of the Spurs in the last decade.
The Ghanaian striker Mohammed Kudus is the great bet of the Spurs for the new season, and together with Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha will try to revitalize a team now led by South American stars such as Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and Cristian Romero.
A victory against the PSG would give an important push to the Spurs in order to face the new season.
