Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt will come face to face in the match for the UEFA Super Cup. Who will win the trophy?
Real Madrid
In the extreme draw of the Spanish Cup, Real Madrid performed much below its capabilities, losing at the 1/4 finals stage to Athletic from Bilbao. But this misfire did not upset the "cream" much, as they succeeded in two more serious and prestigious tournaments. Firstly, they became champions of Spain, scoring 86 points and breaking away by thirteen from Barcelona, who finished second, and secondly, they won the Champions League, coping in the decisive match with Liverpool with a score of 1-0.
Eintracht Frankfurt
If Real Madrid has not yet held a single official match, then Eintracht already has two. At first, he successfully performed in the 1/32 final of the German Cup, defeating Magdeburg (4-0), and then opened a new Bundesliga championship, but the result turned out to be very unpleasant and painful - 1:6 from Bayern. As for the successes of last season, Eintracht managed to win the Europa League, being stronger than Rangers. In the main time, the teams scored a goal, in the extra time they managed without scoring shots, and in the penalty shootout the German club turned out to be better (5-4).
