Real Madrid on Wednesday won their fourth title in 2022 as the Galaticos defeated Eintracht Frankfurt to lift the UEFA Super Cup.
It was a vintage performance from Madrid, who got one goal from an extremely likely scorer and one from an unlikely source.
As reported by goal.com, David Alaba opened the scoring in the first half with a simple finish from close range, with Karim Benzema providing the exclamation point to seal another trophy to bring home to Madrid.
The match will also be a memorable one for new signings, Aurelien Tchoaumeni and Antonio Rudiger, who made their competitive debuts for their new clubs.
With the win, Real Madrid have now equalled the record for most UEFA Super Cup wins with five. The other two teams to lift the trophy that many times? AC Milan and, of course, Barcelona.
Real Madrid’s focus will now turn towards La Liga, which begins this weekend. Their title defence starts on Sunday with a visit to Almeria to begin a run of three games away from Santiago Bernabeu to begin the Spanish season.
