UEFA Super Cup, Paris Saint‑Germain vs Aston Villa

sportsAug 12, 2026635,241

Paris Saint-Germain beat Aston Villa 2-1 to retain the UEFA Super Cup at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute for PSG. Seventeen-year-old Brian Madjo volleyed a 45th-minute equaliser, becoming the youngest scorer in Super Cup history on his Villa debut. Désiré Doué restored PSG's lead with a 62nd-minute winner that stood after a VAR offside check. Villa had been able to field Madjo only after winning a Court of Arbitration for Sport appeal following an eight-month registration ban; the club paid £10m to sign him from Metz in January. Omar Artan became the first non-European referee to take charge of the Super Cup, and Unai Emery suffered his fourth final defeat in this competition.

WHAT A MOMENT FOR OMAR ARTAN 👏 Two months after the U.S. denied the Somali ref entry to the country to officiate the World Cup, Omar Artan is the first non-European to officiate the UEFA Super Cup 💙🤍

Dear Mr. Artan, I’m so very sorry that America denied you access to referee the W Cup. Most Americans are horrified this happened to you. A very small amount of people are hateful & paranoid of people that don’t look white like them. Please forgive us! It’s quite embarrassing for sane Americans.

That's UEFA way of saying "fuck you Gianni, fuck you Donald". That's a reminder that being slightly less corrupt is better than being slightly more corrupt.

So happy for him. He was treated like shit. A very embarrassing moment for the World Cup, I say.

How much we lose in our society for trying to confine it to people just like ourselves.

He was a great referee during the European Super Cup match between PSG and Aston Villa, which ended 2-1.

He's having a great game as well. Get him in the English Premier league pronto!!

Somali referee Omar Artan has become the first non-European to take charge of the UEFA Super Cup. Mr. #Artan was stopped at Miami airport in June & disgracefully refused entry due to 'vetting concerns.' He would have become the first Somali referee to officiate at a WC. Fair play to #UEFA.

🇸🇴🔥 FROM SETBACK TO HISTORY! Omar Artan was denied his World Cup moment—but he didn’t stop. Today, he became the first non-European referee to officiate the UEFA Super Cup. They closed one door. He opened history. 💪🏾🇸🇴⚽️ #Somalia #OmarArtan #UEFASuperCup #NeverGiveUp www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

Aston Villa's battling display against PSG wasn't quite enough to win the UEFA Super Cup, as Unai Emery's side lose 2-1 in Salzburg. It was a brilliant performance from Villa, who, despite being without key players, gave the European champions a proper game. 👏 #AVFC

A year ago we were facing off against PSG in the Super Cup. If you'd told me that <insert reams of the absolutely freaky shit that has happened in the past year but is far too numerous to put in a post> I would have had you sectioned.
