UEFA SUPER CUP: Chelsea vs Villarreal (10pm)

[Mishale]

UEFA SUPERCUP

The UEFA Super Cup is an annual super cup football match organised by UEFA and contested by the winners of the two main European club competitions; the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

Champions League winners = Chealsea & Europa League winners = Villareal

Match Stats

• This will be Chelsea's 50th game against Spanish opponents in European competition, but the first time they have faced Villarreal in competitive action.
• Villarreal are unbeaten in their last 15 European games, the most recent three coming against English opponents in last season's Europa League. Having beaten Arsenal in the semi-final they edged Manchester United on penalties in the final following a 1-1 draw.
• Chelsea have lost only two of their last 12 games against Spanish opponents in European competition, including six unbeaten encounters during their Champions League-winning run.
• This is the 18th consecutive Super Cup game involving an English or Spanish team, with 2003 the last time neither country figured as AC Milan beat Porto 1-0.
• Chelsea will be appearing in the Super Cup for a fifth time. Since winning their first in 1998 against Real Madrid, the Blues have failed to lift the trophy in each of their last three attempts.
• Villarreal could become the sixth Spanish team to win the Super Cup, a new record for the most different teams from a single nation to have won the trophy.
• Edouard Mendy kept nine clean sheets for Chelsea in the 2020-21 Champions League; the most by a goalkeeper in their debut season in the competition.
• Gerard Moreno was directly involved in 10 goals in 12 games for Villarreal in the 2020-21 Europa League.
• The last English player to score or assist in a Super Cup final was Gary Cahill, who scored for Chelsea in their 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in 2012.
• Samuel Chukwueze made four assists for Villarreal in the Europa League last season.

Fact: Many Zebras will be supporting the ones that collected Europa League from them (sad but next one Zebras will be the one lifting the trophy.)

I as Chelsea would like us to bag in one trophy at the beginning of the season to give us the momentum we need.

Fvcking boorish game.

 

[Mwalimu-G]

It's Chelsea's.....not impressive though.

For me that strategy for changing keepers before penalties was just confusing to me. Chelsea won but they should have just let Mendy take in the pressure for this game.
