Ahead of the tie, most football enthusiasts predicted that the Italian side who defeated unbeaten German Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa League could do the same against the Spanish giants.

The spot-light was on Kylian Mbappe who completed his free transfer to his dream club this summer from Paris Saint Germain. The 25-year-old French striker shared the spot-light with Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman, who scored a hat-trick to win the Europa League for Atalanta last season.

As expected, Mbappe shone brighter by playing a vital role in ensuring that Champions League-winning teams extend their superiority over Europa League-winning teams in the UEFA Super Cup to 29 wins, a nine-win difference.
