Paris Saint-Germain are back-to-back UEFA Super Cup champions after defeating Aston Villa 2-1 on Wednesday, with Désiré Doué's second-half strike proving the decisive moment in European football's traditional season opener.

Doué's goal turned the match in PSG's favour after what had been a closely contested encounter, handing the French giants a second consecutive Super Cup triumph and underlining their ambitions heading into the new European campaign.

It is the second straight year that PSG have lifted the trophy, cementing their status as a dominant force in continental competition as the continent's elite clubs prepare for another season of UEFA action.
