PSG Retain UEFA Super Cup With VAR-Confirmed 2-1 Win Over Aston Villa

The victory cements PSG's place among Europe's elite by delivering back-to-back Super Cup titles.

Overview

  • Paris Saint-Germain beat Aston Villa 2-1 in Salzburg to retain the UEFA Super Cup with Desire Doue scoring the decisive goal.
  • Desire Doue supplied an assist and finished the match-winner after a VAR review overturned an initial offside call that showed Villa right-back Matty Cash kept Doue onside.
  • Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG and goalkeeper Matvey Safonov made several key saves that helped preserve the lead.
  • Seventeen-year-old Brian Madjo equalised on his competitive debut for Aston Villa and became the youngest scorer in Super Cup history.
  • The win extends Luis Enrique's strong finals record and puts PSG among only three clubs to win consecutive Super Cups as the team turns its focus to domestic trophies.
