Unhappy PSG given extra Super Cup dressing room

What the report says

Paris St-Germain were given an extra dressing room ahead of Wednesday’s Super Cup after objecting to the facilities at Red Bull Arena in Austria, according to Nile Post citing BBC Sport. The Champions League holders were due to use the away dressing room for the match against Europa League winners Aston Villa, while Villa were allocated the home dressing room used by Red Bull Salzburg.

The issue was raised by PSG officials at a pre-match meeting on Monday, when they told Uefa they felt the space provided was too small. Uefa then arranged for PSG to use a spare room normally reserved for officials, giving them more space without relocating any match officials. The adjustment was made after the French club reportedly wanted conditions similar to Aston Villa’s.

The article places the dispute in the wider context of a high-profile European fixture between two clubs with contrasting recent histories. PSG entered the match as reigning Super Cup champions after last year’s win on penalties against Tottenham, while Villa were appearing in the competition for the first time since 1982. For PSG, the matter was a practical pre-match concern rather than a sporting issue, but it underscored how tournament logistics can become a point of tension at major UEFA events.
