PSG Secures UEFA Super Cup with 2-1 Victory Over Aston Villa
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) claimed the UEFA Super Cup title with a 2-1 victory against Aston Villa in Salzburg, Austria, on August 12, 2026. This win allows PSG to join AC Milan and Real Madrid as the only teams to successfully defend the trophy.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the 20th minute with a powerful strike, but Aston Villa's Brian Madjo equalized just before halftime. Desire Doué restored PSG's lead in the 61st minute, and despite Villa's efforts, they could not level the match again.
PSG's manager Luis Enrique fielded a strong lineup, featuring nine players from the Champions League-winning squad. The match was officiated by Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who had been barred from participating in the World Cup. This victory marks Enrique's 13th trophy with PSG since his appointment in 2023.
