UEFA Super Cup 2026

[sokani]

PSG demonstrated that they were the superior team. They scored the opening goal through Kvara and initially tried to slow the tempo, but Aston Villa began to apply pressure.
Madjo missed several chances but scored a fine goal in the 45th minute, leveling the score at 1–1.
In the second half, Doue—who had provided the assist for the first goal—scored himself to make it 2–1.
The assistant referee raised the offside flag for this goal, but a VAR review ultimately confirmed it as a valid goal.

A ball with a built-in chip was used during the World Cup; I don't understand why it wasn't used in this match. It surely wouldn't be too difficult or costly to implement. In my opinion, a chipped ball should have been used here.
PSG won the trophy they deserved for the second consecutive time.

Dueue's strike is not an offside goal. The foot of an Aston Villa player who was at the topmost end of the pitch played Dueue right on site. There's nothing controversial about the goal. Even if UEFA had used a smart ball with a built-in chip for the game, it wouldn't have made any difference. The goal would have still stood.

I predicted PSG winning 2:1 in the fixture between Aston Villa with PSG, and it ended like that. One thing I have noticed about this PSG team is that they have won to the extend they don't accept loosing anymore. They are now used to winning  and anything losing in a final like that is something they won't want to accept at all. Aston Villa really tried and I think if they should play the champions league consistently, there is every tendency that they would one day win the competition. They are really playing good football under Unai Emery.
Right now, I would rate PSG as the best team in the world, and no team comes close, the only team that gets a little closer to them is Arsenal, , but Arsenal's problem is that their coach too much love defensive pattern of football, and it is killing the confidence of those players. Arsenal in 2022-2023 season okayed a very beautiful football that got every body's attention, but because they weren't able to win the league with that beautiful football that year, Mikel Arteta decided to switch to a more defensive pattern of football, which actually paid off.
Now, they have to blend aesthetic with  good defense. This will  make their game play more beautiful and at the same time win them trophies.

congratulations to psg on winning the trophy. actually, after aston villa’s goal that tied the game at 1-1, i wondered if the match might go into extra time, but psg didn’t let that happen. the opening goal by kvaratshelia was absolutely spectacular. he might be one of psg’s most successful signings in recent years.

we didn’t see any surprises in this match, which was actually somewhat in line with my expectations. i think 2-1 was the most likely score for a match like this.

From the start, PSG was indeed going to be the favorite, so this win isn't too surprising. Actually, I think Aston Villa's performance in this match was really good they managed to put pressure on PSG throughout the game and even scored a goal in the first half, although in the second half Aston Villa ended up conceding again, making the score 2-1 in favor of PSG. By the way, I want to correct your statement if Aston Villa managed to hold a draw, there would be no extra time because it would go straight to penalties due to the new rules. Honestly, in the first half Unai Emery strategy worked well, but in the second half Aston Villa really couldn't hold back PSG's attacks.

Congratulations to PSG on the Super Cup trophy. One player who made this win extra special is Fabian Ruiz, as he has now achieved a streak of back to back titles: the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA World Cup with Spain. As for Aston Villa even though they lost there’s one player who should be proud Brian Madjo, because he made history in the UEFA Super Cup by scoring a goal at 17 years and 8 months old. If he keeps developing like this, Aston Villa will get better and Madjo future will be really exciting to follow.

The PSG vs Villa match was full of excitement from the beginning. After the first goal, it seemed that Villa would lose their rhythm a bit. But Aston Villa showed a competitive match. Villa's attack was more from the beginning. They counter-attacked several times but the attack did not yield results because Villa did not have a finisher like PSG. Both teams defended quite strongly in the match. Especially in the past, we have seen a slight lack of rhythm in PSG's defense at times. But in the last match, PSG's defense line stood at the same strength throughout. If the match had gone into extra time, it would have been more exciting. But the match was enjoyable.

I couldn't help but praise PSG's defense in yesterday's match, they saved themselves from the goalpost twice in such a situation, it was really impressive. The situation was very scary, Aston Villa's strikers were very close to the goalpost with the ball, but even there, PSG's defense defended their goalpost very well, I was really surprised to see such a great defense by PSG, I really don't know whether to call Aston Villa's bad luck or their weakness in yesterday's match. And I also thought that Aston Villa would equalize the match, since they became more aggressive after conceding the second goal, but despite many attempts, they could not equalize the score, and in the end, PSG won the match as expected. Because even though the match went into extra time, PSG is the favorite to win.

Time for PSG to free Barcola and allow him to move to 6 times CL winners Liverpool. I saw Barcola in the trophy celebrations and he looked like he didn’t want to be there.

He’s too good to be riding the bench the majority of the time. I am hoping we get a Romano ‘HERE WE GO’ very soon.

Despite the fact that PSG sold their best players, it does not mean they're not strong again. They still have the experience of making things difficult for the big teams, and that's exactly what happened in this game. It would been tougher for them if not for their experience.

Who exactly was PSG’s best player that they sold?

The team is still pretty much the same and they’ve got the very players that they used in lifting trophies still featuring in the first team, Dembele, Doue, Kvaratskhelia, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Mendes and these guys have being able to synchronize their play to win trophies. The team is pretty much stable as it is, best to leave it be for a couple of seasons.

Yes, PSG never sold their best players, the team is still the same, and yes, according to you, Dembele, Doue, Kvaratskhelia, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Mendes will not be sold to PSG, and with them there is Bradley Barcola, but I am still not sure whether PSG will keep Bradley Barcola or sell him. Because Liverpool wants Bradley Barcola, it is still not possible to say whether Bradley Barcola will stay or not. But Bradley Barcola is a good player now, and I do not understand how good or bad it will be for PSG to sell him. I do not think it would be good to sell him, because Dembele, Doue, Kvaratskhelia, and Bradley Barcola are the 4 best strikers in PSG now, they should keep a good striker in the team to play as a substitute in a match.

This new season let every team boost up, the era of a particular team dominating all round shouldn’t be tolerated again, PSG shouldn’t be allowed to win both the champions league and super cup, are other teams sleeping? I even felt Aston Villa could pull a stunt when they equalized 1:1 but they couldn’t and ended up losing 2:1, anyways congrats to PSG on their well deserved victory.

I thought Paris Saint-Germain might have won more comfortably against Aston Villa; given their form in the months leading up to the end of the season, I was expecting a margin of at least two or three goals, but they struggled despite having the majority of possession.

If these PSG players go through the same amount of football stress as players in other leagues that they play against in the Champions League go through from the rigorous football schedule and them having to play in most games because of how competitive their league is, it's much more than the French league, where we know PSG has been winning and will win the next season and can afford to have a team that plays in the league games while they keep their top key players fresh and injury-free for the Champions League and other European competitions like this.

If they still struggle against teams whose players have been through a hectic footballing schedule to win games like they did against an Aston Villa without many key players from last season, they will be unable to perform if put through the same schedule.

I doubt they can win the Champions League for the third time and equal Real Madrid's record.

Remember that they had even more great players like Messi and Mbappe combined, but they couldn't win it for years. They were only dominating in there France league, but not in Europe.

During the Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe era, PSG was not under the management of Luis Enrique. If they were, I believe they would have been able to win the Champions League then, because they had the tools in terms of players who could win it, but no proper management.

I believe Enrique is doing a nice job. So, it's not all about there schedules of matches, it's there strength, pace, power, zeal and resilience that has transformed them to becoming series of champions.

I agree that it is the coach; he turned them into playing as a team instead of playing individually for their own record.

Yes of course psg deserve so many credits for the game those time were they show they kept the ball throughout the match, Aston villa try to push very hard yet they where unable to penetrate psg defense but after the second goal PSG stayed consistent they handle every  pressure giving by villa that was amazing at a point it felt like it was going to be Aston villa bad today PSG remain undefeated and they still tell the word that a champion is always a champion I think Aston villa try their best but their best is not good enough all hail PSG .

[shinratensei_]

I prefer to go to money line. 1.81 for PSG is tempting odds to miss. PSG might lose to Mallorca in their last pre-season, but they were not even playing a player from their main squad. So they obviously did it to take Supercup game seriously.
So i will go for them. I don't think Villa is strong enough to beat them consider they sold their key player, Rogers. Villa also looks pathetic based on their pre season results.

I don't see a sense to bet on Villa. Time for PSG to thrash Villa, then b2b win supercup.

If we can judge PSG based on their in the preseason performance so far, I don’t think anyone can bet on this team to win the Super Cup tomorrow. The preseason results do not mean PSG will lose tomorrow, everyone believes that PSG has a better squad compared to Aston Villa. I will bet on PSG to lift the trophy tomorrow. After winning the Champions League back to back, I believe PSG will make history by winning the Super Cup again.

Anyone who watched all of PSG games during pre season would aware if they never use their full squad. so their result in pre season was not relevant to determine their result in Supercup. that's why i judged them to win, and i win my bet.
A team with higher valuation compared to its opponent obviously having more advantages. So glad they executed it well, though bunches of people underrated them even before the game.

Villa is Villa, it will never able to equal to the PSG in the current state. So yeah, congrats all who believed in PSG.

Unai Emery didn't let his team play timidly. Paris Saint-Germain, who played the Champions League final against Arsenal, didn't struggle this much. In that match, they easily put pressure on Arsenal, but the Aston Villa game was different. Aston Villa fought Paris Saint-Germain like champions. Yes, they may have lost, but they fought perfectly. Everyone in the world admired their fight. Most people didn't expect them to play so strongly against Paris Saint-Germain.

For the time being, it is only Chelsea that has beaten PSG in the finals under Luis Enrique. It all happened in a UEFA Super Cup like this, when the odds are for PSG beating Chelsea, Chelsea surprises everyone with a 3-0 victory.

In this Champions League season, we can't say what it will be like for PSG and Arsenal. I can't because of their last season's preparations to think and conclude that PSG will kick every other team out as they formerly did.

I then anticipate that every team that will be participating in the Champions League this time around will prepare and arrange their squad to be formidable to challenge PSG for the Champions League trophy

Lol. It was a mistake. I was absolutely referring to Aston Villa because they are ones that sold their best players. Yes, PSG still maintain their best players, and from the look of things I think there are more trophies for them this new season, because they are always able and capable of getting what they want.

Anyway let's see how it goes, because right now they have already done the needful against Aston Villa. Even though it didn't end as massive as people expected, but it was still a win for them.

Nice prediction, man. Honestly, I didn't see the match going the way it did. PSG wasn't that much better of a team than Aston Villa and struggled to create chances, but when they did, they scored—that's the level of concentration and decision-making PSG is on, better than anyone else so far in Europe. But also, praises to Villa, who managed to not make it easy for PSG. Also worth mentioning is the young 17-year-old lad, Brian Madjo—how physically strong he is and how difficult it was marking him. Maybe we are seeing a future superstar.
