Paris Saint-Germain faced Aston Villa this Wednesday in the European Super Cup and claimed the title with a 2-1 victory. Speaking to PSG TV, 24-year-old attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche—making his debut for the Parisian side following his transfer from Monaco—reflected on the impressive win.
Akliouche: “It’s my first trophy, and I hope there will be more.”
“I’m very happy, truly delighted. I arrived here just a few days ago. I’m thrilled to have made my return to action and played my first match with the team today. I’m also very happy for the squad. It’s my first trophy, and I hope there will be more.”
It was a magnificent success for the Parisian side, kicking off the new season just as they finished the last. Facing Aston Villa promised to be a tough task for Luis Enrique and his men, given their inevitable lack of preparation time. Yet, determination, discipline, and rigor were the order of the day. Playing as a cohesive unit, PSG managed to take the lead and create chances, while also bouncing back after the English side equalized.
Ultimately, PSG has secured another European trophy—their fourth in two seasons—writing a brilliant new chapter in the history of French football. The message is clear: Luis Enrique and his squad are determined to continue their reign over Europe. The season promises to be a thrilling one, full of emotion for Parisian fans, who have been on cloud nine for months now.
