Real Madrid

Real Madrid has won this cup four times. The problem is that the club has had a shorter preseason than the big European clubs usually do. In addition, the performance shown was not spectacular, and for some, it leaves doubts about the team’s capabilities.

Madrid started the preseason against Barcelona in a clash that they lost 0-1. Then there was the unexpected 2-2 against America of Liga MX. Finally, the match against Juventus on July 31 was his last game before preparation. Against Juve, Carlo Ancelotti gave clues to the starting eleven that he could present against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Karim Benzema has become the prominent leader of Madrid, the current captain, and Ballon d’Or 2022; he is also breaking historical records with the club.

Karim’s motto has always been that the team’s successes are the only thing that matters. Still, with so much time in Madrid, since 2009, the cataract of collective successes has made Benzema an indispensable figure to understand the history of Real Madrid.

Benzema is tied with Raul as Real Madrid’s second all-time leading scorer with 323 goals ahead of Cristiano and his all-time 451.

Real Madrid resumed training after a free Sunday that was not foreseen in the plans of the coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who rewarded his players for their excellent work in preparing for the European Super Cup final. They did one last training session in the club sports city, with all the players in perfect condition.

The entire squad will be part of the travel to Helsinki, according to Efe from Real Madrid. According to UEFA regulations, Carlo Ancelotti will have to make a final list of players for the game, but all the players have been summoned to dispute the first of the six titles to which the white club aspires this season.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt is the surprise team of the decade. Against all odds, they managed to be crowned champions of the Europa League in the previous season beating big clubs like Barcelona, which meant their third European title after the 1980 UEFA Cup and the 1967 Intertoto Cup.

The German team has been more active in the previous weeks with four preseason friendly matches in which they achieved three wins and one draw. In addition, they reached a comfortable 0-4 result against Magdeburg in the 1/32 final of the German Cup,

However, their start to the Bundesliga season has been fateful with a 1-6 win.

Against Real Madrid, they have only met once in history in the 1967 European Cup, in which they were defeated 7-3.

The club worked hard during the summer to ensure the permanence of their star Filip Kostic, the player has a contract until 2023, and it was all or nothing to secure his permanence or earn some money.

The Serbian was one of the pillars of the achievement of the Europa League, with 3 goals and 6 assists in the continental tournament.

Kostic was close to leaving Eintracht last summer for Lazio, and this season, again, reasonable offers came in for the player.

As reported by Romeo Agresti, the German club rejected a €20 million offer from West Ham for his star.
