Paris Saint-Germain claimed the UEFA Super Cup with a 2–1 victory over Aston Villa, controlling proceedings through a dominant midfield setup in their 4–3–3 formation. The hosts dictated play with 61 per cent possession and 12 shots, converting six on target into their two-goal haul, whilst PSG's goalkeeper made four saves at a 75 per cent clip from Villa's efforts. Aston Villa, deployed in a 4–2–3–1, proved dangerous on the counter despite holding just 39 per cent possession, registering 15 shots overall though only four found the target; their stopper saved three of six shots on target faced. The French champions' superior shot accuracy and territorial control ultimately proved decisive, though Villa's shot volume underscored their threat on transition. Omar Abdulkadir Artan officiated throughout. PSG's Super Cup triumph marks an early-season statement of intent.
