That was the UEFA Super Cup in Salzburg!

Countless hours of intensive preparation by an entire city, our Red Bull Arena at the very heart of European soccer—and suddenly, the day of the UEFA Super Cup had arrived: The evening of August 12 will forever be a part of our stadium’s history. For the first European final in Austria since EURO 2008, nearly 30,000 fans cheered on the action live at the stadium, along with tens of millions around the world.

In the end, the fans were treated to an impressive performance: UEFA Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain prevailed in a thrilling match against UEFA Europa League champion Aston Villa. True to the spirit of the evening, the goals were scored by the big names on the French star-studded squad. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute, before Desire Doue (61') sealed the victory after Brian Madjo (45') had temporarily tied the game.
