Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt will face each other in the UEFA upper Cup. It will be the first official match of the season for Real Madrid, while Eintracht Frankfurt seeks improvement after a tough defeat against Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid Preview & Team News
After winning five of their six group games, Los Blancos dispatched PSG (3-2), Chelsea (5-4), and Manchester City (6-5) in the knockout phase – before beating Liverpool (1-0) in the final. Let’s not forget that Real Madrid also won the La Liga title last term, losing just four of their 38 games to finish 13 points clear of second-place Barcelona. Having secured a memorable La Liga-Champions League double last season, it is no surprise that Carlo Ancelotti’s side is a heavy favorite to triumph in Helsinki. Vinicius Junior is a football magician, he is only 22 years old, he has great dribbles, and the opposing defenders have no solution to stop this guy.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview & Team News
As for Eintracht Frankfurt, they punched their ticket to the Super Cup via the Europa League – claiming their second title after winning the UEFA Cup in 1979/80. The Germans enjoyed an unbeaten group stage, picking up three wins and three draws. After that, they dispatched Real Betis (3-2), Barcelona (4-3), and West Ham (3-1) before beating Rangers on penalties. However, the Eagles endured a below-par domestic campaign – winning just ten of their 34 Bundesliga games to finish twelfth. They also suffered a heavy 6:1 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga opening round, and they need to do much better here.
