The pre game
The first European trophy of the season will come into play on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. in Helsinki, Finland with the European Super Cup between Real Madrid, winners of the Champions League, and Eintracht Frankfurt, winners of the Europa League.
Winner of the Champions League for the 14th time in its history last May, Real Madrid leaves with the favors of the predictions to try to win the 5th European Super Cup in its history. The Madrid club would thus join AC Milan and its eternal rival FC Barcelona among the most successful clubs in the history of the competition.
For this duel against Frankfurt, Real Madrid will be able to count on a full core with Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard. Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid coach, could add a fourth Super Cup to his record as a coach, which would make him the most successful coach ahead of Pep Guardiola (3). Opposite, Frankfurt will play him the very first European Supercup in its history thanks to his victory in the Europa League last May.
Beaten 1-6 by Bayern Munich last Friday at the opening of the German championship, Eintracht did not prepare for its Supercup in the best conditions. If successful, the German club would become the first Europa League winning club to win the European Super Cup after Atlético Madrid in 2010, 2012 and 2018. The European Super Cup is a competition played in one match, since 1998, between the winner of the Champions League and the winner of the Europa League.
Until 1999, this match opposed the winner of the C1 to the winner of the Cup Winners’ Cup. After the disappearance of the latter, it is the winner of the UEFA Cup, which became the Europa League in 2009, who disputes the Supercup.
