Have you noticed that in 2025, there were two "European Super Cup" games for the first time in history

The European Super Cup was the early one from the Champions League against the Winners Cup. Later, the Champions League was reorganized and the Winners Cup was cancelled, which was changed to the Champions League against the Europa League. To be honest, the reform of the Champions League is equivalent to absorbing the essence of the Europa League and the Winners Cup, resulting in a significant reduction in the value of the Europa League. In the past, the scale of the League Cup was larger than that of the Champions League, the competition was very fierce, and there were many strong teams. The winning champions were of considerable importance. But now, the Europa League has become a second-line European battle, and the final champion is rarely a top giant. Therefore, today's European Super Cup feels more or less uncoordinated.

Let's put it this way, this is the peak showdown in European football. I think the Champions League final is better than the European Super Cup. Take 2025 for example, Paris Saint-Germain v Inter Milan is obviously more eye-catching than Paris Saint-Germain vs. Tottenham, and its overall level is also higher. Although the Cup of Winners has been cancelled, in recent years, UEFA has organized another event called UEFA. Many people say that the European Union is equivalent to the previous Cup of Winners, which is a very wrong statement. In fact, after the reform of the Champions League, the share of the three major cups was completely disrupted. The Champions League extracted the essence of the three major cups, and the rest was left to the Europa League. As for the European Union, it has nothing to do with the Winners Cup.

But this does not mean that there will be no situation where top teams win the championship. In the previous few sessions, Roma, West Ham United, and Olympiacos may be almost the same, but Chelsea in 2025 is definitely a Champions League champion team. It can be said that Chelsea, alone, greatly mentions the quality of the European Union event. So, just for 2025, the real European Super Cup should be the Champions League champions versus the European Union champion. By chance, this game has been played, but it was "packaged" into the final of the Club World Cup. In addition to the genuine European Super Cup held in August, Paris Saint-Germain vs. Tottenham, so in 2025, it is equivalent to playing two European Super Cups. In fact, in today's European football ecosystem, the European Super Cup has long become a gimmick. It is said to be the peak showdown in Europe, but as mentioned earlier, the Champions League champion is not as good as the Champions League final. Specifically in 2025, Chelsea unexpectedly fell into the European League but won the Cup without surprise, making the duel between the Champions League and the European League League champion feel more "super" than the European Super Cup. Just imagine, are you willing to watch Paris Saint-Germain play Tottenham, or are you willing to watch Paris Saint-Germain play against Chelsea? Paris Saint-Germain is the Triple Crown, needless to say. Chelsea is ranked fourth in the Premier League, but what are you looking at Tottenham? It's almost downgraded. Originally, this kind of Super Cup event has a bit of a waste. Not only the European Super Cup, but also the domestic Super Cup, are not very popular. Interestingly, like the Spanish Super Cup, it has even expanded into 4 teams. There is no other meaning except for allowing the giants to be squeezed by more games in January. According to this idea, the European Super Cup should also include the European League champions. The Europa League champion will first play the first round of the European League champion, and the winner will play the final of the European Super Cup with the Champions League champion. This is simply putting the boring spirit into the end. Such a spectacle in 2025 will not be too high in the future. Because this not only requires waiting every four years, but also requires the UEFA Champions League Championship to reach the final of the Club World Cup and meet with the Champions League champion. The question is, how can there be so many top wealthy families in the future to compete in the European Union?
