In the 61st minute, PSG, having escaped danger, capitalized on their chance. Dembélé delivered a brilliant through-ball assist, and the 21-year-old Doué broke the offside trap, went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and scored from a tight angle. The linesman initially flagged for offside, but VAR intervened and the goal was awarded. PSG took the lead again. Doué, valued at 120 million euros, finished the match with a goal and an assist.

In the end, PSG held on to their lead until the final whistle, winning the UEFA Super Cup for the second consecutive year. In four days, PSG will go for another trophy as they face Lens in the French Super Cup.
