Madrid become only the second team to win two consecutive Super Cups
Before Real Madrid's win against Manchester United, only one team had managed to win two European Super Cups in a row.
Ac Milan lifted the European Super Cup trophy in 1989 and 1990, both of them defending their position of European Cup champions, whose modern day equivalent is the Champions League.
Back then the Super Cup was a two-legged final, much alike the Copa del Rey in Spain continues to be. The Italian side beat Barcelona in 1989 (1-1 at the Camp Nou and 1-0 at San Siro), and Sampdoria in 1990 (1-1 in Genova and 2-0 at San Siro).
27 years later, a team does it again. Real Madrid, the first team to win the Champions League twice in a row, becomes the first team since Milan to do so with the UEFA Super Cup.
