ASTON VILLA WERE eclipsed by Paris St Germain as the back-to-back Champions League winners claimed the Super Cup with a 2-1 victory in Salzburg.
Villa teenager Brian Madjo scored a glorious debut equaliser to cancel out Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s opening goal.
But Desire Doue’s winner meant Luis Enrique was able to celebrate a European ‘double-double’ with PSG becoming only the third club to retain the trophy after AC Milan in 1990 and Real Madrid in 2017.

Unai Emery may be the king of the Europa League after winning it for a fifth time with Villa against Freiburg in May, but the Super Cup continues to elude him.
That famous victory in Istanbul – Villa’s first trophy in 30 years – earned the Spanish boss a fourth shot at trying to win the European season-opening showpiece, but he slipped to a fourth defeat.
