Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, beating Aston Villa 2-1 in the final, according to Sky Sport. The match, played on 12 August 2026, marked the first competitive trophy of the new European season.
Sky Sport reports that goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué secured the win for the French champions. The result means PSG added the European Super Cup to their collection, opening their campaign with silverware. Aston Villa, competing in the fixture for the first time, pushed their opponents but ultimately fell short.
The victory extends PSG’s recent dominance in continental competition. Italian outlet Corriere della Sera confirmed the scorers, while ANSA described the Parisian side as "unstoppable" after their latest triumph. Corriere dello Sport also highlighted the celebratory mood around the club, noting that the new season has started with a trophy in hand.
The UEFA Super Cup traditionally pits the winners of the Champions League against the winners of the Europa League. PSG’s presence in the match implies they won one of those competitions last season, while Aston Villa’s appearance suggests they claimed the other. However, the specific paths both teams took to reach Wednesday’s final were not detailed in the reports.
For Aston Villa, the defeat marks a near miss in a high-profile final, but their participation itself signals a significant step for the English club on the European stage. PSG, meanwhile, will look to carry this momentum into their domestic league campaign and the Champions League group stage.
Attention now turns to how both teams respond in their upcoming fixtures, with PSG aiming to build on this early success and Aston Villa seeking to bounce back from the narrow loss.
