Thomas Tuchel's FC Chelsea won the European Supercup with a lot of effort and strong nerves after the Champions League.

With the three national players Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Antonio Rüdiger, the Blues prevailed on Wednesday evening in Belfast against Villarreal on penalties with 6: 5.

After 120 minutes it was 1: 1 (1: 1, 1: 0).

Havertz missed the first penalty for Chelsea, which had no effect after two attempts missed by Villarreal.

The Europa League winner from Spain had increased enormously in the second half - but then no luck against the Londoners trained by Tuchel, who will soon be strengthened for millions.

Hakim Ziyech (27th) took the lead after preliminary work by Harvertz.

Gerard Moreno (73.) made his goal for the extra layer in Northern Ireland.

His coach Unai Emery also missed winning the silver cup in the traditional competition of the European Cup winners on the third attempt.

No news of Lukaku's return

Like 74 days before in the final of the premier class against Manchester City, Tuchel relied on his three German professionals, who had experienced a disappointing European championship, from the start.

Werner checked Villarreal's goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo early on after a corner from standing (6th).

Chelsea were clearly the better team in the initial phase in front of 13,000 spectators, N'Golo Kanté, who played as captain, forced Asenjo to make a save with a long shot (9th).

On the sidelines, Tuchel applauded vigorously.

There was initially no news on the spectacular return of Belgian international Romelu Lukaku to the blues on Wednesday evening.

The 28-year-old striker should come from Inter Milan for 115 million euros - and should dispute Werner's place in the storm center.

However, the 25-year-old German can also use the wings.

Tuchel clenched his fist - Emery raged in the coaching zone

In Belfast the left side was occupied again by Havertz, who wonderfully prepared the opening goal by Ziyech playing on the right side.

Tuchel clenched his fist with a grin - Emery was raging in his coaching zone.

The "Mr.

Europa League "baptized Spaniard celebrated his fourth title in the smaller European Cup with a final win on penalties against Manchester United.

Villarreal was far from winning the Supercup immediately after falling behind.

The “yellow submarine”, as the club is called, increased the longer the game played and also had really good chances before equalizing with two post shots (45th + 4 and 52nd).

"If there was someone in the dressing room who underestimated you, I would be surprised - and angry," Tuchel said shortly before kick-off.

The former Bundesliga coach had to watch worryingly as Ziyech was replaced in the 43rd minute with an injury to his shoulder.

Shortly afterwards, Rüdiger saw a yellow card after a foul - as did Tuchel, who, in the opinion of referee Sergej Karassjow, complained too much (45th + 1).

Havertz only hit the side net shortly after the restart (48th), Villarreal made the game more and more open. Tuchel reacted with a triple change and brought, among other things, the Italian European champion Jorginho into the game (65th). Werner left for Mason Mount. It didn't help much - on the contrary: After a bad pass from Rüdiger, Villarreal combined in the direction of the Blues goal and Moreno scored the well-deserved equalizer. Extra time became a nerve game. Tuchel replaced goalkeeper Kepa for the penalty shoot-out.
