The UEFA Super Cup is the most important competition in Europe as it pits the champions of the two most important UEFA club competitions: the Champions League and the Europa League. The most recent conqueror is Real Madrid, who defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in Finland to become a five-time Champion of this tournament and match Barcelona and AC Milan as the most succesfull teams in this tournament.
The beginnings of the UEFA Super Cup must be traced back to 1973, when AFC Ajax and AC Milan played the first edition of a tournament that has been played almost continuously ever since. The only editions that were not played were those of 1974, 1981 and 1985. In other words, since this year it has been played without interruption.
Since 1973 this tournament has been defined with two first and second leg games, however since 1998 it has been played as a single match. On the other hand, the duel between the champions of the UEFA Champions League and those of the Europa League began in 1999, since before that it was the winners of the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cupand the UCL who disputed the title.
