Super Cup final between Champions League holders Real Madrid and Europa League holders Eintracht Frankfurt at Helsinki Olympic Stadium, Finland. A single match, in the event of a draw, extra time will follow and if necessary, the penalty shootout.
Amazing year last year for Real Madrid, realizing one of the best in its history reached the conquest of the Champions League as well as the championship of Spain. In Europe, it initially left out Paris, Chelsea and Manchester City, while in the grand final, Liverpool won 1-0, winning the 14th title in its history in the competition.
At the same time, it won the 35th championship in its history with characteristic ease, since from the beginning it was consistently at the top of the standings and the title case never became a derby.
In the transfer market, he moved very little, after initially failing to get Bape, the additions were limited to the stopper Riedinger (Chelsea) and am. midfielder Tsouameni Monaco).
In the pre-season friendlies in the USA, they lost to Barcelona 1-0, beat Juventus 2-0 and drew 2-2 with Club America.
The coming Saturday sees the premiere of this year's championship, where they face the newly-enlightened Almeria away from home.
Eydacht may not have been able to make its presence felt in the domestic competitions, finishing in 11th place in the league and in the cup was left out early, its European course however can be described as dreamy! And how could it be otherwise since Oliver Glazner's team won the Europa League by defeating Rangers in the final and at the same time ensured its presence in this year's Champions League groups.
However, this year's championship did not start well, in the premiere it crashed at home against Bayern Munich 6-1 as in the first half the permanent champions of Germany had breached the goal 5 times!
Final, but not a big favorite. Real has of course the first say in the match as it is superior in talent and experience and for reasons of prestige it wants to start the year with a trophy. Eintracht, for its part, will go into the match without stress and whatever comes out, it still has the quality to give interest to the match.
