In the end, a predictable result: Champions League winner Bayern Munich beat European League winner Sevilla 2-1 to win the UEFA Super Cup and further underlined his prestige as the most productive club in Pero un ganador scored at the end of the first part of the extra time through replacement Javi Martinez , who failed to score in 24 games last season, which is not a predictable way for the eternal Bundesliga champion to win it.
Martinez was only on the field for five minutes when he returned after Bono stopped a shot from David Alaba. Martinez casually also scored in Bayern’s last Super Cup win, which led to consequences in the final minutes of extra time in 2013 against Chelsea. But it was in all likelihood the last match of the Spanish international for the club, with Martínez supposedly returning to Athletic Bilbao.
It had been a strange evening everywhere, mainly because of the presence of enthusiasts: 20,000 of them, socially distanced by the Puskas Arena in Budapest. The local mayor, fearing an outbreak of COVID-19, had called for the abandonment of the spree. Welcome because the presence of the spectators was in terms of spectacle, only in the coming days can we know if the move was a good fortune or not, if there is not a series of positive tests and very few. Enthusiasts have travelled from Munich, where there has been a recent outbreak of the virus; then, this may be offering a long-term vision in countries where the pandemic is under some control.
Another strange place was That of Bayern lagging behind on the scoreboard, Sevilla advanced in the 13th minute with a penalty of Lucas Ocampos, the only doubt about the penalty, granted when David Alaba broke into Ivan Rakitic by going head to Luuk De Jong backwards. goal, was that it was the kind of attack that is not penalized, in fact, it was even argued that it could have been just a red card: there had been no realistic attempt to play Alaba’s ball, so the only thing that Lo stored was probably the idea that Rakitic would not have reached his own touch and therefore was not a transparent opportunity to score goals. However, Ocampos, apparently hunting to his right to send Manuel Neuer the wrong way, shot his left to convert the penalty.
After that, it’s a history of Bayern dominance. Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski had had unusually presentable opportunities before Lewandowski’s deft dismissal knocked down Leon Goreztka for a tender end even in the 34th minute.
Bayern, who arrived here on Thursday with 22 consecutive victories in all competitions, are playing with ideal confidence right now and, while the arrogance of the Bundesliga’s first match on Friday, won 8-0 Schalke was not there, only a narrow offside rejected. . it’s a brilliant moment after a bold double in the area between Lewandowski and Muller.
The only thing that prevented a Bayern victory from seeming inevitable was the nature of Seville, which used to weather the storms and locate the winners. It would probably be an exaggeration to recommend that you can also win your first La Liga name since 1946 this season. With Real Madrid and Barcelona in what might be called the transition, it is imaginable that this brings the big two closer than they are used to being pushed.
Banega and Sergio Reguilon never moved to the appearance of the Europa League winners, and Jules Kounde was enjoyed through Manchester City, but Rakitic was inspired when he entered his time at the club. The strength of the club over the years has been its ability to regenerate, thanks in a giant component to its sporting director, Monchi, and remains as well organized as ever under the direction of Julen Lopetegui, who entered the game with a streak of 21 undefeated matches.
There was even a chance that Seville would win it two minutes from the end, as Youssef El-Nesyri played through Jesús Navas to be rejected by Neuer. declared offside if the ball had entered.
Once this possibility has passed (and as Lyon has learned, you cannot miss your chances against Bayern), the German force has returned to promotion. Perhaps Sevilla’s chances are worried – with Alphonso Davies coming out of the bank, Bayern were also not with all their strength, however, the chances of escaping were a feature of their game in this winning race. He keeps himself alone to score more than his opponent. And the fact is, I had enough chance of winning a lot more comfortably. offensive force, Bayern is an exceptional team.
