UEFA Super Cup 2025: PSG and Tottenham ready for Brazilian clash in Warsaw
The 2025 UEFA Super Cup will bring together Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur in a high-profile clash that also promises a captivating Brazilian duel. Champions League winners PSG and Europa League holders Tottenham will meet at Warsaw’s National Stadium in mid-August, with the match expected to take place between August 13 and 14.
Beyond the battle for the European trophy, the match offers a unique showcase for Brazilian talent, with four players from the South American nation set to feature prominently across both squads.
Brazilians in the Spotlight
PSG’s contingent includes captain Marquinhos, an experienced 31-year-old central defender; Lucas Beraldo, a 21-year-old emerging talent in the same role; and 19-year-old goalkeeper Renato Marin, a dual citizen of Brazil and Italy who is already turning heads in European football.
Tottenham’s Brazilian presence will be led by forward Richarlison, the 28-year-old attacker aiming to make his mark on one of the continent’s biggest stages.
Ancelotti’s Watchful Eye Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Adding to the intrigue, Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti appointed in May 2025 will be closely monitoring the match. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, the Italian is using this opportunity to evaluate potential call-ups. Richarlison, already part of Ancelotti’s first squad, remains a key figure in his plans.
Marquinhos and Beraldo are regular selections for Brazil’s defensive line, while Marin will be hoping to use the Super Cup as a platform to break into the senior national team. A standout performance in Warsaw could significantly boost his chances.
A Match With More Than Silverware at Stake
While the UEFA Super Cup is traditionally a curtain-raiser for the new European season, this year’s edition carries extra weight for Brazilian football. For Ancelotti, it is both a scouting mission and a chance to assess how his potential World Cup players perform under pressure against elite opposition.
With star names, national pride, and a prestigious trophy on the line, PSG vs. Tottenham in Warsaw is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated fixtures of the summer.
