On August 10, 2022, Real Madrid was crowned once more super-champion d’Europe beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0. The final was played at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki (Finland), where our team had never played before. A goal from Alaba in the first half and another from Benzema in the second decided the match. Casemiro, who provided the first assist in the final, was elected MVP of this edition.
Real Madrid’s fifth European Super Cup only made the legends of Ancelotti and Benzema bigger. The Italian became the only manager to have won four times this competition (two with AC Milan and the same with Real Madrid). As for the French striker, he scored his 324th achievement and became the second top scorer in club history overtaking Raúl. “Ancelotti manages the squad very well and that’s one of the reasons for our success. Benzema already deserved the Ballon d’Or last season, this year it’s indisputable,” explained Florentino Perez following the coronation on the lawn of the Olympic stadium in Helsinki.
During the match, the two reinforcements of Real Madrid for this season 2022/23 have officially started : Rüdiger and Tchouameni. Both players won their first title in Finland as players of our club. Their teammates might not hide their joy. “I have four Supercups and this one is just as special. We had a pretty serious match,” said Carvajal. Courtois, who kept a clean sheet, also expressed his satisfaction: “I’m very happy. We also had opportunities to impose ourselves more widely”. Finally, Valverde, who won his first Super Cup, said: “We had a great game and we are leaving with one more title”.
