Paris Saint‑Germain head coach Luis Enrique, ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham, said he sees the match as an important start to the new season. The match takes place today, August 13, at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy. The referee appointed is Portuguese Joao Pedro Pinheiro.
Luis Enrique in an interview with UEFA's official site
The final is a big event, an important stage. We are looking forward to our first match with Tottenham. I don't know what plan the opponent will have. They’ve just changed coaches, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. They’ve had a month of training and we’ve only had a week. That’s not an excuse, of course!
Recall that PSG won the Champions League in June, while Tottenham won the Europa League. The Londoners are approaching the match without a permanently chosen captain — manager Thomas Frank is expected to name him only on the day of the game.
