SALZBURG, Austria - Following their Champions League victories in the past two seasons, PSG has started strong by conquering the UEFA Super Cup, defeating Aston Villa 2-1. For Luis Enrique, it's another triumph and another back-to-back win, this time against Unai Emery, the Europa League king, who had to bow before the two-time European champions. This winning streak in continental competition knows no bounds for the Parisians, who were led against the Villains by goals from Kvaratskhelia and Doué. It was not an easy match for PSG, with Aston Villa managing to equalize through the 17-year-old Madjo, but they lacked the hunger to convert numerous other chances created during the game.

Madjo, the 2009-born talent, answers Kvara

In the 13th minute, the first attempt came from the English side, with Kamara shooting from the edge of the box and narrowly missing the post to Safonov's left. Then, PSG ignited, and a powerful strike from Kvaratskhelia, from the Georgian talent's favored spot, found its way past Bizot for the 1-0 lead for Paris. The Villains reacted by relying on their youngest player, the 2009-born Madjo, who initially created four chances, spectacularly missing two headers, hitting the post with another, and lacking precision in a curling shot. However, in the 46th minute, before halftime, he struck: a cross from the right, Madjo won the physical duel with Pacho, and found the touch that leveled the score.

Doué, PSG are Champions

At the start of the second half, McGinn created the first scare for Safonov, but in the 62nd minute, PSG regained the lead: a through ball for Doué, who was kept onside by Cash, presented himself one-on-one with Bizot and did not miss. A VAR check confirmed the 2-1 advantage for the French team. Aston Villa pushed forward with many good intentions to equalize again, but the Claret & Blue never managed to find the decisive spark, even in the final onslaught. Another back-to-back achievement for Luis Enrique, who confirms his European dominance at the start of the 26-27 season.
