On Thursday morning WIB. They won the 2022 European Super Cup. The 2022-2022 Champions League champions became champions after conquering the Europa League champions, Villarreal, at Windsor Park Stadium, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Chelsea took the lead through Hakim Ziyech’s goal in the 27th minute before Villarreal replied through Gerard Moreno (73′). The balanced score lasted until the extra time set, aka extra time, was over. The champion must also be determined by penalty shootout.
In the shootout set, Chelsea were better than Villarreal. They lead 6-5 over the Spanish club. Thomas Tuhel’s troops got the kick first. They put six balls into Villarreal’s goal from 7 opportunities.
One of the missed Chelsea penalties was kicked by the first executioner, Kai Havertz. The Blues deserve to thank their goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, as the hero in the high-fives clash.
Kepa only came in in the 119th minute to replace Edouard Mendy. He saved Villarreal’s fifth kicker, Raul Albiol, which ensured Chelsea won this year’s European Super Cup. For Chelsea, this is their second European Super Cup trophy. Initially, the Blues had sculpted a similar feat in 1998.
The clarity that Chelsea won at the same time made their two players, Jorginho and Emerson Palimieri set a special record.
Jorginho and Emerson are the first players in the history of football to win the Champions League, European Cup/Euro (Italian national team) and European Super Cup in the same year.
The difference is that Jorginho is the only one who always plays in the top three matches of the prestigious European competition.
