In 2014, it will be the 39th UEFA Super Cup match. This honorable trophy so far belongs to the winner of the Champions League 2012-2013 season Bayern Munich from Munich.
After the end of the 2013/14 European club football season, it became clear that Bayern Munich would not be able to take part in the UEFA Super Cup for the second year in a row. Last season's Champions League and Europa League winners are taking part in the game for the honorable football trophy. Thus, the German club lost its place in the Super Cup match to the winner of the last season of the Champions League Real Madrid and the triumphant Europa League - Sevilla
The 2014 UEFA Super Cup match will take place on 12 August in Wales at Cardiff City Stadium with a capacity of around 27,000. The match will feature two Spanish teams - Real and Sevilla. It is noteworthy that in 2014, FIFA chose a stadium in Wales to host an important match. Previously, the games were held in the Principality of Monaco.
Real Madrid won the right to compete for the trophy after winning the Champions League final over Madrid's eternal rival Atlético. The game ended in just 120 minutes. In extra time, the royal club was able to score three goals into the opponent's goal. The final score of the final is 4 - 1 in favor of Real Madrid.
The second contender for the UEFA Super Cup was the Spanish "Sevilla". This team only won a penalty shootout in the Europa League final over Portuguese Benfica.
It is very difficult to talk about the favorite of the upcoming match, since the teams are just beginning to prepare for the season, and some players are on vacation after participating in the World Cup. Everything will depend on which club will be better prepared for the match for the honorary trophy.
