You are at the right spot, for our comprehensive guide contains all the answers to your burning questions. Let’s dive right into it.
What is the UEFA Super Cup, and Who Qualifies for It?
The winners of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League were considered to be the rulers of European football due to their victories. But to determine who was the better of the two, the Super Cup came into existence after Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp came up with the brilliant idea. So, the reigning champions of these two leagues are automatically qualified for the Super Cup.
The club that conquers this cup is awarded a gleaming silver trophy that weighs 12.2kg with a height of 58cm. AC Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid have won this beautiful trophy more than any other clubs.
UEFA Super Cup Rules
The rules for the Super Cup are similar to that of the other league matches except for one. If the match stays at a draw after the 90-minute whistle, no extra time is added. Rather, it directly enters the penalty shootout stage.
