On Wednesday, August 16, in the Greek Piraeus at the stadium “Georgios Karaiskakis” will be held the match for the UEFA Super Cup (referee François Letexier from France). The winners of the Champions League (English Manchester City) and the Europa League (Spanish Sevilla) will traditionally meet in the fight for the trophy.

True, of the six previous attempts, only one was successful - in 2006 (a victory over Barcelona - 3: 0). But the rest invariably ended in failure - in 2007 (Milan - 1: 3), 2014 (Real - 0: 2), 2015 (Barcelona - 4: 5), 2016 (“Real” - 2:3) and 2020 (“Bayern” - 1:2).
Opponents before the reporting match managed to start in the national championships. Wards of Pep Guardiola defeated on the road the newcomer of the English Premier League “Burnley” - 3:0 (Holand, 4, 36, Rodri, 75), but the team of Jose Luis Mendilibar lost in the home match to “Valencia” - 1:2 (En- Nesiri, 69 - Diakabi, 60, Guerra, 88).
