Uefa Super Cup: Paris St-Germain get extra dressing room for Aston Villa match

Published

on

Paris St-Germain have been given an extra dressing room for the Super Cup – after making their pre-game frustrations clear.

The Champions League holders were unhappy with their facilities at Red Bull Arena before Wednesday’s Super Cup match with Europa League winners Aston Villa.

Unai Emery’s side are using Red Bull Salzburg’s home dressing room, leaving PSG with the away one in Austria.

But, at a pre-game meeting on Monday, PSG officials made Uefa aware they were not happy with the arrangements, feeling their dressing room was too small.

Sources told BBC Sport the French club wanted to be able to have the same size space as Villa, especially as they are the reigning Super Cup champions after beating Tottenham on penalties last year.

Uefa was able to allocate them a spare dressing room, normally used by the officials, to give them more space and the same as Villa. No officials were moved to accommodate Luis Enrique’s side.
