The UEFA Super Cup is awarded each summer in a spotlight fixture between last season’s Champions League and Europa League winners.
First created in 1972, the Super Cup originally was contested by winners of the European Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup. After the discontinuation of the latter, the game was altered to feature the winners of the European Cup, now known as the Champions League, and the UEFA Cup, later rebranded as the Europa League. The trophy is not looked at as a major honor, though it’s one that is generally signified in historic seasons for teams like Manchester City and Bayern Munich after completing trebles.
