Real Madrid Sets Multiple Records After Winning the UEFA Super Cup
On August 15, 2024, Real Madrid achieved a significant milestone by establishing numerous records following their 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup held in Warsaw, Poland. This triumph propelled Real Madrid to the forefront, surpassing Barcelona and AC Milan, with their sixth Super Cup win (2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022, and 2024). The victory solidified their place as the team with the most UEFA Super Cup titles, despite previous losses in 1998, 2000, and 2018.
The veteran duo Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric have become the most successful players in the history of the UEFA Super Cup, having been part of all five of Real Madrid’s victories since 2014. They have surpassed legends like Dani Alves, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, and Paolo Maldini, each with four wins. Additionally, Carvajal and Modric hold the record for the most Super Cup appearances since the format changed to a single match in 1997. Meanwhile, coach Carlo Ancelotti has cemented his legacy with five Super Cup titles, making him the most successful manager in the competition’s history.
