Unhappy PSG given extra Super Cup dressing room
Champions League winners Paris St-Germain were unhappy with the space they were given at Red Bull Arena.
Paris St-Germain have been allocated an additional dressing room for the upcoming Super Cup match against Aston Villa, following their concerns expressed over the facilities provided at Red Bull Arena. The reigning Champions League holders were dissatisfied with their current arrangement, as they were assigned the away dressing room in Austria, while the home dressing room was allocated to Red Bull Salzburg.
At a pre-game meeting on Monday, PSG officials communicated their dissatisfaction to UEFA, expressing that their dressing room was too small, especially considering they are the reigning Super Cup champions. They desired a dressing room of equal size to Aston Villa's, as they had previously won the trophy last year by defeating Tottenham on penalties.
UEFA obliged, reallocating a spare dressing room, typically utilized by officials, to PSG to ensure they had a comparable space. No additional officials were assigned to Psg's dressing room. The PSG team will consist of 20 players, including notable signings like Bradley Barcola from Liverpool, Vitinha, and Lucas Digne, who recently transferred from Aston Villa.
The match against Villa is particularly significant as it follows their Champions League victory over Arsenal in May, while Aston Villa participates in their first Super Cup since 1982. Unai Emery guided PSG to their first Europa League title in 30 years, ending the club's trophy drought.
