Aston Villa's 17-year-old Brian Madjo equalised on the stroke of half-time on his debut, becoming the youngest-ever UEFA Super Cup scorer.

Quotes
Luis Enrique
Manager of Paris Saint-Germain
“It was a difficult match to prepare for. The players needed a rest and some time with their families, but every time they pull on the Paris Saint-Germain shirt, there is that connection with the fans, and amongst the players themselves. What we showed again today is that, despite mistakes and a lot of things missing, we are the team we have always been.”

“We always talk about the players who start the match, but it is very important to be ready to come on as a substitute, especially in this sort of match. All the players are on the same page, and that is very important, because to win big trophies, you need everyone to pull together.”
