The Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, will host the European Super Cup match between Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain and Europa League winners Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.
Some may ask how the match is decided if it ends in a draw after regular time: do the two teams play extra time or do they go directly to penalty kicks?
According to UEFA regulations, the European Super Cup does not include any extra time.
If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, penalty kicks will be used directly to determine the champion.
This rule has been in place for several years, and the previous edition saw the title decided in the same way, when Paris Saint-Germain won the championship at the expense of Tottenham after a draw in regular time.
Therefore, if the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa ends in a draw, the game will not extend to 120 minutes, but penalty kicks will decide the title directly.
