PSG down Aston Villa to retain Uefa Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain reinforced their status as Europe's top team with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa.
Paris Saint-Germain secured their dominance in European football by defeating Aston Villa 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup at Salzburg, on Wednesday. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue scored the opening goals, with Doue adding a second in the 61st minute after VAR confirmed the winger was onside. Aston Villa's Brian Madjo equalised in the 45th minute.
The Super Cup, played between the champions of Europe's two major club competitions, saw PSG, Champions League winners last season, defend their title against another Premier League side, Villa. French defender Lucas Digne, who signed for PSG earlier in the week, started on the bench. Both teams fielded strong squads, with Villa resting several players, including World Cup participants Ezri Konsa, Emi Martinez, and Ollie Watkins.
PSG's victory sets the stage for a potential third consecutive Champions League crown for the French club.
