UEFA Super Cup 2018 Summary
The 2018 UEFA Super Cup was notable for several historic milestones and narratives surrounding the match. It marked the fifth time that the Super Cup was contested by two Spanish teams, and it was the fourth instance in the last five years. Additionally, this match was unique as it was the first Super Cup to feature two teams from the same city—Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, making it the first Madrid Derby in the history of the Super Cup.
Spanish dominance in the Super Cup was further highlighted by the fact that a Spanish team had appeared in nine of the previous ten Super Cups. As both finalists were from Spain, it guaranteed that the Super Cup would be won by a Spanish team for the ninth time in ten seasons and for the fifth consecutive year.
Real Madrid entered the match with the opportunity to win their fifth Super Cup, which would have tied them with Barcelona and Milan as the most successful clubs in the competition’s history. Having won the last two editions, they also had the chance to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Cups.
On the other side, Atlético Madrid, having won both of their previous Super Cup appearances, aimed to make history by becoming the first team to win their first three Super Cups.
The match also carried the weight of the Madrid Derby rivalry, with this being the tenth encounter between the two teams in European competitions. All previous nine matches had taken place in the UEFA Champions League, where Real Madrid held the upper hand with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats. Moreover, Real Madrid had never been eliminated by Atlético Madrid in a two-legged tie or a one-off match, adding another layer of intrigue to this historic Super Cup clash.
