Overview

The Super Cup is played between the Champions League winners and the Europa winners of the previous season. In the 2015/16 campaign, the Spanish capital clubs Real and Atletico Madrid faced each other in the final and it was the former who went on to win their record 11th European trophy.

It was for the second time in three years the two clubs faced each other in the Champions League final. The match ended in a 1-1 draw even after the extra time and the course of the match was decided by penalties, which was won by Real.

Sevilla, on the other hand, have made it to the Super Cup after winning their third consecutive Europa League last season. The Spanish side came from behind to beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 3-1 in the final in May.

Real won the last time these two sides faced together in the Super Cup. Sevilla will be hoping they can manage to get the better out of the La Liga giants in Trondheimon on Tuesday.
