Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa meet today, Wednesday, August 12, 2026, in the UEFA Super Cup Final, with one trophy on the line.
Unlike a league match or two-legged European knockout tie, the UEFA Super Cup is decided in a single match. That makes the scenarios for PSG straightforward: win and lift the trophy, lose and Aston Villa are champions, while a tie after 90 minutes means the match must continue until a winner is determined.
Here is what happens if PSG win, tie or lose against Aston Villa today.
What Happens if PSG Beat Aston Villa?
If PSG win the match, Paris Saint-Germain will be crowned 2026 UEFA Super Cup champions.
There are no points or aggregate scores to consider. A PSG victory means the French club immediately claims the trophy and adds another major European honor to its collection.
PSG qualified for the Super Cup as the UEFA Champions League winners, giving the club an opportunity to turn its European success into another trophy.
What Happens if PSG and Aston Villa Tie?
If PSG and Aston Villa are tied after 90 minutes, neither team wins the trophy based on the regulation-time result.
Because the UEFA Super Cup is a final, there must be a winner.
The match would continue according to the competition’s tiebreaking procedure. If the teams remain level after the additional period of play, the champion would ultimately be determined by a penalty shootout.
That means a draw after 90 minutes does not eliminate PSG or Aston Villa. It simply means the final continues until a champion is decided.
What Happens if PSG Lose to Aston Villa?
If PSG lose, Aston Villa will be crowned UEFA Super Cup champions.
There is no second leg and no opportunity for PSG to overturn the result at a later date. The Super Cup is a one-game final, so the losing team finishes as runner-up.
