29-1. It is not the result of a match between a top club and an amateur side. It is the number of Super Cups won by Madrid and United, respectively. A fact that underlines the difference in prior experience when it comes to big games.
Zidane's men add up 29 Super Cup wins in total without fail. In fact, a big portion of the squad know what it's like to win this title twice in the last three years.
The exact opposite for the Red Devils. De Gea is the only player to lift the trophy, when he did so with Atletico Madrid against Inter in 2010. It gets worse, as only the goalkeeper and Juan Mata have ever had the chance of winning this trophy.
Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Martial... many quality additions to lead United's new project. A team called to succeed as they improve with time, but for now carry the burden of an important lack of experience.
