After a summer, both teams have changed a lot. Italian coach Claudio Ranieri, who has just stepped down from Chelsea, has taken charge of Valencia for the second time and brought several Italian players with him. Ranieri's last trophy for Valencia was the 1998 Copa del Rey. His side lost the Spanish Super Cup last week to Zaragoza. Porto, who lost Jose Mourinho, have already changed two managers, bringing in Victor Fernandez after sacking Del Neri, and beating Benfica last week to win the Portuguese Super Cup.

As for the formation, it has changed dramatically from the previous two teams

Valencia are (4-4-2): Canizares/Curro Torres, Navarro, Marchena, Carboni/Rufete, Albelda, Baraja, Vicente/Di Vaio, Corradi.

Porto are (4-1-3-2): Baya/Sitaritis, Jorge Costa, Pepe, Valente/Costinha/Hugo Lear, Maniche, Alberto/Postiga, McCarthy.

The Stade Louis II was once a sad place for Ranieri, who was knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Chelsea at Monaco last season. There were two newcomers in his starting line-up, with Di Vaio and Corradi coming in in pair-up. Teenager Navarro replaced Ayala, who is currently competing in the Olympics.

Porto's starting line-up changed five players compared to the Champions League final. Deco, Paulo Ferreira and Carvalho have already moved and Delray is out with a ligament injury. New right-back Sitaridis and centre-back Pepe started the game, with Postiga joining McCarthy from Tottenham, and midfielder Hugo Lear replacing Mendes.

Cristina is ready to lead the team in the player tunnel, this is her first final, although the European Super Cup has the nature of a warm-up match, but after all, it is also a king-of-the-king duel in Europe, and Villar is also paying attention to her in the box, after all, Christina is the final!

After the opening, the pace on the field was relatively slow, and the two sides were still testing each other. In the 11th minute, Postiga's diagonal shot was saved by Canizares, and Alberto's follow-up shot was blocked by a defender. In the 17th minute, McCarthy's free kick from 25 meters in front of the goal was confiscated by Canizares. In the 24th minute, Alberto combined with Maniche on the left and Postiga headed high. In the 27th minute, Valencia took a tactical corner, Vicente crossed, and Di Vaio's header was slightly wide.

In the 31st minute, Di Vaio played a combination with Vicente, Curro Torres got the ball on the right side and crossed back to the middle, Baraja scored with a long-range header from 15 meters in front of the goal, and Valencia led 1-0. In the 36th minute, Porto took a corner kick and captain Jorge Costa's header was deflected. In the 41st minute, Postiga won the ball in the middle line and shot wide. In the 44th minute, Baraja's shot from outside the box was confiscated by Baya.

In the second half, both teams picked up the tempo and fought fiercely. In the 56th minute, the indefatigable Alberto almost tied the score, but Canizares, who was guarding the near post, lifted the ball off the line. In the 60th minute, Fernandes replaced Quaresma, who scored the winning goal in the Portuguese Super Cup, and Porto almost pressed Valencia into the half, but in the 66th minute, Porto conceded another goal, Vicente's cross from the left, Di Vaio's header was on goal, and the ball was saved by Baya and hit the right post and bounced into the goal. It was also Di Vaio's first goal since joining Valencia.

In the 71st minute, Vicente took a corner kick and Baraja's header bounced high. In the 77th minute, Porto broke the ball in the midfield, Guardesma got rid of the defender before taking the ball, and after taking a few steps laterally, he volleyed with his right foot 27 meters in front of the goal, Canizares flew to hit the ball with both palms, but he could only hold the ball into the upper right corner, Porto pulled 1-2, but after that they had no chance, they had to accept the defeat. Since the 1998 UEFA Super Cup, which was decided to be held in Monaco, the UEFA Cup winners have beaten the Champions Cup winners five times in seven editions.

League Cup winners Valencia beat European champions Porto 2-1. Baraja scored with a header from newly signed Di Vaio to bring his first trophy to Ranieri, who was in charge of Valencia for the second time. Porto only got a point back from substitute Quaresma, marking the second consecutive year that Porto have lost the UEFA Super Cup.

And Cristina showed a total of six yellow cards in this game, and did not send the head coach off the field, which was a very smooth end to the game, and Christina was very happy after the game, and it was the best reward for the referee to end it in such a calm manner, after all, the headlines are not good for the referee, and for Christina, she has set several records in this Super Cup: the youngest referee, the first female referee, with her qualifications, this is already very perfect.

In the box, Platini, who is also a member of the executive committee, watched the game together, and Platini also had a deep impact on Cristina's performance, he looked at Christina who left the field and said: "Angel, you have a very good eye, this little girl is indeed very talented, and with her sunny and youthful image, it can completely improve our UEFA reputation and show our great achievements in gender equality work." ”

Villar: "Yes, Michelle, Christina is the first female referee in the history of the Premier League and in the history of English football, and if we develop well, maybe this will become a legend like Corina!" ”

After hearing this, Platini smiled and said, "No, Angel, Christina is a beautiful girl, but she is much better than Gianluigi!" The two of them burst out laughing.

And then it was the award ceremony, Cristina led the referee team to enter the field first, received the medal, and then the players from both sides took the stage to receive the award, watching Valencia hold the trophy high, Cristina was also very happy, after all, a successful final, every trophy held high is also an affirmation of the hard work of the referee.
