Footballers of Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2:1 in Salzburg and defended their triumph in the UEFA Super Cup.

The Parisians entered the match after the summer break with minimal joint preparation, as according to available information they trained together only twice. Despite this, they managed to overcome the English opponent, and Désiré Doué was the decisive player. irozhlas.cz ↗
Although Aston Villa lost the match, attention in Salzburg was also drawn to its seventeen-year-old striker Brian Madjo. The young player, previously little known to the wider public, made his mark in Super Cup history and according to several reports overshadowed well-known names on the side of the Champions League winner. The team's coach also highlighted him after the match. France24 ↗
Part of the match was also a historic moment on the referees' side. Omar Artan from Somalia became the first non-European referee to officiate a European Super Cup. After the match, he thanked UEFA, and reports described the encounter as emotional given his previous elimination from the World Championships. Tagesspiegel ↗
PSG thus continues its period of success and added another European trophy to their Champions League triumph. Aston Villa takes away from the match above all the performance of young Madjo, around whom a discussion subsequently arose following a provocative post by the Ryanair airline on social networks.
