The sixth time! Enrique avoids punishment, Neves confirms suspension, Paris challenges Premier League big goal again

The 2025 European Super Cup will be staged soon. Last season's Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain will face the UEFA Champions League champion Tottenham Hotspur, and it is also the sixth time that Paris has met the Premier League giant team this year. Neves, who received a red card in the Club World Cup final, was confirmed to be suspended and could not participate in the European Super League. When the European Super Cup was founded, it was the champion of the European Champions League and the European Winners Cup, and held a strong dialogue in the next season. Later, the Cup of Winners was cancelled and changed to the UEFA Cup champion, and then became the renamed UEFA Cup, which has been used to this day. At the same time, the European Super League Cup has also changed from a two-round system at home and away to a single-game winning system held in Monaco, and later changed to a rotation in various countries.

This year's European Super Cup was played in Udinese in Italy, which is the home court of Serie A powerhouse Udinese. Since Zenit defeated Manchester United 17 years ago and won the European Super Cup, only Atletico Madrid defeated Inter Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid respectively, winning the European Super Cup three times, and the rest of the championships belong to the Champions League. If Tottenham can defeat Paris, it will be another situation of losing the Champions League championship after 7 years.

Last season, the three major European Cups underwent major changes in the competition system, and no team will be reduced from the Champions League to the Europa League in the main stage. Therefore, the two Premier League giants, Tottenham and Manchester United, became the biggest favorites in the Europa League, and the two teams also made it to the final as they wished. Tottenham finally won the championship and also qualified for the Champions League.

Although Tottenham is hailed as the traditional top six of the Premier League, the UEFA Champion is the team's first trophy in 18 years. Even if it has Bale and Kane and other famous players, this North London team has never been able to laugh until the end. It is already the best result to lose to Liverpool in the Champions League final 7 years ago. After winning the European championship, Son Heung-min can finally leave the team with the championship trophy, and coach Postkoglu cannot stay in the team by winning the championship. After Frank took over the position of head coach, his first game was in the European Super Cup, facing European champions Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham began to enter an era without Kane and Son Heung-min.

Paris Saint-Germain is very interesting. In the Champions League knockout last season, in the last 16, the last 8 and the last 4 stages, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in succession, plus the penultimate round of the round-robin match, Paris defeated the Premier League giants four times, and with his own strength, he blocked the progress of Premier League teams.

In the subsequent Club World Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain faced the Premier League team for the fifth time, but the result was quite surprising. Paris defeated Chelsea with three goals, which seemed incredible just like the results of the Champions League final. This time, it is Tottenham Hotspur's turn. Paris will challenge the Premier League giants for the sixth time this year, and it may no longer be explained by fate.

UEFA announced that 6,600 tickets were sold to French fans in this game and 4,700 tickets were sold to English fans. The remaining half was for neutral fans, and the entire stadium could accommodate 23,000 spectators. In order to ensure the safety of the game, the local area has evaluated the game as high risk and has dispatched various security forces to maintain order.

For Paris, the aftermath of the Club World Cup is not over yet. After the final, the scene of coach Enrique pushing his opponent was thought to be punished, but a whole month has passed, and no relevant investigation procedures have been initiated. Perhaps, the story will be left unresolved and ended like this, Enrique avoided the punishment.

However, in the game against Chelsea, Neves, who received a red card, believes that he will not accept suspension in European games. According to UEFA's official starting forecast, it is clearly stated that Neves needs to be suspended. Therefore, this excellent Portuguese midfielder is expected to be unable to participate in the European Super Cup, and Paris's strength has been affected to a certain extent.

Many people think that when there are three major competitions in Europe, the European Super Cup can also change with the trend. The champions of the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League will first have a duel, and the winner will win the Champions League champion. After all, in terms of strength, Chelsea may be more suitable to be an opponent in the European Super Cup than Tottenham.

Of course, when Chelsea had met Paris in the Club World Cup, such regrets would no longer exist. After Paris Saint-Germain lost to the UEFA Champions League, can it win against the UEFA Champions League?
