Paris St Germain (PSG) secured the UEFA Super Cup with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Wednesday, retaining their trophy in the process. Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue proved decisive in the match, which was refereed by Somalian Omar Abdulkadir Artan. Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a powerful strike, and Doue doubled the lead in the 61st minute.
Villan 17-year-old Desire Doue, who became the youngest scorer in UEFA Super Cup history, expressed his ambition following the Champions League final, stating, "We are always hungry, we want more. We have ambitions, we’re a young team, and we want to win everything again this season." Despite Villa's numerous chances, they failed to equalize, with John McGinn's equalizer coming in the first half and being awarded following a VAR review.
PSG's managerial prowess was evident as Luis Enrique led a formidable lineup, including nine players who had recently returned from the World Cup. This victory marks PSG's third consecutive Super Cup win, joining AC Milan and Real Madrid as the only teams to have retained the trophy.
