Paris St-Germain secured extra locker room access ahead of the Super Cup after expressing dissatisfaction with their initial setup at Red Bull Arena. The reigning Champions League titleholders voiced concerns during a Monday meeting, labeling the allocated away dressing room as inadequate for their needs. PSG officials argued that, as the current Super Cup winners following last year’s victory against Tottenham, they deserved space comparable to their opponents, Aston Villa.
To resolve the issue, Uefa designated an additional room, previously utilized by match officials, for the French club to use. No officials were displaced by this change. Luis Enrique has brought a 20-man squad to Austria, featuring notable players such as Bradley Barcola, Vitinha, and recent arrival Lucas Digne, who transferred from Aston Villa just days prior. The match marks a significant encounter, as Unai Emery leads Villa into their first Super Cup appearance since 1982, following a Europa League win that ended the club’s three-decade wait for a trophy.
