Paris St-Germain begin their campaign against Aston Villa in the Uefa Super Cup aiming to extend an unprecedented run of success. Having won the past two Champions Leagues, they could become only the second team to claim three consecutive titles, matching Real Madrid’s 2016-18 achievement, while also pursuing an unmatched six-trophy season.

PSG will compete in six competitions, including Ligue 1, the Champions League and three one-off finals, after winning five trophies last season. Their preparations may be affected by 16 players’ World Cup involvement and a short break before the Super Cup, though most of the core squad remains intact; new arrivals include Maghnes Akliouche, Lucas Digne and goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni.
