Real Madrid won their fifth UEFA Super Cup to become the most successful team in the competition, starting the season with an authoritative performance against Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt showed excessive respect to the European champions and could not overcome the goals from David Alaba and Karim Benzema. Real Madrid consistently wins every final they play, displaying commendable self-confidence. With no new faces or adjustments, they rely on the same leaders: the savior Thibaut Courtois and the lethal Vinicius-Benzema connection. Their legendary midfield dominance adds another achievement to their extensive record. Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid is a safe bet in big games.
