Those famous boys dressed totally in white had greeted each other celebrating winning the Champions League against Liverpool. It was the end of last season and Real Madrid was writing another wonderful and winning page in its incredible history. Yesterday, in the European Super Cup, the Blancos confirmed the goodness of the initial prediction by taking the field as absolute favorites against Eintracht Frankfurt, who emerged victorious in the Europa League in the final, that yes, un-predictable, against Scottish Rangers. The Iberians asserted all their superior technical content by crashing the Germans 2-0.Carlo Ancelotti lifts this trophy for the fourth time in his career (two with AC Milan and two with Real), never has anyone won so many during his professional career on a bench.

Eintracht Frankfurt tried, at times frightening the highest-ranked opponents, but it was no use against the overwhelming power of the Spaniards. Real Madrid ruled the Germans with a goal in each half and also took the European Super Cup. Alaba opened the match, taking advantage of Benzema’s aerial bank on the development of a corner; at the second post Casemiro struck a header toward Alaba, who was adept at scoring the easiest of tap-ins in total solitude. The goal of the Iberian lead comes before a great intervention by Courtois. Gauntlet of Champions.
In the second half, the Teutonic side tried to get the game back on its feet, but midway through the second half it was the usual Benzema who stamped the match’s card by directing Real Madrid’s victory: Vinicius’ breakaway accelerated and served at the height of the penalty spot the Frenchman who left no chance for the opponent’s extreme defender with a first-time right-footed shot. It’s white apotheosis, it’s record for Carlo Ancelotti, who overtakes Pep Guardiola and becomes the coach to have won the UEFA Supercup the most times. Legendary.
