Which club did Paris Saint-Germain defeat in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup before returning in 2026?
Answer
Tottenham Hotspur
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup before returning in 2026.
The 2025 final was played in Udine and ended 2–2 after extra time, with Paris winning the penalty shoot-out 4–3. That result gave Paris its first UEFA Super Cup title and set up its return as defending champion.
In 2026, Paris faced a different English club, Aston Villa, because Villa had won the Europa League while Paris had won the Champions League. Paris then won the new final 2–1 in Salzburg.
The distinction matters because Tottenham was Paris’s 2025 opponent, not its 2026 opponent. The two finals were consecutive editions but involved different English challengers.
