UEFA Super Cup: Real Madrid Defeat Frankfurt, Prize Money Revealed

Real Madrid defeated Frankfurt 2-0 in this year’s UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, August 10, 2022.

The one-off game is usually contested between winners of the Champions League and the Europa Cup.

Madrid, who defeated Liverpool in May to become European champions, dominated the entire game in Helsinki, scoring in either half.

David Alaba tapped into an empty net in the first half, before Karim Benzema connected with Vinicius Jr’s cutback after the break.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men will now turn their attention to their opening LaLiga fixture against Almeria on Sunday.

Frankfurt will be looking to bounce back from their 6-1 thrashing in the hands of Bayern Munich when they travel to Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

Also, UEFA will pay Real Madrid € 5 million for winning this year’s UEFA Super Cup ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The top European football governing body will also pay Eintracht Frankfurt €3,800,000 for losing the UEFA Super Cup final to Real Madrid, Bolavip reports.

In addition to these base values, both Real Madrid and Frankfurt will receive 25% of the profits obtained from the tickets sold, so the estimated prize for the winners is around €8 million, while the latter will receive an estimated €5 million.
