List of UEFA Super Cup Winners

List Of UEFA Super Cup Winners

The UEFA Super Cup is an annual association football competition contested between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, which was established in 1972. It was previously contested between the winners of the European Cup (or UEFA Champions League since 1993) and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup until 1999, when the latter was discontinued by UEFA. The last Super Cup in this format was the 1999 UEFA Super Cup between Lazio and Manchester United, which Lazio won 1–0. The competition was originally played over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, but since the 1998 edition, it has been a single match played at a neutral venue, the Stade Louis II in Monaco. From 2013, the competition will leave Monaco and take place at a different stadium across Europe.

Milan hold the record for the most victories, winning the competition five times since its inception. They are also the only team to have retained the UEFA Super Cup, doing so in 1990, after winning the previous competition in 1989. Barcelona have played the most number of finals (eight) and hold the distinction of being runners-up the most times (four). Bayern Munich have played the most Super Cup without winning (three). Spanish teams have won the competition the most times, with ten wins. The current champions are Atlético Madrid, who beat Chelsea 4–1 to win the 2012 UEFA Super Cup.

Famous quotes containing the words list, cup and/or winners:

    Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.
    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
