Taariikhda guuldarrada Emery ee Super Cup
Emery wuxuu hore u guuldarraystay seddex koob oo isku xigta ee Super Cup, isagoo ka badiyay Real Madrid, Barcelona iyo Chelsea. Sanadkii 2015-kii waxaa Barcelona ku garaacday 5-4 kaxayntii dheeraadka ahayd, halka 2016-kii Cristiano Ronaldo uu laba gool dhaliyaal ku qaaday Real Madrid.
Emery wuxuu hore u ka tagay Sevilla oo u guuray PSG markii kooxdiisu 2016-kii u dhacday Real. Sanadkii 2021-kii wuxuu penaltiyo uga badiyay Chelsea oo ka dhacay Dublin isagoo Villarreal tababaray. Hadda wuxuu fursad u leeyahay inuu jebiyo guuldarradiisa.
Diyaar garowga Villa iyo isku dhafka PSG
Kulan ka dhaca Red Bull Arena ee Salzburg ayaa soo celinaya wareega afar-aad ee Champions League 2024-25. Villa waxay 3-1 ka dhacday Parc des Princes, laakiin 5-4 ayay isku darnaa Birmingham ka dib markay 3-2 ku badisay. 6,000 taagereyaasha Villa ayaa safray.
PSG waa kuwa loo aqoonsan yahay inay yihiin kuwa loogu dambeeyo. Vitinha wuxuu leeyahay: 'We're still hungry for victories, trophies'. PSG way ka xanaaqeen cabbirka qolka dharka oo UEFA siisay mid dheeraad ah. McGinn wuxuu yiri Emery wuu xusuustaa guuldaradii Chelsea.
Isbeddelka xilli ciyaareedka ee Villa
Morgan Rogers, Lucas Digne iyo Youri Tielemans waa laga iibiyay Villa. Amadou Onana wuu dhaawacmay ilaa sannadka soo socda, Kamara ayaa soo laabanaya jilib daran. Martinez, Konsa iyo Watkins ma safrin bil fasax ah.
Afar kaliya oo ka mid ah kuwii bilowga ahaa ayaa laga yaabaa inay bilaabaan, shan ka mid ah beddelayaashii horena ma sii joogaan. McGinn oo ah kabtan wuxuu yiri: 'I'm really excited about the new Aston Villa'.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa seek to end a three-match losing streak in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, hosting Champions League winners Paris St-Germain at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
A Historic Europa League Win Sets the Stage
Emery guided Villa to a fifth Europa League title in May, defeating Freiburg in Istanbul to end a 30-year trophy drought for the club. The achievement marked a defining moment in his eight-year tenure at the club, which also included finishing fourth in the Premier League last season. Despite the strong domestic campaign, the Super Cup remains the competition that has consistently eluded him.
The match against PSG in Salzburg represents another chance for Emery to add a major European trophy to his collection. The venue, Red Bull Arena, will host 6,000 Villa supporters who have travelled from England to support their team in Austria.
Three Straight Defeats Define Emery's Super Cup Record
Emery has lost three consecutive Super Cup matches, including a 5-4 extra-time defeat to Barcelona in 2015 and a penalty shootout loss to Chelsea in Dublin with Villarreal in 2021. His time at Sevilla also ended in heartbreak, as Real Madrid won the 2016 edition after Emery had already departed for Paris.
Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola hold the most Super Cup titles among active coaches, with five and four respectively. Ancelotti's third crown came when his Real Madrid side defeated Emery's Sevilla in 2014, adding to the manager's frustration with the competition.
PSG Favourites but Villa Bring a Cautionary Tale
PSG are considered the favourites for the Super Cup, with midfielder Vitinha noting that the team remains hungry for victories despite winning back-to-back Champions League titles. The squad's pre-season was described as short, and the team was reportedly unhappy with the size of their dressing room at Red Bull Arena, prompting UEFA to provide an additional one.
Wednesday's match is a repeat of the Champions League quarter-final from 2024-25, where Villa trailed 3-1 at home and 5-1 on aggregate before roaring back to win 3-2 in Birmingham. However, the squad has changed drastically since then, with key players sold or injured, leaving just four of the original starters likely to feature.
