Bayern Munich and Sevilla are titled teams by European competition standards, but in the Super Cup, both lost more than they won. The Spanish and the Germans only had one Cup each until today. Therefore, today this balance was doomed to collapse.
The match, among other things, is notable for the fact that, for the first time since the quarantine break, UEFA allowed fans to enter the stands. The sympathy of the public in Budapest was distributed roughly evenly between the teams, and the rivals, in turn, gave an interesting game.
Sevilla was the first to set the tone. Despite the activity of “Bavaria” at the beginning, the Spanish scored. From the penalty spot. Jesús Navas threw the ball into the penalty area from the side, De Jong threw it at Rakitic, and Alaba threw Alaba’s newcomer onto the pitch in the fight for the ball. Lucas Ocampos converted the penalty and inspired his teammates.
But inspiration is nothing against skill and sporting anger. “Bavaria” got under way and took Boone’s gates under siege. The young goalkeeper was so nervous that he was about to “score” a goal. And then he was lucky when Pavar, after Mueller’s discount, hit over the bar.
Although there were stops, it was then that the ubiquitous Muller hit the bottom and that Lewandowski jumped on a date with the goalkeeper. They held on, but the fragile defensive structure of “Sevilla” nevertheless collapsed under the onslaught of a German machine. Müller made a phenomenal pass from the depths to the penalty area to Lewandowski, the Pole threw the ball to Goretska, and Leon shot the frame without problems. After that, the game calmed down and returned to bright colors only after the break.
Bayern were already in full control of the situation, reminding Sevilla who exactly the strongest team in Europe is. And it would have been a strong argument if Lewandowski’s goal had been counted, phenomenal from the point of view of combinational work. The representatives of “Bavaria” were allowed short head passes one meter from the rival goalkeeper and the frame he was defending. Robert made a good shot, but from an offside position.
Sevilla hardly attack. More precisely, he attacked, but missed. Until the 80th minute, only two shots on goal, one of which was from the penalty spot. “Bavaria” had a bit of bad luck. They disallowed not only Lewandowski’s goal, but Sane’s goal as well, again due to an offside position. And even earlier, Leroy could score in the game on finishing moves, but he hit the defender’s leg. In that attack, Gnabry also hit hard on goal, but the Munich forces were scattered.
At the end of regulation time, Muller was leading his teammates, but despite the fresh and active game, Thomas can blame himself for missed moments. And if in the 88th minute En-Nesiri noticed a one-on-one exit during a counterattack, and even more so. Bayern could lose this game, but it would be illogical.
Although … Killing En-Nesiri already in extra time, when after his “poke” the ball hit the post, who would speak of logic? But Sevilla did not score, and it was extremely difficult to survive under pressure from Bayern before the penalty shoot-out. Kimmich did not score after Muller’s pass, but Martínez played well in the shot after the goalkeeper saved the goal from Alaba.
Then there were only episodes: Escudero’s opportunity, Lewandowski’s long-range blow. Bayern Munich had a perfect season last time, and this match was the finishing touch, too. Kings.
