Bayern, who won the treble last season, got the job done in a 2-1 victory. This was their fourth trophy in 2020.

In this hard-fought encounter, Sevilla took the lead from the penalty spot on 13 minutes when Lucas Ocampos scored an outrageous "no look" penalty. Bayern equalized before the break, with Leon Goretzka scoring from Robert Lewandowski's superb touch. Both teams had chances to seal the deal but things went into extra time. Substitute Javi Martinez scored a header in the 104th minute.

Atletico Madrid won UEFA Europa League 2018

Antoine Griezmann scored twice as Atletico Madrid swept aside Marseille in Lyon to win the Europa League for the third time in nine years. France forward Griezmann opened the scoring by punishing Andre Zambo Anguissa's poor touch to coolly slot home, then casually dinked in a second. Captain Gabi drilled in the third goal late on as Atletico again lifted the trophy they also won in 2010 and 2012.

Another success for Diego Simeone and Atletico, and another success for Spain in the Europa League. Eight of the past nine winners of European competitions have been Spanish – and Read Madrid could make it nine out of 10 in Kiev next week.

La Liga has also provided nine winners of the Europa League in the past 15 years and this was a third in nine seasons for Atletico, two of them under Simeone. It was not a final that will live long in the memory. Atletico played as they tend to at their best, holding their opponents at arm’s length, spoiling when they need to, and winning comfortably without really seeming to extend themselves.

Atletico have been one of Europe's most consistent teams in recent seasons, breaking Barcelona and Real Madrid's stranglehold on La Liga by claiming the title in 2013-14. Second in the Spanish top flight with one match remaining, they are on course for a top-three finish for the sixth straight season and have appeared in two Champions League finals in that period, losing on both occasions to city rivals Real.

Real Madrid won UEFA Super Cup 2016

The 2016 UEFA Super Cup was the 41^st edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual Football match organized by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the two main European Club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match featured Real Madrid, the winners of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League and Sevilla, the winners of the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League.

It was played at the Lerkendal Stadion in Norway. Real Madrid won the match 3-2 after extra time. In the 21^st minute Marco Asensio scored the opening goal for Real Madrid with a strike from the 25 yards out which flew into the top left corner of the net. Franco got the equalizer in the 41^st minute when he scored with a low left foot shot from just inside the penalty area.

Sevilla were awarded a penalty in the 72^nd minute when Sergio Ramos was adjudged to have fouled Vitolo by flicking back his leg inside the penalty area. Yevhen scored from the resulting penalty with a low shot to his left sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. In the 93^rd minute Sergio Ramos scored with a free header from two yards out after a cross from Lucas.

In the 119^th minute Dani Carvajal got into the penalty box after a long run down the right and scored when he lifted the ball with the outside of his right foot over the goalkeeper. This was the third time Sevilla lost in UEFA Super Cup final. In 2014 they lost by Real Madrid and in 2015 by Barcelona. This was the third time Real Madrid has won UEFA Super Cup. 

UEFA Europa League 2016

Sevilla continued their reign as kings of the UEFA Europa League as a rousing second half fight back proved too much for Liverpool at Basel and secured them an unprecedented third straight title in the competition and a record extending fifth overall.

Sevilla were in their third successive final whereas Liverpool had not appeared in a European showpiece for nine years, yet there was little sign of nerves from the English newcomers. Emre Can forced the first save of the evening from David before ten minutes had been played, then Daniel Carrico acrobatically cleared a Daniel Sturridge header off the line. Roared on by a fair portion of crowd, Liverpool kept coming, with Soria quickly off his line to block another Sturridge effort.

Captain Marvel and Sevilla hero, Coke is not a natural goal scorer. His 169 games for Sevilla before tonight brought a grand total of 13 goals. A right back by trade, he has been used in midfield this term and twice he turned up in the right place at the right time. Disappointed to be a substitute last season, here he scored two and lifted the trophy. Eight of the last 13 teams to lift this trophy have been from the Liga and this triumph was tenth in all.

Spain surpasses Italy as the leading nation in the competition history. It is a similar story in the European Cup, where Real Madrid and Atletico will face in ten days, time to become the fifth Spanish winner in eight seasons.
