It becomes a habit.
Real Madrid is once again on the roof of Europe.
The last winner of the Champions League faced this Wednesday evening Eintracht Frankfurt, defending champion in the Europa League, for the European Supercup.
He demonstrated his superiority, winning 2-0 in Helsinki.
What you must remember
Real Madrid didn't flinch to win another title.
However, for a few minutes, the Germans believed it.
Authors of a good start to the match, they could have taken the advantage from the 14th minute, if Thibaut Courtois had not been imperial in one against one against Daichi Kamada.
As expected, Real Madrid then took over.
A 37th-minute header from David Alaba, which capitalized on a poor Kevin Trapp exit, gave Carlo Ancelotti's men the lead.
An advantage they will never let go.
Dominating and serene, they made a strong impression for the first official match of the season.
The big favorite for the Ballon d'Or, Karim Benzema, doubled the mark in the 65th.
The people of Madrid then remained focused until the last moments of the meeting.
Without being scared, they were even able to grant Frenchman Aurélien Tchouaméni his first minutes of play at Real Madrid, and won the 2022 European Supercup hands down.

Man of the match: Karim Benzema
It is inevitable.
Karim Benzema once again splashed the meeting with his talent.
Involved and comfortable throughout the game, the Frenchman concretized his good performance with his 324th goal in the jersey of Real.
In the 65th minute, he found the back of the net for Eintracht Frankfurt, helped by the shaky hand of Kevin Trapp.
An achievement that allows him to overtake Raul, and become the second top scorer in the history of the club.
He will never catch up with the irreplaceable Cristiano Ronaldo, who sits at the top of the rankings with 450 goals, but enters a little more in the history of the club.
On October 17, he should, without a doubt, win his first Ballon d'Or.
High point of his career at 34, before aiming for the World Cup with the Blues.
The number: 6
6 trophies in one season: this is the rather crazy goal in which Real Madrid is embarking.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti does not hide it, he who brought the Merengues to their 14th Champions League.
“Winning all 6 titles?
It's possible.
We will fight for absolutely all competitions.
We will compete and fight,” he said before the game.
This Wednesday evening, Real Madrid won their 5th European Super Cup.
First title in the pocket of the season, he will attack his 2022-2023 edition of La Liga with a trip to Almeria.
The declaration
“We are very happy with the victory and to have won this title today.
We are relaunching the season well, ”reacted Eduardo Camavinga hotly after the meeting, at the microphones of Canal +.
The midfielder is also thinking of the possible sextuplet that his team is aiming for.
“The objective is to win everything, and we will work hard to do so.
Personally, I want to do even better than last year, play more and lift all the trophies.

The former Rennais also had a word about his new team-mate Aurélien Tchouaméni: "Things are going really well with Aurélien, he has integrated very well, so I'm very happy for him".
