Brian Madjo UEFA Super Cup debut

Overview

Aston Villa striker Brian Madjo became the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Super Cup history during his competitive debut against Paris Saint-Germain. At 17 years and 212 days old, the 1.93-meter tall forward broke a record previously held by Patrick Kluivert by scoring a first-half volley to equalize the match in Salzburg, though Villa ultimately lost 2-1 to PSG.

Madjo’s appearance followed an eight-month legal dispute regarding his registration. After joining Villa from Metz in January, FIFA initially blocked the transfer due to regulations restricting the international movement of players under 18. Aston Villa successfully appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that Madjo should be exempt from certain restrictions because he was born in Enfield, London, despite having played for Luxembourg at youth levels.

Having represented Luxembourg at the senior level and England at the U17 level, Madjo has drawn physical comparisons to Romelu Lukaku.
