PSG were crowned UEFA Super Cup champions for the second year in a row, joining Real Madrid and AC Milan in an impressive record. PSG have become just the third club in history to win the UEFA Super Cup in back-to-back years, following their 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in Salzburg. The French club now sits alongside Real Madrid and AC Milan as the only teams to ever retain the trophy in consecutive editions of the competition. PSG‘s run began with their 2025 triumph, a penalty shootout win over Tottenham after a 2-2 draw, and now continues with this year’s success against Villa to complete the double. It’s a remarkable stretch for a club that has rapidly built one of the most dominant runs in recent European soccer under manager Luis Enrique. Real Madrid were the last club to manage the feat, winning in both 2016 and 2017 during the height of their Champions League dynasty under Zinédine Zidane. Before that, the only other team to achieve back-to-back Super Cup titles was AC Milan, who won in both 1989 and 1990. Notably, that puts PSG ahead of clubs like Ajax, who won the competition in 1972 and 1974 but never managed consecutive titles, since the tournament wasn’t held in 1973. Superchampions d'Europe ! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/9AUlVrARrS— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) August 12, 2026 PSG’s dominance over English clubs in Europe PSG’s back-to-back Super Cup triumphs are part of a broader trend: the French club has won all eight knockout ties and finals they’ve played against English opposition in UEFA competitions over the past two seasons. That run includes Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16 (2025), Aston Villa in the quarterfinals (2025), Arsenal in the semifinals (2025), and Tottenham in the Super Cup (2025), followed by Chelsea in the round of 16 (2026), Liverpool again in the quarterfinals (2026), Arsenal again in the final (2026), and now Aston Villa once more in this year’s Super Cup. It’s worth noting, however, that this perfect record is specific to UEFA competitions. PSG’s run doesn’t extend to the FIFA Club World Cup, where Chelsea beat them 3-0 in the July 2025 final.

Ferran Torres appears close to becoming a new PSG player, which could open the door for Julian Alvarez to become Barcelona's new striker. Ferran Torres is on the verge of leaving Barcelona for PSG, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who confirmed the Spanish forward has already been authorized to travel for his medical in Paris. The deal is worth a guaranteed €50 million, with Barcelona and PSG now exchanging documents to finalize the move within the next 24 hours. Torres will not train with Barcelona in the interim, a clear sign the transfer is considered all but done on both ends. His departure leaves an opening in Barcelona’s forward line, one the club could look to fill with Julian Alvarez. The Argentine has been strongly linked with a move to Camp Nou for months, and Torres’ exit could accelerate those plans. With Alvarez as their main target, Barcelona are looking to reshape their attack for the new season, having already added Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Jesse Bisiwu. 🚨🔴🔵 BREAKING: Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain, HERE WE GO! 💥Deal confirmed for World Cup final hero as Barça receive a fee worth €50m from PSG.Ferran only wanted Paris and the agreement has been sealed after being at final stages for several days. All done. pic.twitter.com/4siCHz3yIc— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 13, 2026 Julian Alvarez’s situation at Atlético Madrid Alvarez’s future at Atletico Madrid has become an increasingly tense storyline. The club has set his release clause at €500 million, with CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin insisting there’s no scenario in which he leaves for less, despite Álvarez’s contract running through June 2030. Atletico have flatly rejected the idea of a sale, rejecting offers from Barcelona and Real Madrid, framing him as a non-negotiable piece of the squad heading into the new season. Things came to a head this week. After returning from preseason medical evaluations, Alvarez reportedly told the club not to count on him going forward, prioritizing a move to Barcelona above all else. Simeone, for his part, maintained that the decision rests with club executives — though Alvarez’s camp reportedly views the coach as the one person with enough influence to push the front office toward approving a deal. Whether that influence materializes remains to be seen, but with Ferran Torres’ exit freeing up both space and resources in Barcelona’s attack, the pieces around Alvarez’s potential move are shifting in a way that could eventually put pressure on Atletico’s hardline stance.
Brian Madjo needed only 17 minutes to change Aston Villa's outlook for the forthcoming season. In that time he bullied Willian Pacho, one of the best markers in the world, and gave Marquinhos a fright.
