Los Blancos currently have four Super Cups to their name - one fewer than AC Milan and arch rivals Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti has gone with what is rapidly becoming his first choice XI with Fede Valverde now apparently the starter on the right of the attack after the Uruguayan's transformation from midfield. Still, it's a cup game, a one-off, 11 against 11 etc and few would have tipped Oliver Glasner's side to win the Europa Leage last season, when they saw off Betis, Barcelona and West Ham en route the final. We want to play out from a compact defence and play with confidence, great passion, great willingness to run and great spirit. They do take a few on the road with them. Frankfurt are pushing now and Ancelotti is frantic on the touchline as his defence fail to pick up a lone black shirt at a corner. Jesper Lindstrøm gets clear and warms the gloves of Courtois with a decent effort but the flag is up. It's going to be a lonely furrow being ploughed up top for the Colombian this evening. Kroos delivers the corner from the previous save and Benzema arches a header towards goal. And there's the whistle! Valverde does well on the right to tee up Rodrygo, who has been lively since coming on, but Frankfurt manage to clear. And there is the whistle!

Live updates from the UEFA Super Cup 2022 in Finland where winners of Champions League and Europa League meet.

Can anyone stop Real Madrid? Their veteran team -- managed by the legendary Carlo Ancelotti -- opened their season in style with the UEFA Super Cup.

Eintracht Frankfurt: The Super Cup loss caps a chastening week for the German side, especially after losing 6-1 at home to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in their 2022-23 season opener. With Real Madrid's win, Carlo Ancelotti has tied Luis Molowny with the third-most trophies won by a manager in club history. The German was often questioned last season, with many fans calling for the more dynamic Eduardo Camavinga to take his place and some speculation that this could be his last year at the club. After working miracles this season, the pressure this year will be just as great -- there's no respite from the need to win trophies at Real Madrid, ever -- and Ancelotti will deal with it as he always has, with unflappable calm. There were one or two issues in defence but then we had a lot of chances to score with a larger margin. But the important thing is to win with a clean sheet, it's our third final in 2022 and our third clean sheet, that's very important." Carlo Ancelotti, the man who was as surprised as anyone to end up back in charge of Real Madrid last summer, added another trophy to his extensive collection here. Last season was Benzema's best-ever scoring campaign, with 27 goals in LaLiga and a remarkable 15 in the Champions League, and in preseason so far, he's shown no signs of letting up. We didn't take risks, we didn't play a game with super intensity but I think we had good control." There were also some clever tweaks to the team when the German side looked like getting on top in the first half, switching Valverde inside to give Madrid another body in central midfield. This is a strong, well-balanced Real Madrid squad and while repeating last year's glorious LaLiga and Champions League double is a tall order, you wouldn't want to bet against it either. Madrid's control of the middle of the pitch was key here, dominating possession and leaving Frankfurt chasing shadows.

David Alaba and Karim Benzema scored the goals as Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup for a record-equalling fifth time.

Oliver Glasner, Frankfurt coach: "We improved compared to our last game [against Bayern], but Real Madrid have two or three great chances against every opponent in the world and then we conceded the opening goal after a corner. Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper:"We could have scored one or two more in the first half and also in the second half. Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach: "The opening goal was a loose ball at the far post. Our plan was to try and get crosses into that specific area because our analysis told us that they were weaker on the back post generally. The European champions not only coped but excelled against a brand of football they don't usually enjoy. The game opened up as Frankfurt pressed to get back into the contest.

Goals from David Alaba and Karim Benzema gave Real Madrid a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and a fifth UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

The match also highlighted the growing gap between the Champions League and Europa League competitions, with Madrid being the ninth Champions League team to win the competition in the past 10 years. Only city rivals Atletico Madrid have won the Super Cup when qualifying via a Europa League win in the past decade, having done so by beating Real in the 2018 edition. After the goal, Madrid stepped it up a gear and should have gone 2-0 up, with Benzema uncharacteristically dragging the ball wide with the goal begging in the 41st minute.

The club and Carlo Ancelotti want to defend their Champions League crown this season.

And their all-conquering, suave Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti is convinced that Real can emulate the brilliance of last season. Madrid was often stretched thin, paddling for the end, surviving the most improbable of scenarios and manufacturing comebacks that were almost ridiculous. First, there was the CR7-powered era when Madrid was never more than the sum of its part, but still won, claiming four crowns in five seasons. It was a first-half full of little thrills and a number of big opportunities for the 2022 Champions League winner. It was a bit too easy for the Spanish side, even if Frankfurt is a formidable enough side, who kept the nucleus of its Europa League-winning squad together and will feature in this season’s Champions League. Madrid is used to - up to the point where all their conquests and victories have even become confounding.

Madrid's 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in Helsinki secured the club's fifth Super Cup trophy in its history.

Alaba prodded the opener home from close range in the 37th minute when Casemiro cushioned Benzema’s header back after a corner. The three veterans embraced warmly when they met before kickoff. Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp produced a fine save to stop the next Vinícius Júnior effort in the 37th, but Madrid scored from the resultant corner when Benzema and Casemiro combined to give Alaba an easy finish.

Karim Benzema and David Alaba have scored in each half for Real Madrid to win the UEFA Super Cup with a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The three veterans embraced warmly when they met before kickoff. Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp produced a fine save to stop the next Vinícius Júnior effort in the 37th, but Madrid scored from the resultant corner when Benzema and Casemiro combined to give Alaba an easy finish. Their only other competitive game was the 1960 European Cup final, when Alfredo Di Stéfano scored three goals and Ferenc Puskás chipped in with four to give Madrid a 7-3 win and fifth consecutive European crown.

Real Madrid continued its haul of European trophies after topping Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.

Frankfurt will be hoping to brush both this loss and the loss to Bayern aside in hopes of returning to Europe’s biggest games in 2023. Madrid had won the former competition after beating Liverpool while Frankfurt defeated Scottish side Rangers F.C. in penalties to win the latter. On a corner kick, two headers found Alaba in front of a wide-open net, and he easily slotted it home with his dominant foot.

They are favorites in La Liga, as they seem set to once again battle it out with Barcelona at the top of the table, while trying to contend in the Champions ...

From back in the day with Gheorghe Hagi and Fernando Redondo to Ronaldo, Fabio Cannavaro and Mesut Ozil, they don't shy from spending money to get the guys they want from the latest global showcase. From top to bottom, they are far and away the best squad in the league, they'll build a double-digit lead by Christmas and have no problem holding on. Here's a bold prediction, not only do I think they will win the league again, edging Barcelona by around five points but that they'll do it in style. They seem to always find a way, but come the end of this campaign, a more effective team across two legs will bounce them within inches of a spot in the final. Last season, he grabbed a career-high 44 goals in 46 games and put together a run in the Champions League that was legendary, including back-to-back hat tricks as he led his side to the trophy As a result, I think we see Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger start the majority of the games during the key parts of the season, with David Alaba splitting time there and at fullback.

There has been one question that has left fans of European football scratching their heads this summer: just how is Barcelona signing all of these players?

"First, we have to register the players we have signed and resolve the futures of the players not in the manager's plans [before signing more players]," Laporta added. "We'll have to see when Karim [Benzema] returns how we can play with Eden, but they are questions for the coach. I think we have to have a lot of good players and whenever players arrive with this quality, it always helps us. "In recent years, we've had a good dressing room with good people, they are friendly. So I think there are no longer any problems." It's a very calm dressing room and it's very easy to be with the players. "It is a controlled risk. I hope we don't have to do anymore. It's a bit strange, a bit crazy." that Barcelona was still around $40 million short of being able to register all of its new signings, meaning it is now likely the club will have to activate its fourth "lever," the sale of another 24.5% of the club's stake in Barça studios. If we have to recover the plan of [selling further club assets], we will weigh it up, but we believe we can register the new signings with this deal. I don't know how they do it.

In the chasing pack, Roma are given a 30.18 per cent chance of a top four spot and Stats Perform AI believes Mourinho's men are the likeliest team to finish in one of the two Europa League places, with no team given a greater chance than the Giallorossi's 19.58 per cent. That leaves Lazio with a 17.09 per cent chance of seventh and a Europa Conference League spot, though Fiorentina (11.10), Hellas Verona (8.45) and Sassuolo (8.34) are not counted out entirely. Only four teams are given a zero per cent chance of relegation, which unsurprisingly is last season's top four. Atalanta have a 20.64 per cent chance of getting back into the top four, though are still deemed likely to improve on last season's eighth place as favourites for sixth and qualification for the Europa League (18.56 per cent). Napoli are deemed to have a 13.75 per cent chance, with no other team being considered to have any more than a two per cent chance, including Jose Mourinho's Roma at 1.99 per cent. Napoli could be the most at risk after losing several key players since the end of last season, including Kalidou Koulibaly, Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens, but they are still given a 73.09 per cent chance of Champions League qualification.

The Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt legends contested the historic 1960 European Cup final.

Meanwhile, Stinka was a key cog in the German outfit's midfield and featured in every game in that tournament. Five-goal Stein was Eintracht's top scorer in that European campaign and netted a brace in the showpiece against Real Madrid. The trident featured in that historic encounter, in which Real Madrid ran out 7-3 winners to caputre the club's fifth continental crown.

If he gets back into his best form it will transform the team, their confidence, ignite the passionate fans and frighten the opposition. Last the season? Mikel Oyarzabal is the star of this Real Sociedad side but the Spain international has not played since tearing an ACL in March and is not yet close to a comeback. They are among a pocket of clubs outside of Madrid, Barca and Atletico who could compete for the top four, but it will be tough for them to maintain their form over a 38-game league season while dealing with Europa League fixtures as well. They have a good coach in Michel and a good mix of youth and experience in their squad. It was third-time lucky for Girona as they returned to LaLiga last season for the first time since 2019. From a 12th-place finish in their first season back to 17th last year, they are among the favourites for the drop this time. If some or all of the new signings are left kicking their heels until January, unregistered to play in anything except the Champions League due to LaLiga's financial fair play rules, then the club will be embroiled in a vastly embarrassing and damaging storm of finger-pointing and humiliation. Barcelona will fare better for an almost infinite number of reasons -- including the fact that, last season, they were often hapless and embarrassingly vulnerable. Going into his fourth campaign in Spain, Atletico have high hopes that this will finally be the season he takes his game to the next level. One-club man Muniain is everything to this Athletic team -- creative hub, set-piece specialist, captain and soul -- and his ability to continue that form will be crucial to their chances of pushing further up the table. The promoted sides ( Almeria, Real Valladolid and Girona) will also fight to ensure their stay isn't just for one season.

Club president Joan Laporta has said that his club will be able to register its new signings but two days before the home opener at Camp Nou, Barcelona has yet to officially register Lewandowski and its other new players with the league. The deadline is the end of August to play in the 2022-23 league season. With Barcelona still holding 1 billion euros ($1 billion) in debt, it has seen its salary cap shrink dramatically. Those three signings cost the club 160 million euros ($165 million). Barcelona also bulked up in defense with Andreas Christensen and in midfield with Franck Kessie, who arrived as free agents. We’ve won one title and we’re aiming for the next five.” “When you’re successful, it’s difficult to do it again,” Madrid defender Dani Carvajal said after the victory over Frankfurt. “We’re going to fight for everything.
