00:00Aston Villa may have lost the UEFA Super Cup to Paris Saint-Germain but there were plenty
00:07of positives for Unai Emery to take. He will be encouraged by a new look side
00:13that showed it can compete with the very best in Europe. The biggest positive was undoubtedly
00:21Brian Maggio, the 17-year-old striker, scored on his Villa debut in the 2-1 defeat, becoming the
00:30youngest scorer in the UEFA Super Cup's history. His goal was rewarded for an outstanding first
00:37half display in which he repeatedly caused problems for PSG's experienced defence.
00:46Maggio had already missed three chances before finally finding the net, but his response highlighted
00:54the confidence and character Emery believes can make a significant player for Aston Villa.
01:02He also impressed with his strength, movement and link-up play after half-time as well.
01:09Showing the growing depth in Villa's squads, PSG ultimately had too much quality in the end
01:16though, with Kritschka Kravic-Scalia and Desiree Douay scoring. But Aston Villa's performance
01:22offered genuine encouragement, especially fans who will be excited about the new season.
