This year's UEFA Super Cup will feature a clash between two massive European sides this week as Tottenham Hotspur lock horns with Luis Enrique's impressive Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) side at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine on Wednesday. Both teams have world-class players in their ranks and will be determined to lay their hands on the trophy.
PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Tottenham Hotspur finished in 17th place in the Premier League standings last season and have not been at their best over the past year. The north London outfit slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in a friendly over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
PSG, on the other hand, won Ligue 1 last season and also won the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. The Parisian giants slumped to a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final last month and have a point to prove this week.
