On Wednesday, the eyes will be on the Vodafone Arena in the Turkish capital of Istanbul, which will be the scene of the 44th edition of the European Super League, which will bring Liverpool to the Champions League with arch-rivals Chelsea.
This is the first time in history that the European Super Cup has brought together two English clubs and the eighth time that the tournament is a showdown between two teams from one country.
The first time was in 1990, when AC Milan beat Sampdoria, Parma beat AC Milan in 1993, and Seville beat Barcelona in 2006.
Real Madrid beat Sevilla twice in 2014 and 2016, Barcelona beat Sevilla in 2015, and Atletico Madrid finally beat Real Madrid last season.
Barcelona and Milan hold the record as the most crowned clubs with five titles, four for Real Madrid, three for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, and two for Ajax, Anderlecht, Valencia and Juventus.
The biggest clubs to lose the European Super League are Barcelona and Seville four times, and three times for Real Madrid, Porto, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
The most culminating countries in the European Super are Spain by 15 times, compared to 9 times for Italy, 7 times for England, 3 times for Belgium and twice for the Netherlands.
Italian defense legend Paolo Maldini and Brazilian Danny Alves are at the top of the list of the most capped players on the European Supercourt, four times more than five times each.
As for the most participating clubs in the European Super League, Barcelona are in the lead with 9 times against 7 times for Milan and Real Madrid, 6 times for Liverpool, 5 times for Sevilla and 4 times for Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United and Porto.
Looking at the coaches, more than three European Cup winners Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti have been crowned three times, while Sir Alex Ferguson is the most visible coach in the Super Cup four times.
The top scorers for the European Super League are nine players: Dutchman Ari Han, Ukrainian Oleg Blokhin, England's David Verkloof, Gerd Muller of Germany, Rob Rensenbrink, Belgian Francois van der Elst, England's Terry McDermott, Colombian Radamel Falcao and Lionel Messi each with 3 goals.
Spanish striker Diego Costa holds the record in scoring the fastest goal in the history of the European Super, after a minute and 49 seconds against Real Madrid in 2018 with Atletico Madrid.
Messi is the only player in history to have won the European Super Player of the Year twice, in 2009 and 2015.
Historically, the UEFA Champions League has won the European Super Cup 23 times, while the European Champions League or UEFA Cup winners have won eight of the 19 tournaments since the end of the European Cup.
Given the biggest European Super Cup result, Barcelona's 5-4 win over Sevilla in 2015, the biggest difference was Sevilla's 3-0 win over Barcelona in 2006 and Atletico Madrid's 4-1 win over Chelsea in 2012.
Finally, there are five people who have been able to win the championship title as a player and coach: Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola, Diego Simeone, Luis Enrique and Zinedine Zidane.
