- Ancelotti: Benzema targeting Ballon d'Or
David Alaba and Karim Benzema scored in each half as Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in Finland to win the UEFA Super Cup for a record-equalling fifth time.
The winners of last season's Champions League and Europa League faced off at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki where semi-automated offside technology was making its first appearance in European competition.
Despite Thibaut Courtois being called into action several times in the first half, Real controlled the majority of possession and went ahead eight minutes before the break when David Alaba tapped into an empty net (37) after Casemiro had headed the ball back across goal from a tight angle.

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti:
"Eintracht were very closed and we found it difficult to find our rhythm, but we did it well then.
"It's difficult at the beginning of the season to be in top form but we now have won to start the season well."
The Italian reserved special praise for captain Benzema, who was last season's top scorer in the Champions League.
"He's a very important player, a team leader," he said.
"If we're here it's largely due to his merits, he scored a lot of goals, he finished the season well, he scored a goal today and now he's going for the Ballon d'Or award."
