Paris Saint-Germain continues its sweet run of trophies.
The current two-time Champions League winner is now also the current two-time European Super Cup winner.
The latest trophy came this Wednesday (12) against a brave Aston Villa.
A 2-1 victory at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
It was the eighth straight win for the Champions League holder against the current Europa League winner.
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was barred from entering the United States for the World Cup, was the man in charge of officiating.
Aston Villa made sure not to be intimidated in the opening minutes.
PSG, meanwhile, started at a slower pace than usual.
It was up to Kvaratskhelia to make the first difference and open the scoring (20′).
One of Villa’s bets was Brian Madjo, just 17 years old and 1.93 m tall.
And the youngster quickly became one of the main protagonists.
He found success at 45′ after shrugging off Pacho’s presence.
PSG came back with Dembélé for the second half.
A change that helped them gain greater control of the match.
Even better, Luis Enrique’s team went back in front with a goal confirmed after the technology stepped in.
Unai Emery, the “Mr. Europa League,” tried something different.
Aston Villa put another Brazilian on the pitch (Alysson, a Grêmio academy product), but could not repeat what they had done in the first half.
Madjo and McGinn, both substituted, were missed.
PSG celebrated again and now turns its focus to the French Super Cup final against Lens.
That now makes it thirteen trophies since Luis Enrique arrived at the club.
