The Biggest Surprises in the History of the UEFA Super Cup

Tottenham Hotspur were just two agonizing minutes away from becoming the first UEFA Europa League-winning team since 2018 to defeat the Champions League holders in the European Super Cup. However, normal service was resumed when it comes to Tottenham and trophies. Normal service was also resumed when it comes to who usually wins the UEFA Super Cup.

The world is healing and soon enough global warming will probably start reversing itself. On paper it seems normal that the Champions League winners would come out on top, and since 2010 only three Super Cups have been won by the Europa League holders, but it wasn’t always this way. So let’s do some procrastinating of the actually important tasks in our lives and take a look throughout the history of the European Super Cup and celebrate all the times the underdog came out on top.

The idea of a European supercup was proposed by Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp during the golden age of Ajax’ total football team. He probably wanted to see them win even more trophies. The first match was held in 1972 when Ajax defeated Rangers but UEFA did not recognize this as an official game since Rangers were banned from European competitions due to the behaviour of their fans at the European Cup Winners' Cup final.
