Désiré Doué Delivers Again as PSG Edge Aston Villa to Lift Super Cup

Désiré Doué continued his remarkable rise on Wednesday night, scoring the decisive goal as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2–1 to retain the UEFA Super Cup.

The Frenchman produced another big moment on a major European stage, finding the net in the second half to settle a thrilling contest in Salzburg.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had initially put PSG ahead before Aston Villa youngster Brian Madjo levelled the contest.

But when PSG needed someone to produce the difference, Doué stepped forward.

Doué Becomes the Hero Again

There is becoming a familiar pattern whenever PSG reach the biggest matches.

Désiré Doué keeps finding a way to make the difference.

The 21-year-old was involved throughout the contest and eventually delivered the decisive moment, scoring PSG's second goal to put Luis Enrique's side back in front.

The goal was initially subjected to an offside check, but VAR confirmed that Doué was onside after Matty Cash had played him into a legal position.

The goal stood — and PSG held on.

PSG Retain the Super Cup

PSG's opening goal came from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Georgian attacker continued his impressive influence in the PSG attack, giving his side the early advantage.

Villa refused to fold, however, and their response came through 17-year-old Brian Madjo.

The teenager produced a historic moment by becoming the youngest scorer in the competition's history, giving Villa renewed belief.

But PSG had the final word.

Doué's Moment

With the match delicately balanced, Doué produced the moment that ultimately decided the trophy.

His goal was initially questioned by the assistant referee, but VAR intervention confirmed that the PSG forward had not strayed offside.

That made the goal even more dramatic.

Once it was given, PSG had the lead again — and this time they refused to surrender it.

Another Big-Game Performance

Doué's performance adds another impressive chapter to his rapidly developing reputation.

He has already demonstrated that he is capable of performing under the brightest lights.

His Champions League final performance against Inter Milan in 2025 remains one of the defining moments of his young career, when he scored twice and assisted another goal in PSG's 5–0 victory.

Now he has added another decisive contribution in a European final.

That is becoming a remarkable habit for a player still only 21.

PSG Keep Winning

For Luis Enrique, the result continues an extraordinary period of success.

PSG have now added another European trophy to their collection after establishing themselves as one of the dominant forces in continental football.

The victory over Villa was not straightforward.

But once again, PSG found the decisive moments when they mattered most.

And once again, Doué was at the centre of one of them.

A Star Continuing to Rise

Doué's development has been one of the most exciting stories surrounding PSG.

The Frenchman arrived from Rennes in 2024 and quickly began showing why the Parisian club considered him a major long-term investment.

His combination of pace, technical ability and confidence has allowed him to become increasingly influential.

But his biggest strength may now be his ability to produce when the pressure is highest.

The Super Cup provided another example.

The Night Belonged to Doué

Aston Villa pushed PSG all the way.

Madjo's equaliser ensured that the match remained competitive, while Villa continued searching for another opening after falling behind again.

But PSG's quality ultimately proved decisive.

And when the final whistle arrived, it was Doué's goal that separated the two teams.

PSG are Super Cup champions again — and Désiré Doué has once again written his name into another major European night.
