Paris Saint-Germain are heading into a particularly busy week. After their summer preparations, the French champions will play two major competitive matches within just a few days: the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa on Wednesday, followed by the Trophée des Champions against RC Lens on Sunday.
PSG have released their full schedule for the period from August 10 to 16. Luis Enrique and his players will alternate between training sessions, travel and press conferences as they prepare for these two important fixtures. The week begins on Monday, August 10, with a closed-door training session at the PSG Campus at 11:00 a.m., giving the staff another opportunity to prepare for the Super Cup and assess the fitness of players who have recently returned from holiday.
Two Trophies on the Line for PSG
On Tuesday, August 11, PSG will travel to Salzburg and fully focus on the final. A Paris press conference is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Stadion Salzburg, followed by a training session at 5:45 p.m. that will be fully open to the media. This will be the team’s final rehearsal before Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa, which kicks off at 9:00 p.m. at Stadion Salzburg. After the match, Luis Enrique will speak at a press conference while the players will pass through the mixed zone.

PSG will return to their training centre on Thursday, August 13, for a closed-door session at 2:45 p.m., likely featuring recovery work for the starters and a more intensive programme for the other players. The squad will then have a full day off on Friday before returning to training on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. The opening 15 minutes of that session will be accessible to the media, with a press conference scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ahead of the trip to northern France.
The week will conclude with another trophy match on Sunday, August 16, as PSG travel to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to face RC Lens in the Trophée des Champions at 8:45 p.m. Luis Enrique will once again speak after the game, with a mixed zone also arranged for the players. In the space of just five days, PSG will therefore have the opportunity to compete for two trophies, in a week that could already set the tone for their season.
