Paris Saint-Germain will take on Tottenham Hotspur in this year’s UEFA Super Cup, following their dominant 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday. Tottenham, who secured the Europa League title after beating Manchester United 1-0 last Wednesday under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership, will face the Ligue 1 giants on Wednesday, August 13, at Stadio Fruili in Udine, Italy. The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with PSG looking to continue their impressive form after winning the Champions League title. Tottenham, on the other hand, will aim to cause an upset against the European champions. PSG’s victory in the Champions League final sets up a busy schedule for the team, with their next challenge being the Club World Cup in the United States next month. They will face Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders in the group stage of the competition. TalkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino believes Tottenham needs significant squad improvements to challenge PSG in the Super Cup. “I think Spurs need a few signings,” Cascarino said. “It’s going to be big for them, and they’ve witnessed PSG’s exceptional performance last night, which shows they’re going to be seriously dangerous.” Cascarino also praised PSG’s work rate, saying, “I can’t remember a team that works so hard as they do.” The UEFA Super Cup will be a great opportunity for both teams to kick-start their season with a trophy. However, PSG might face fatigue after participating in the Club World Cup, which could potentially give Tottenham an edge. According to FIFA rules, PSG players would be entitled to at least three weeks of rest after the tournament, which could impact their preparation for the Super Cup.
