PSG v Tottenham: all you need to know about the 2025 UEFA Super Cup 🏆
PSG v Tottenham: all you need to know about the 2025 UEFA Super Cup 🏆 The 2025/26 European season now knows how it will begin! Paris Saint-Germain, Champions League winners, and Tottenham Hotspur, Europa League champions, will face off in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup on August 13, a Wednesday, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). Advertisement The stage for the showdown will be the Stadio Friuli, home of Udinese, in Udine, Italy. The match, which brings together the two continental champions, will go straight to penalties, with no extra time, in the event of a draw in regular time. This will be the 13th edition of the Super Cup held outside Monaco, since the game left its former fixed venue in 2013. Since then, the final has been played in cities such as Prague, Cardiff, Tbilisi, Helsinki, and Warsaw. In the most recent edition, in 2024, Real Madrid beat Atalanta 2-0, with goals from Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappé. The Stadio Friuli, home of Udinese and former club of Zico in Italy, has already hosted the final of the 2019 U21 European Championship and will now be the center of attention in European football once again. Advertisement Created by Dutch journalist Anton Witkamp, the UEFA Super Cup brings together the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League, with the aim of determining the best team on the continent for the season. Paris arrives at the Super Cup after finally winning the biggest tournament in Europe. Ironically, the UCL trophy came in the very year that Qatar Sports Investments – the Qatari investment fund that controls the club – did not bet on superstars. On the other side, Tottenham comes in on a high after the biggest achievement in its history, the UEFA Europa League, which also ended a 16-year drought without official titles.

How to watch Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United: TV channel and live stream for Europa League today
Manchester United face Athletic Bilbao in their Europa League semi-final first leg tonight. Man Utd - despite their awful Premier League form - are the only unbeaten team in European competition this season, but that record will surely be put to the test against the LaLiga outfit. It can be argued there is slightly more pressure, at least in the first leg, on Bilbao as the final later this month is being held in their own stadium - San Mames - and Nico Williams spoke yesterday about the honour such an occasion would bring. Of the two teams, Bilbao are in better form. Their only defeat in their last 10 games across all competitions was away at Real Madrid and it took an injury-time goal from Federico Valverde to break their resistance. Having said that, the Red Devils know winning the Europa League is their only route back into Europe next season and proved against Lyon in the quarter-final that they've got the character to go all the way. Here's everything you need to know about where to watch... TV channel: In the UK, the game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1. Coverage starts at 7pm BST ahead of an 8pm kick-off. Live stream: Fans can catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website. Live blog: You can follow all the action with Standard Sport's LIVE blog!

Boss hails Madrid response to Champions League exit
Carlo Ancelotti praised Real Madrid's character after their hard-fought 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, keeping their La Liga title hopes alive while responding in the best possible way to their Champions League exit. A late winner from Federico Valverde prevented the reigning Spanish champions from slipping further behind in the league title race, moving them to 69 points in second place, four points behind leaders Barcelona. "The team did well. We were a bit slower in the first half, but in the second half we did very well in every aspect," Ancelotti said. "We wanted to win, to bounce back after being knocked out of the Champions League." Real lacked a spark in the opening half but looked better after the break, with midfielder Jude Bellingham playing as a false nine. Winger Vinicius Jr had a goal disallowed late in the second half and led the attack in the absence of the suspended Kylian Mbappe. REUTERS

Valverde's late strike earns Real win over Athletic to keep title hopes alive
MADRID, April 20 (Reuters) - Real Madrid's Federico Valverde netted a superb late volley to secure a 1-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday that keeps them within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona. Real bounced back after their midweek Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal to move up to 69 points, six clear of third-placed Atletico Madrid, who suffered a shock 1-0 loss at Las Palmas on Saturday. A heavily rotated Athletic side had kept the hosts at bay until Valverde scored the winner three minutes into stoppage time, pouncing on a poor clearance to fire a volley into the far top corner. "Fede has a very unusual shot, a very good one," Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said. "Yesterday in training he kicked a ball that looked like it was going wide and suddenly it took a spin and you think... How did you kick that? It's very sharp, fast and powerful. "In training he easily does one or two like that a week. We've been telling him for years: 'shoot, shoot'." Vinicius Junior thought he had handed Real the lead with a low shot, but the 79th-minute effort was disallowed by the VAR for an Endrick offside in the build up. After an uneventful first half, Jude Bellingham had Real's first clear scoring chance with a close-range header, but goalkeeper Unai Simon made a brilliant save on the hour mark to keep the scores level. Fresh off reaching the Europa League semi-finals, Athletic stayed disciplined in defence, frustrating Real for much of the match, but failing to create scoring chances of their own. Athletic's resistance finally broke and the late defeat leaves them fourth in the standings with 57 points. "We played well, we defended until the end, but we know what Real Madrid are like at the Bernabeu," Athletic's Alex Berenguer told LaLiga TV. "I think the team responded well. Whoever plays, we do well, but they are a great team and they get you into the box and it's difficult."
