Paris Saint-Germain captured its 14th title of the Luis Enrique era yesterday, beating Aston Villa 2:1 in the Super Cup final. The team celebrates this trophy for the second consecutive year, following two straight wins in the Champions League.

The game opened at a high pace. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a brilliant individual move inside the box, firing a powerful shot into the near corner.

The Europa League holder remained resilient, pressing high. Young striker Brian Madjou missed four great opportunities before finally scoring a beautiful goal to equalize just before halftime.

The high intensity continued in the second half, but the European champion proved decisive. In the 61st minute, Desiré Doué was sent through by an excellent deep ball from Dembélé, penetrating the box and easily finishing into the far corner.

Luis Enrique's team will now prepare for their French league opener against Rennes in ten days, but first, they will look to secure another title this Sunday against Lens in the French Super Cup. Aston Villa will now focus on their Premier League opener next Sunday, where they face a challenging away match against Brighton.
