Real Madrid beat Frankfurt to win UEFA Super Cup

David Alaba and Karim Benzema scored in each half on Wednesday as Real Madrid defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in Finland to win the UEFA Super Cup.

The winners of last season’s Champions League and Europa League faced off at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland where semi-automated offside technology was making its first appearance in European competition.

Benzema’s strike sees him become Real’s outright second-highest goalscorer of all time (324), ahead of Raul (323) but behind Cristiano Ronaldo (450).

Real Madrid, however, join AC Milan and rivals Barcelona in winning the UEFA Super Cup for a joint-record fifth time (2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022).

The club’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, becomes the most successful manager in the competition’s history with four titles (2003, 2007, 2014, 2022).
