History bows to Paris! PSG matches a feat achieved by only three clubs
PSG keeps collecting silverware and etching its name deeper into the annals of European football history.
Details: A 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup delivered not only another international trophy for Luis Enrique's squad, but also secured an exceptionally rare milestone. The Parisians clinched the tournament for the second year running, joining an exclusive group as just the fourth club ever to defend this title.
Before PSG, only Ajax, Milan, and Real Madrid had managed this feat. The French giants have now entered the rarefied circle of clubs able not just to win the UEFA Super Cup, but to keep hold of the trophy into the following season. What’s more, PSG is the first team since Real Madrid in 2017 to successfully defend the title.
What’s truly impressive is how quickly the Parisians have established themselves among the tournament’s elite. Just a year ago, PSG lifted the UEFA Super Cup for the first time in their history, defeating Tottenham and becoming the competition’s first-ever French champions. Now, Luis Enrique’s men have instantly repeated the success—this time in Salzburg, against Aston Villa.
In the final, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute, but just before halftime, 17-year-old Bryan Maggio leveled the match. The decisive moment came in the 61st minute: Désiré Doué found the net for PSG, sealing a 2-1 victory for the Parisians.
Thus, PSG kicks off the new season with yet another historic achievement. Two consecutive UEFA Super Cup triumphs firmly place the Parisians alongside Ajax, Milan, and Real Madrid—the only clubs to have ever reached this exceptional milestone.
Reminder: PSG crowned 2026 UEFA Super Cup champions.
