Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doué helped Paris St Germain to retain the UEFA Super Cup with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Wednesday (August 12, 2026).
Madjo, signed from Metz in January but only cleared to play last week after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Villa’s appeal against a FIFA ruling, became the youngest-ever UEFA Super Cup scorer with his equaliser. PSG, back-to-back Champions League winners, went in front in the 20th minute through a stunning strike from Kvaratskhelia before Brian Madjo equalised on the stroke of halftime. Doue put the French side back in front in the 61st minute, and Europa League winners Villa were unable to pull themselves level a second time in a game refereed by Somalian Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was unable to take part in the World Cup after he was denied entry to the United States. Luis Enrique replaced new signing Maghnes Akliouche with Ousmane Dembele at the start of the second half, but it was Villa who created the first chance with McGinn’s shot from the edge of the area parried away by Matvey Safonov. Doue’s winner came when he raced onto a through ball from Dembele and curled his shot into the far corner, and although the offside flag went up, a VAR check awarded the goal.
