Result and statistics This is how we live the final live
From
Windsor Park
you can see the big yellow crane of the Harland and Wolff shipyards, the same in which the
Titanic
was built
. The
Villarreal
claimed to
be the iceberg that sank the ocean liner is
Chelsea
, a club able to spend 115 million on a player, somewhat less than the budget driving the castellonense club this past season, but after surprising the
Manchester United
in Gdansk could not this time with another of the giants of the Premier. He faced
Unai Emery's team
, who crashed up to twice with the sticks before Gerard equalized
Ziyech's
goal
, but after taking the English to the limit, this time there was a cross in the penalty shoot-out and it was the English team who lifted their second Super Cup, leaving the yellows without what would have been the first.
The
Chelsea
came into the game ready to dominate, locking the
Villarreal
in your area and imposing physique. The helm of the final began with Kanté, an omnipresent footballer through whom almost all the plays passed, that the English team tried to take to the bands. The depth of
Hudson-Odoi
and
Marcos Alonso
brought Emery's men headfirst, who had to defend with a line of five to cover the breadth of the 'blue' attack. Yeremy suffered in his side work to try to contain Alonso, from whose boots the goal that opened the scoring was born. The Madrilenian searched in depth for the career of
Havertz
, whose sent to the area hunted Ziyech to subtly beat Asenjo.
The goal rewarded the insistence of a Chelsea that had already had a couple of options at the feet of
Werner
and
Kanté
. Of Villarreal, on the contrary, there was hardly any news until then, although the blow woke up the people of Castellón, who little by little were getting rid of the intense English dominance and began to haunt Mendy's goal. The Senegalese goalkeeper had to go into action barely after half an hour to cover Dia's shot, after a good send from Foyth looking to uncheck the new yellow striker.
Chelsea did not renounce to open distance and had a good option with Marcos Alonso, whose shot, to a pass from Ziyech, was cleared by Asenjo.
Just a minute later,
Zouma
narrowly missed an acrobatic shot, although the one who came closest to scoring was
Alberto Moreno
, who could have tied for the first-half
penalty
.
After one of the few occasions in which
Gerard was
able to combine
in attack, the Catalan crossed to the far post, where Moreno appeared to finish off with a volley to the crossbar.
The final, a very equal pulse
The stick again denied
Villarreal
the equalizer
shortly after the game was resumed. The injured party in this case was Gerard, whose cross hit repelled the post after Mendy deflected it with his fingertips, thus amending the error that had caused the yellow occasion after an inopportune slip when serving on goal.
The occasion confirmed that the trend of the party had changed. The
Chelsea
had fallen back slowly and now was the set of Emery who began to take the handle of a meeting which had not yet said its last word. At last they began to fuel the yellow attack, where Gerard seems to have found a good partner in
Boulaye Dia
. The two forwards understand each other well, as they demonstrated in the action that brought Villarreal back into the final. Mario intercepted the exit of the English team and the ball fell to Gerard, who leaned against Dia and received a great heel pass from the French-Senegalese that left him alone before Mendy. This time the yellow scorer did not forgive, who took the match to extra time.
Emery replicated
Chelsea's
drawing
to play with three centrals in extra time, where Tuchel's men recovered their good tone from the first half and had the best options to avoid the penalty shoot-out, in a shot from
Pulisic
that narrowly missed and another from Mount that Asenjo took out after Pau made a mess with the ball in the area.
Kepa's entry for the penalty shoot-out was decisive and the two saves made by the Basque goalkeeper to
Mandi
and
Albiol
ended up giving his team the title.
