Paris St. Germain secured their second consecutive UEFA Super Cup title, overcoming Aston Villa 2-1 in a match played in Salzburg. The French champions, who also recently clinched the Champions League, extended their dominance in European club football.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the 20th minute with a spectacular strike. However, Aston Villa, the Europa League winners, managed to equalize just before halftime through Brian Madjo. The English side ultimately proved too inefficient in front of goal, failing to capitalize on their opportunities.

Desire Doué scored the decisive goal for PSG in the 61st minute, ensuring their victory and the retention of the Super Cup. This win continues a strong trend in the competition, with the Champions League winner prevailing over the Europa League winner in 13 of the last 14 Super Cup finals.
