Paris St-Germain won the Super Cup for the first time in their history last year
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.
PSG have travelled with a squad of 20 players, including Liverpool target Bradley Barcola, midfielder Vitinha and left-back Lucas Digne – who joined from Villa on Sunday.
They face Villa after defending their Champions League crown with victory over Arsenal in May, while Villa go into their first Super Cup since 1982.
Emery ended the club’s 30-year trophy drought when they beat Freiburg in Istanbul to win the Europa League. (BBC)
