The French champions beat Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL final, while the North London club toppled Manchester United 1-0.
Osimhen speaks about UEFA Super Cup final
Galatasaray players, after their training session at the Florya Oktay Metin facilities this morning, were asked to name who they will support in tonight's final.
Former PSG star Mauro Icardi supported his former team, while Lucas Torreira, Leroy Sane, Abdulkerim Bardakci, Gunay Guvenc, Nicolo Zaniolo, Roland Sallai and Yusuf Demir also backed the Parisians.
Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen gave a rather funny reaction before diplomatically dodging the question.
“Nah, I have friends in both teams, good luck to the winner,” he said.
Osimhen missed Galatasaray's win over Gaziantep in the opening match of the Turkish Super League season, but is in line to make his second debut against Fatih Karagumruk.
Supercomputer predicts UEFA Super Cup winner
According to Opta Analyst, a supercomputer has predicted the winner of the UEFA Super Cup final after simulating the match 10,000 times.
Paris Saint-Germain are backed by their form and history to win the match tonight with a 62.4% chance, while Spurs have an 18.3% chance, and the match has a 19.3% chance of ending in a draw.
11 of the last 12 Super Cup finals have been won by Champions League winners, with Real Madrid in 2018 the only side to lose to rivals Atletico Madrid.
Tottenham have a North London curse hanging over them. Six of the previous seven English teams have won on their first attempt; only Arsenal have lost their first game.
The two sides have not met in a competitive match, but their last season's form could have a say. PSG have won 34 games in 2025, more than any other European side, while Tottenham have lost 16 matches, more than any other English side.

UEFA plans to expand Super Cup
Since the inception of the Conference League in 2021, football fans have been clamouring for the expansion of the Super Cup final to feature all three winners.
According to The Telegraph, UEFA have previously discussed the idea, but dropped it after European broadcasters were not open to backing it financially.
It will reportedly be a four-team mini tournament, but it has yet to be determined which teams will participate and how they will participate, and it could be hosted in the USA or the Middle East.
Galatasaray manager explained Osimhen's absence
Legit.ng previously reported that Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk explained Osimhen’s absence from the travelling squad for their 3-0 win at Gaziantep.
The manager confirmed that the striker missed the Turkish Super League champions title defence opening game, as he only had a few days of training after his move.
