Today in Estonia will be the 43rd edition of the European Super Cup, Real Madrid – Atletico derby.

The duel will be held in the capital Tallinn at 21:00 and will be led by Polish referee Szymon Marciniak.

Real Madrid is known at this meeting after the trophy won in the Champions League, where under the guidance of coach Zinedine Zidane, the “merengues” team secured the third consecutive cup in this event, defeating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev, while Atletico on the other hand here thanks to the triumph in the Europa League, where the whites beat Marseille with a deep 3-0 score.

It was the third trophy in the last nine years for “Los Colchoneros” and the second personal for Argentinian coach Diego Simeone, who in 2012 defeated and with the same figures Athletic Bilbao and Bielsas. Spanish dominance is obvious, as this is the fourth time in the last five years when two clubs in this country face exactly the European Cup final, so it is certain that whatever happens in the Estonian capital Spain will collect the ninth trophy over the last decade in this competition.

During this period Atletico has won two Super Cups, defeating Inter and Chelsea, while Real counts three such as he defeated Sevilla twice, while a year ago in Skopje “Los Blancos” broke 2-1 Manchester United. Cristiano’s absence is expected to be felt after the Los Angeles striker scored 50 goals in the season, however, at the moment the weight at the center of the attack is expected to hold Benzema, while Simeone has nearly doubted Griezmann – Diego Costa.

In such matches influences the backdrop very well and Simeone has available a steel defense, moreover with Cristiano Ronaldo in the team Real did not win any of the last three confrontations between them./Flashsport24
