Désir Doué struck the decisive blow as Paris Saint-Germain claimed the UEFA Super Cup with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, retaining the trophy they won last season as champions of Europe.

The 21-year-old burst in behind the Villa defence in the 61st minute to restore PSG's lead after the holders had been pegged back by a stunning debut goal from teenager Brian Madjo. It was an evening of drama, quality, and youthful brilliance from both sides.

Kvaratskhelia puts PSG in control

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute, cutting in from the left flank before wrong-footing Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot with a composed finish. The Georgian winger's opener gave Luis Enrique's side the platform they needed.

PSG looked comfortable — but Aston Villa were far from finished, and a teenager was about to steal the spotlight.

Madjo makes Super Cup history

Brian Madjo, just 17, became the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Super Cup history when he shrugged off a challenge from Willian Pacho and volleyed home on the stroke of half-time to level the match at 1-1. The debut goal brought the Villa end to life and sparked a pulsating second half.

Madjo had already gone close on three separate occasions — a header curling wide in the 28th minute, another shot whistling past the post in the 35th, and a close-range header that ballooned over the bar in the 41st — before he finally found the net.

Unai Emery's squad was without key senior figures Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa, and Emiliano Martinez, all still on extended post-World Cup breaks, yet the teenagers who stepped into the void were undaunted. Madjo and 19-year-old George Hemmings looked entirely at ease against world-class opposition.

Doué seals it for PSG

Désir Doué ended the contest in the 61st minute, racing onto a through ball and finishing coolly to put PSG back in front. Seconds later, Hemmings came agonisingly close to hauling Villa level, only for goalkeeper Matvey Safonov to produce a fine stop and deny him the equaliser.

PSG held on from there to claim the first silverware of the 2026/27 season. Yet the margin of victory flattered them slightly — Emery's new-look Villa side pressed and harried throughout, recalling the memorable 5-4 Champions League thriller between the two clubs in 2025.

Luis Enrique begins the new campaign with a trophy in hand, but this Aston Villa side — young, fearless, and hungry — served notice that they will not be a side anyone takes lightly this season.
