Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning European champions, continue to assert their dominance over Premier League sides. The latest addition to their list of victims is Aston Villa, following PSG’s 2-1 victory in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup final at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria.

This win confirms PSG’s ongoing superiority over English opposition, marking their ninth consecutive unbeaten match against Premier League clubs—a streak that began following their defeat to Chelsea in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final.

PSG — The turning point

PSG’s last loss to an English team occurred on July 13, 2025, when they fell 3-0 to Chelsea in the final of the expanded FIFA Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium. Since that match, however, the narrative has shifted completely. The French side has transformed these encounters into a series of positive results, featuring significant victories and two crucial qualification wins via penalty shootouts.

The streak began against Tottenham Hotspur, with a 2-2 draw in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup final, which PSG ultimately won 4-3 on penalties. In the UEFA Champions League, the Parisians maintained their momentum, defeating Tottenham 5-3 and drawing 1-1 with Newcastle United. This was followed by a resounding 5-2 first-leg victory over Chelsea in the Round of 16, and a commanding 3-0 win in the return leg.

Nine times undefeated

The momentum continued as PSG eliminated Liverpool with back-to-back 2-0 wins, before overcoming Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final — a match that ended 1-1 before PSG clinched the title in a 4-3 penalty shootout.

New English victim

This remarkable streak was cemented against Aston Villa, who joined the growing list of English clubs unable to halt the Parisian charge. Following their 2-1 Super Cup victory, PSG’s record against English opposition since the Chelsea loss now stands at seven wins and two draws (including one penalty shootout victory) across nine matches — a clear indication that their defeat to the Blues was merely a temporary setback.

Commenting on this run, the French newspaper Le Parisien remarked that ‘new English victims continue to fall before Saint-Germain,’ highlighting the dramatic shift in the team’s performance against Premier League giants.

While the loss to Chelsea over a year ago was a bitter blow, it has served as the launchpad for a winning streak that has established the Parisian giant as the preeminent threat to English clubs in European football.
