PSG struck first just before the 20-minute mark when Kvaratskhelia finished from Doue's pass. Villa responded right before the interval, with Madjo levelling at 44'53'' from McGinn's assist to send the teams in at 1-1. Reports said Madjo's goal came on his debut, and it gave Villa a real foothold after PSG's early control.
The game turned again soon after the restart. Dembele replaced Maghnes Akliouche at half-time and made an immediate impact, setting up Doue for the winning goal on 60'14''. There was a short wait before the strike was confirmed at 61'21'', and PSG then protected that lead through the closing stages.
Villa's pursuit became harder as the second half wore on. Pau Torres was booked on 51'20'', Joao Gomes followed on 63'08'', and McGinn also entered the book at 71'53'' before coming off moments later. Unai Emery then sent on Lamare Bogarde, Tammy Abraham and Alysson, while PSG answered with Lucas Hernandez, Fabian Ruiz, Senny Mayulu and Beraldo. The stats will show only a one-goal margin, but the result and the score were enough for PSG to take the trophy.
