PSG 0-0 Tottenham
It's very hot in the stadium, with temperatures still above 30 degrees Celsius at kick-off.
Spurs come straight back out of the blocks to press high.
They win the ball back quickly and then win a throw-in that sees Kevin Danso launch a long, looping throw into the box.
It seems Thomas Frank has brought a new tactic with him to the club and it may be a real asset this season.
CHANCE! PSG 0-0 Tottenham
Mohammed Kudus brilliantly breaks away and slides his striker partner Richarlison through on the edge.
The Brazilian fires a powerful effort away, but PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier gets a strong palm on it and saves.
Rodrigo Bentancur then heads over the bar from the corner.
Spurs have been impressive so far.
Andy Townsend live on talkSPORT: "It's quite noticeable that PSG are quite behind Spurs with the legwork."
'We want to do it again'
Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario and Ben Davies are hopeful of winning a second trophy in a matter of months tonight.
Spurs hadn't won silverware in 17 years until they lifted the Europa League and now they have the Super Cup to play for.
Vicario said: "We set the tone. We want to do it again.
"We tasted the feeling and we want to taste it again. We have an opportunity tonight. We are here because we earned the right to play against PSG. It's up to us to believe.
"We can set the tone again if we want to be successful."
Davies added: "Once you get that initial feeling, you get the desire and hunger within the group that wants to do it again.
"We had our time on enjoying the result last season.
“Everyone’s focus is on the number of competitions we are in and trophies, and that starts tonight."
Up for the Super Cup
PSG's fans are creating a brilliant atmosphere in Italy.
They've been bouncing together well ahead of kick-off.
There are plenty of Spurs supporters in attendance too, as they hope to be celebrating another trophy later this evening.
We're moving closer to the Super Cup getting underway.

Unpredictable
PSG boss Luis Enrique doesn't know what to expect from Thomas Frank's Tottenham this evening.
Spurs have had the summer off and have played more pre-season games than PSG, who had to play in the Club World Cup.
That and the fact that they have a new manager makes things hard to predict heading into the Super Cup for Enrique.
"It's difficult because they recently changed their manager," he said when discussing the threat of Spurs.
"Some new players - they played a few friendly matches before [the Super Cup].
"I don't know what kind of game they are going to plan.
"It's going to be difficult because they have been training for the last month and we are in our first week but it is not an excuse.
"We are going to try and compete and do our best."
'It's impossible'
Thomas Frank has been asked how his Tottenham side plan to stop PSG's superstar winger Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.
"I could say a few things but I’m probably not allowed to just kick him down," Frank joked when speaking ahead of the game.
“He is a special player, a unique talent. The way he drives with the ball and his one-on-one skills are exceptional.
“I followed him for quite a while, both in Naples and with the national team, now PSG.
“But with all due respect, he is just a human, a very good player, but we have good defenders and a good plan.
“I’m comfortable we can keep him quiet enough. It is impossible to keep him totally quiet."
Another absentee
PSG also have a standout absence in their line-up tonight.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma did not travel to Italy for the Super Cup after being told he had lost his starting spot.
Donnarumma is now expected to leave the French giants, with interest coming from Manchester City.
The Italian shotstopper released an emotional statement yesterday, saying goodbye to the PSG fans.
"To the special Paris fans," Donnarumma said. "From the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain.
"Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened.
"I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done.
"If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it. I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights, and of you, who made me feel at home.
"To my teammates – my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers.
"Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris."
Where's Bissouma?
You may have noticed that Yves Bissouma is nowhere to be seen in the Tottenham squad this evening.
And that's because Thomas Frank left the midfielder at home due to disciplinary reasons.
Frank explained in the build-up to this game: "He has been late several times and the latest time was one too many.
“With everything you need to give your players a lot of love, but also have demands and there also needs to be consequences, and this time there was a consequence for that."
He added: "For me there has been, how can I say it, a consequence for this trip and then I will follow up when I come home.
“I will park it now because there is a relatively important game.”
Team news!
The teams are in for the UEFA Super Cup!
It appears that Thomas Frank is starting with a five-at-the-back formation, with Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Kevin Danso all starting this evening.
Spurs have summer signing Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison leading the line, with Dominic Solanke returning to fitness.
James Maddison is out after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season.
As for PSG, they've named a very strong side, with Ousmane Dembele, Kvicha Kvaratskhelhia and Desire Doue starting.
Bradley Barcola is in the line-up too, as Luis Enrique goes with an attacking set-up in this big game.
PSG XI: Chevalier, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Doue, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia Dembele.
Subs: Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Ruiz, Ramos, Lee, Hernandez, Kamara, Mbaye.
Tottenham XI: Vicario, Porro, Danso, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Palhinha, Sarr, Bentancur, Kudus, Richarlison.
Subs: Kinsky, Austin, Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Solanke, Johnson, Odobert, Davies, Byfield, Vuskovic.
Time for a change?
Could this be the last Super Cup played between two teams?
The Telegraph have reported that the competition could potentially become a four-team tournament.
It is usually played between the Champions League and Europa League winners, but UEFA are now looking at expanding things.
The format would change to semi-finals and a final rather than a one-off fixture.
There has been no further detail as to which other teams would qualify on top of the two European champions that feature.
On top of the number of clubs taking part changing, there could also be a unique location in store for the competition.
It could be held overseas next season, with the USA or the Middle East reported as likely destinations.
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to talkSPORT's live coverage of the UEFA Super Cup between PSG and Tottenham!
The Super Cup is a one-off match held every year between the Champions League and Europa League winners.
PSG are going to fancy their chances coming off the back of a treble-winning campaign that was topped off by their European success.
Luis Enrique’s side come up against Premier League opposition who, since winning their first major trophy in 17 years, have changed manager.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs departure opened the door for Thomas Frank to take the hot seat, and a win in this game would be a perfect way to start his tenure.
