- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Super Cup for the second consecutive year by defeating Aston Villa 2-1 on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the 20th minute with a powerful shot. Aston Villa equalized just before halftime when 17 year old striker Brian Madjo scored a volley from a John McGinn cross. The winning goal came in the second half from Desire Doue, whose strike was initially ruled out for offside but awarded after a video assistant referee review. The match was officiated by Somali referee Omar Artan, who was appointed by UEFA after being barred by the United States from officiating at the FIFA World Cup due to vetting concerns.
Brian Madjo made a historic debut for Aston Villa, becoming the youngest player to start and score in a UEFA Super Cup final. His appearance followed a legal battle with FIFA over registration rules for players under 18, which Villa eventually won through the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Villa manager Unai Emery has now lost four Super Cup finals across his career with different clubs. PSG, the back to back Champions League winners, will next face Lens in the Trophee des Champions on Sunday.
