Aston Villa face Paris Saint-Germain today, Wednesday, August 12, 2026, in the UEFA Super Cup Final, with a European trophy on the line.
Unlike a league match or a two-legged European knockout tie, the UEFA Super Cup is decided in a single match. That makes the scenarios for Aston Villa simple: win and lift the trophy, lose and PSG become champions, while a tie after 90 minutes means the final must continue until a winner is determined.
Here is what happens if Aston Villa win, tie or lose against PSG today.
What Happens if Aston Villa Beat PSG?

What Happens if Aston Villa and PSG Tie?
If Aston Villa and PSG are tied after 90 minutes, the trophy will not be shared.

A tie after regulation therefore does not mean Aston Villa lose. Villa would still have an opportunity to defeat PSG and lift the trophy.
What Happens if Aston Villa Lose to PSG?
If Aston Villa lose, PSG will be crowned 2026 UEFA Super Cup champions.
