PSG Secures UEFA Super Cup Victory Over Aston Villa
PSG celebrated a successful night in Austria by winning the UEFA Super Cup, defeating Aston Villa 2-1 in an exciting match held in Salzburg. The team, led by coach Luis Enrique, continued their winning streak from last season by showcasing a strong performance against a determined Villa side.
A key highlight of the match was the absence of Bradley Barcola. New signing Maghnes Akliouche took the field as a starter, while several star players from Paris joined later in the game. Barcola’s absence raised eyebrows, especially amid strong links to Liverpool and his expressed desire to leave PSG. His limited playtime further fueled speculation about a potential transfer.
Despite missing out on playing time, the France international appeared in good spirits as he celebrated the victory. A moment captured between him and sporting director Luis Campos was interpreted by some as a possible farewell.
In other developments, Ferran Torres skipped Barcelona training this week, indicating that his potential move to PSG is nearing completion. Reports suggest that the two clubs are close to finalizing a €55 million fee for the player. Although the transfer isn’t finalized, expectations are that it will not deviate from this price point.
Additionally, Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Zion Suzuki is set to join PSG shortly. However, in a surprising twist, he is expected to spend this season playing for Juventus.
PSG had a good night in Austria last night, but even there there were hints about action still to come this summer.

PSG won the UEFA Super Cup last night, beating Aston Villa 2-1 in an enjoyable game in Salzburg.
Luis Enrique’s team picked up where they left off last season, winning games and winning trophies. A very strong team picked by the Spanish coach saw off a spirited Villa.
Barcola notable by his absences in PSG win
One very notable factor from the win was the lack of Bradley Barcola. New signing Maghnes Akliouche started the game, and other Parisians stars came on to join the party later on.
But one player who was notable by their absence was Barcola. He’s been strongly linked to Liverpool, and has made it very clear that he wants to leave. His lack of minutes last night makes a move seem more likely than ever.

The France international did look happy as he celebrated on the pitch at full time, and one moment he shared with sporting director Luis Campos is being said to look a lot like a “goodbye.”
In other news…
Ferran Torres is skipping Barcelona training this week because his move to PSG has got so close.
The latest report was that the clubs were close to agreeing a €55m fee for Torres, and while the deal isn’t done, we wouldn’t imagine the price is going to change much, if at all.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Zion Suzuki will also join PSG in the coming days – but he looks more likely to be turning out for Juventus this season, strangely.
