Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2-1 on Thursday, 13 August 2026, to claim the UEFA Super Cup, according to ESPN Singapore. The match, played at a neutral venue, saw PSG secure the trophy with a decisive goal from Doué.
Aston Villa took a historic step in the contest, as Madjo scored to become the first player in the club's history to net in a UEFA Super Cup final, as reported by The Guardian. Despite that milestone, PSG's overall quality proved decisive, with Doué's strike sealing the win for the French side.
The buildup to the fixture was marked by caution from PSG boss Luis Enrique, who told CNA that he did not expect a top-level Super Cup game due to a lack of preparation time. His comments reflected the tight scheduling around the start of the European season, with both clubs having limited time to ready their squads for the showpiece.
For Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, the defeat extended his wait for a first Super Cup triumph, according to BBC. Emery, who has won multiple Europa League titles, has yet to lift this particular trophy in his managerial career.
The result gives PSG their latest piece of silverware and adds another chapter to their recent dominance in European competition. Aston Villa, meanwhile, will take encouragement from their competitive display, having pushed the Parisian side close.
Attention now turns to the domestic campaigns for both clubs, with PSG aiming to carry this momentum into Ligue 1 and Aston Villa looking to build on their Super Cup run in the Premier League.
