The only 17-year-old Brian Madjo immediately made a name for himself during his first official appearance for Aston Villa on Wednesday evening. In the Uefa Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain, the talented striker scored his first goal for the English club, successfully ending a months-long period of uncertainty. Although Aston Villa lost 2-1 to the French champions in Salzburg, Madjo attracted the attention of both supporters and trainer Unai Emery with his accuracy and calm play.

Madjo joined Aston Villa in January after a move from French side Metz, but international transfer rules for minors prevented him from playing until early August. The club fought for months for his right to play until justice was finally achieved through the international sports tribunal. Partly thanks to his London-born background, Villa managed to secure an exceptional position for Madjo.

With the absence of basic players such as Ollie Watkins and Tammy Abraham, Madjo was given the opportunity to prove himself in the starting line-up. The England youth international, who previously played for Luxembourg and scored four times in nine matches for England Under 17s, delivered on his promise. In the first half he scored with a volley after a cross from John McGinn, canceling out Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's opening goal. During the first half, Madjo came dangerously close to scoring a second goal twice, but the real reward came with his first official goal. PSG ultimately prevailed after a goal by Desire Doue, approved after a VAR check.


Unai Emery, coach of Aston Villa, showed afterwards that he had confidence in the young striker: "He has earned this opportunity through his efforts, not only as a striker but also defensively. Madjo showed against strong opponents such as Marquinhos that he is not only at a physical level, but also mentally."

In addition to the win for Madjo, the match provided further insights for Emery, who has to make choices towards the start of the season in the Premier League. Aston Villa is in a busy placetransfer period in which big names such as Morgan Rogers (to Chelsea for a record amount) and Youri Tielemans (Manchester United) have already left, and the future of players such as Ezri Konsa is uncertain. In any case, Madjo gives the staff more options in the front line, something that becomes especially relevant now that competition for the striker position is increasing.

Madjo's performance against PSG raises high expectations for the coming season as Aston Villa, back in the Champions League, aims for both domestic and international success. Madjo's debut, where he easily held up under heavy pressure, could well mark the start of a new phase in his career and at Villa.

What's happening now

With his impressive debut, Madjo can become a regular in Aston Villa's attack. The club will now look at how they can support his development, especially with the challenges that the Premier League and Champions League bring. It is expected that his performances in the Uefa Super Cup will attract the attention of other clubs, which could increase the pressure on him to perform consistently.
