Real Madrid have won their fifth UEFA Super Cup following a 2-0 victory over Frankfurt at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium on Wednesday.
One goal from each half were enough to see off Frankfurt as Madrid add another Silverware to their trophy cabinet.
The Eagles sought to surprise Madrid in the opening minutes but were not sharp in front of goal. Courtois saved the first chance before making a one-on-one stop minutes later.
Frankfurt were not bad from there but they were just holding on.
Ancelotti’s men — the same starting XI that won the champions league in May oozed class. They assumed absolute control and dictated the game’s pace, as Frankfurt hangs on.
Alaba got the breakthrough in the 37th minutes after Oliver Glasner men were caught ball watching. The former Bayern Munich defender made no mistake in firing home the opener.
The norm these days is that Benzema was always going to score. He doubled the lead midway through the second half after Vinicius found him inside the box. His first time side foot effort troubled Trapp and slips into the back of the net.
The goal means Benzema has overtaken Raul to become Real Madrid’s second all time scorer.
