Super cup games are like friendlies with a reward, especially a game where the UEFA champions league winners get to show how superior they are over the UEFA europa champions..
It has always been a nice and early time to claim not least because it’s a rare opportunity in any career.
The prize used to be the smallest of UEFA trophies at 42.5 centimeters tall but since 2006 , the new pot has been a more size able 58cm.
Chelsea will meet Villarreal today for the first time ever in the UEFA traditional play-off between last seasons prize-winners .
This 2021 UEFA LEAGUE CUP to be held in Belfast where we will see Chelsea, champions of Europe battle with Villarreal, the UEFA europa league winners after Manchester United lost to them on penalties . In Subsequent years, the super league cup has been taken seriously as Bayern Munich sort to see Sevilla loose on adding to their trophies winning by 2 goals to 1 after extra time. It generally has changed from being a mere friendlies to a serious Final match that should be taken without levity.
Boths Clubs “Chelsea and Villarreal” have shown their desire to win this as the teams have arrived at Belfast and are training so as to pick up the best lineup to face the other team today at 20:00pm WAT .
The lineups are not validated yet but each team went with a squad of 24men and have been training intensively ever since their arrival.
Facts : Chelsea has only won the super league cup once , in 1998 after winning the UEFA Cup winners cup . However, they have lost their three subsequent appearances in 2012 , 2013 and 2019.

Chelsea are looking to seal this off as well as the Villarreal too . The lineup will be made know as soon as decisions are made but Chelsea’s new signing Romelu Lukaku will not be taking part in this match as he hasn’t fully completed his signing and he hasn’t trained with the team.
