History seems to be in Real Madrids favour ahead of our UEFA Super Cup clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The mantra: “Real Madrid don’t play finals, they win them” is evident in the fact that we have won 16 trophies from 18 finals since 2014.

As a matter of fact, we have the best win ratio of any club in Europe when it comes to cup finals

We will be looking to win our 17th final since 2014 and fifth European Super Cup when we take on Frankurt in Helsinki next week.

Only Atletico Madrid have been able to beat us in a final during this period. They did it in the 2014 Supercopa de Espana and then again in the 2018 European Super Cup.

Here’s a look at how Europe’s elite clubs have fared in finals:

Barcelona: 10 wins from 15 finals
Atletico Madrid: 3 wins from 6 finals
Sevilla: 4 wins from 12 finals
Bayern Munich: 13 wins from 17 finals 
Liverpool: 6 wins from 12 finals
Manchester City: 9 wins from 13 finals
PSG: 19 wins from 22 finals 
Chelsea: 6 wins from 15 finals
Juventus: 8 wins from 17 finals
