Uefa Super Cup News

The UEFA Super Cup match, between Chelsea and Villarreal, will be played in Belfast on the 11th of August. Istanbul was supposed to host the game as compensation for not being able to host the 2020/2021 Champions League final, which was switched to Porto because of coronavirus restrictions.

Turkey's Minister of Youth and Sports Mehmet Kasapoglu has confirmed that Istanbul will host both the 2023 Champions League final and the 2021 Super Cup. The Ataturk Olympic Stadium was set to host this year's Champions League final but it was shifted to Portugal with issues over COVID-19 protocols.

After a humiliating opening day defeat against Manchester United, few gave Chelsea a chance against Liverpool but the Blues fought tooth and nail. But, while they did eventually lose, manager Frank Lampard has revealed that he was pleased with the way his side fought against the Premier League side.
