In the midst of the pandemic, the Champions League and Europa League were held in an unusual format. The playoff rounds were played with one, not two, games. However, this does not detract from the merits of “Bavaria” and “Seville”. This did not facilitate their task and did not give them the right to call them lower tournament winners.
In fact, Bayern were the strongest in the Champions League. And “Sevilla” has traditionally shown character, endurance and invincibility in the Europa League. As a result, the teams will face off in a duel for the UEFA Super Cup, which should become a portal for the spectators to return to the stands.

Bayern Munich have won the European Cup / UEFA Champions League six times. But only once: the UEFA Super Cup. In 2013, Munich defeated Chelsea in Prague on penalties after a 2-2 draw in playing time. In 1975, 1976 and 2001, Bayern were inferior in this match tournament.
Once again, the final was not played because Bayern Munich and Magdeburg, who then represented the GDR, could not agree on the date and place of the matches. And here is another attempt, and the rivals are the team that participated in the UEFA Super Cup more often than Bayern Munich.
Sevilla have won the UEFA Cup / Europa League six times, making them a six-time UEFA Super Cup competitor in Budapest. But of the five above, only one was won before: in 2006, “Sevilla” charmingly beat “Barcelona” in “Luis II”.
On the way to this match, the Germans won the Champions League in a big way: six wins out of six in the group stage, the defeat of Chelsea, Barcelona and Lyon in the playoffs, a 1-0 win over the ambitious PSG in the final. … If there is a concept of an “ideal team”, then last season it was “Bayern” with their hat-trick closest to him.
The season was also good for Sevilla. In La Liga they managed to finish in the top 4 and secure their participation in the Champions League. In the LE group, the Nervionians allowed themselves a loss in the final round, but in the playoffs, Roma, Wolverhampton, Manchester United and Inter in the final passed in character.
Pre-match designs
Bayern have already started the 2020/21 Bundesliga. They started with a splendid 8-0 win over Schalke, without the injured Alaba and Kingsley Coman, who are in quarantine. We won’t see the Frenchman in the Super Cup match, but Alaba was preparing in the general group. Like Robert Lewandowski, who, however, had a tolerant regime. Monday’s training was skipped to properly distribute the load. The Pole will probably go to the Hungarian stadium lawn from the first minutes.
Goretzky and Davis had minor problems, but they were preparing in the general group. Well, you cannot fail to mention Thiago Alcantara. The Spaniard moved to Liverpool in the offseason.
Indicative composition
Neuer – Pavar, Boateng, Suhle, Kimmich – Goretzka, Tolisso – Sane, Mueller, Koman – Lewandowski
Sevilla have not yet played official matches in the new season. Lopetegui’s team managed to celebrate a friendly with Levante, and this weekend starts in the league with a visit to Cádiz.
Among the injured are not the main ones, Pablo Pérez and Sebastián Korschia. Aleish Vidal, Roque Messa and Amadou, who are looking for a new job, were also not included in the application. Ever Banega left Sevilla in the offseason. Another significant loss is the departure of Sergio Regilon, rented to “Real”. Newcomers to the team include Marcos Akunya and Ivan Rakitic. Akunya, like Munir, managed to recover from the coronavirus.
Indicative composition
Bunu – Jesus Navas, Diego Carlos, Kunde, Escudero – Rakitic, Hordan, Fernando – Suso, De Jong, Ocampos
Prediction – Bayern win 3: 1
It will be a productive match, without a doubt. The “Bavaria” will remain alone in any case, and the “Sevilla” will try somehow to surprise the rival without Banega and Regilon. There is an experienced Rakitic in midfield, but does he need time to adjust? The flank of the defense will definitely lose its mobility with the departure of Regilon. We predict the defeat of the Nervión team with a scored goal, but with a difference of two or three goals.
