Madrid eased past Frankfurt in their only previous continental showdown that was one for the ages, claiming an overwhelming 7-3 victory in the 1960 European Cup final at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

Fast forward 52 years, Vinicius Junior catapulted Los Merengues past Liverpool in the 2022 Champions League final, helping his side win their 14th European Cup trophy overall.

The defending La Liga champions will be out to tie AC Milan and Barcelona's record of five UEFA Super Cup titles in what will be their eighth foray into the showpiece.

On the other hand, a nerve-shredding penalty shoot-out triumph over Rangers in the 2022 Europa League decider booked Frankfurt the tickets for a first appearance in the UEFA Super Cup.

Head to Head:

It will be the only second meeting between these two teams in club football history. The previous encounter came long back on 18 May 1960 when Real Madrid gave a 7-3 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Cup Final at Hampden Park.

For many football fans, that match is still regarded as one of the greatest football matchups. It is an opportunity for Eintracht Frankfurt to avenge the loss after six long decades.
