Paris Saint-Germain began their 2026-27 campaign by winning the UEFA Super Cup, defeating Aston Villa in a closely contested match. The French champions, who had nine starters from last season's Champions League final against Arsenal, took time to find their rhythm after several World Cup stars returned to training only last week.
The match, held on August 13, 2026, saw PSG eventually overcome a tough Aston Villa side. Villa, who qualified as Europa Conference League winners, pushed the Parisians throughout, but PSG's quality ultimately prevailed.
This victory marks PSG's second UEFA Super Cup title in club history, adding to their 1996 triumph. It also serves as an early statement of intent as they look to improve on last season's runner-up finish in the Champions League.
