The match, played on Wednesday at the Red Bull Salzburg Arena in Austria, saw Desire Doue score the winning goal in the second half to seal back-to-back titles for the French champions.
PSG opened the scoring in the 20th minute through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, whose powerful strike put the Champions League winners ahead early in the contest against the English side.
Aston Villa responded with an equalizer from 17-year-old striker Brian Madjo. Making his competitive debut for the club just days after his registration was cleared, Madjo volleyed home to become the youngest player to start and score in a UEFA Super Cup final.
Doue's goal proved decisive in the second half. His 61st-minute finish from Ousmane Dembele's pass was initially ruled out for offside before being awarded after a video review, with Matty Cash judged to have played him onside in the build-up.
DailyVista247 gathered that the victory marks the first of a possible six trophies this season for Paris Saint-Germain, who are aiming to dominate both domestic and European competitions again.
The Paris club is the first team to win back-to-back Super Cup titles since Real Madrid achieved the feat in 2016 and 2017, underlining their recent dominance in European football.
The UEFA Super Cup is contested each year between the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League. PSG qualified as Champions League holders, while Aston Villa qualified as Europa League winners after their triumph last season.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, faced his former club PSG with high hopes of an upset, but could not keep Luis Enrique's men from another piece of silverware despite a spirited display in Salzburg.
The English side, who won the Europa League to qualify for the fixture, showed resilience after going behind and created chances to level again late in the game, but the French defence held firm.
The match was officiated by Somali referee Omar Artan, who became the first non-European official to take charge of a UEFA Super Cup final. Artan, who was named the top referee in Africa last season, issued three yellow cards during the game, all to Aston Villa players.
For PSG, the win continues their impressive run in Europe after retaining the Champions League title. Kvaratskhelia and Doue netted either side of the debut goal for Villa teenager Madjo as the French side defended the title they first won 12 months ago against Tottenham Hotspur on penalties.
The triumph in Salzburg marks another milestone for the Ligue 1 giants as they begin the 2026-27 campaign as kings of the continent, with their sights set on more trophies in the months ahead.
