PSG was rated higher than Aston Villa before the match, but the French representative experienced 90 difficult minutes against the opponent's powerful and fast playing style.
PSG opened the score in the 20th minute. Brian Madjo handled the ball inaccurately in front of Aston Villa's penalty area, losing the ball to PSG players. After only 2 quick passes, the ball was sent to the position of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian player turned the ball away from the opponent's defender and then unleashed a powerful shot, putting PSG ahead 1-0.
Aston Villa immediately put pressure and Brian Madjo had 3 consecutive good chances to equalize. However, the 17-year-old striker missed one after another, including 2 close-range headers.
However, Madjo managed to correct his mistake in the 45th minute. John McGinn made a difficult cross from the right wing, creating conditions for Madjo to rush down and finish close range, bringing the match back to the starting line.
Stepping into the second half, the two teams continued to play head-to-head and created an attractive game. However, PSG was the team that took advantage of the opportunity better. In the 61st minute, Ousmane Dembele launched a smart pass for Desire Doue to break the offside trap and escape to face Aston Villa's goalkeeper.
Doue calmly turns the ball before taking a delicate shot, helping PSG once again take a 2-1 lead.
In the end, PSG defeated Aston Villa 2-1 to win the 2026 European Super Cup.
