Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared his expectations for the European Super Cup match against Eintracht.
"Eintracht will have some advantage over us because they start the season earlier. But we will still play for victory. Last year's triumphs strengthen our belief, but we need to focus on the upcoming challenges.
Last year, Eintracht achieved something special because they weren't among the Europa League favourites. They looked great, beating Barcelona at Camp Nou in a counter-attacking style with quick transition between zones.
We are ready. The team is in great shape. The satisfaction you get after such victories makes you feel that no one should ever take your place," Ancelotti was quoted as saying by the official site UEFA.
We will remind that the match between "Real" and "Eintracht" will take place on August 10, at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.
