Aston Villa youngster Brian Madjo has become the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Super Cup history, setting the record during the club’s 2026 showdown against Paris Saint-Germain.
Madjo was just 17 years and 212 days old when he scored against PSG on August 12, 2026, surpassing the previous mark and adding his name to UEFA Super Cup history.
The goal represented a remarkable moment for one of Aston Villa’s brightest young prospects on one of European soccer’s biggest stages.
Who Is the Youngest Goalscorer in UEFA Super Cup History?
Brian Madjo is the youngest player ever to score in the UEFA Super Cup.
The Aston Villa forward established the record against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup at just 17 years and 212 days old.
Born on January 12, 2009, Madjo was still several months away from his 18th birthday when he found the net against the reigning European champions.
His performance immediately placed him ahead of some notable young players who have scored in the competition.
Youngest Goalscorers in UEFA Super Cup History
Here is a look at some of the youngest players to score in the UEFA Super Cup:
| Rank | Player | Age | Club | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brian Madjo | 17 years, 212 days | Aston Villa | 2026 |
| 2 | Alexandre Pato | 18 years, 12 days | AC Milan | 2007 |
| 3 | Oleh Blokhin | 22 years old | Dynamo Kyiv | 1975 |
| 4 | Radamel Falcao | 24 years old | Atlรฉtico Madrid | 2010 |
Madjo stands out as the only player on the list to score in the competition before turning 18.
Brian Madjo’s UEFA Super Cup Record
Madjo entered the 2026 UEFA Super Cup as one of Aston Villa’s young players to watch, but his performance against PSG immediately elevated his profile.
At 17 years and 212 days, Madjo became the youngest player to score in the history of the competition.
The achievement is particularly impressive considering the stage and opposition.
The UEFA Super Cup traditionally brings together the winners of Europe’s major club competitions, meaning Madjo established the record against one of the strongest teams on the continent.
How Old Was Brian Madjo When He Scored in the UEFA Super Cup?
Brian Madjo was 17 years and 212 days old when he scored against PSG on August 12, 2026.
Madjo was born on January 12, 2009, meaning he would not celebrate his 18th birthday until January 2027.
That makes him the first 17-year-old to score in UEFA Super Cup history.
Alexandre Pato Previously Held One of the Youngest Scoring Marks
Before Madjo’s breakthrough, Alexandre Pato was among the youngest players ever to score in the UEFA Super Cup.
The Brazilian striker scored for AC Milan in the 2007 UEFA Super Cup while still only 18 years old.
Pato was regarded as one of world soccer’s most exciting young prospects during the early stages of his career, and his Super Cup performance became another example of his extraordinary talent as a teenager.
Madjo’s 2026 goal, however, pushed the age benchmark even lower.
Why Brian Madjo’s Record Is Significant
Scoring in the UEFA Super Cup is difficult for any player, but doing so at 17 makes Madjo’s achievement particularly unusual.
Young players often receive limited opportunities in major European finals, where managers generally rely heavily on experienced players.
Madjo not only appeared on the European stage but also found the net against PSG before reaching his 18th birthday.
His record could consequently prove difficult to break.
A future player would need to score in the UEFA Super Cup at 17 years and 211 days or younger to surpass Madjo.
Aston Villa Youngster Makes European History
Madjo’s goal represents another milestone for Aston Villa as the club competes on one of European soccer’s biggest stages.
For the player himself, becoming the youngest UEFA Super Cup goalscorer ever provides an early career achievement that will remain attached to his name regardless of what comes next.
Few players even appear in a major UEFA final as teenagers. Even fewer score.
Madjo managed both before turning 18.
Who Holds the UEFA Super Cup Youngest Scorer Record?
The record belongs to Brian Madjo of Aston Villa, who scored against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup at 17 years and 212 days old.
His goal moved him ahead of Alexandre Pato among the competition’s youngest scorers and made Madjo the first player under the age of 18 to score in UEFA Super Cup history.
For Aston Villa, it was a memorable moment on the European stage. For Madjo, it was a historic goal that placed the 17-year-old into the UEFA record books.
