On Friday night in Monaco at "Stade Louis II," the UEFA Super Cup match took place, where the winners of the previous season's Champions League, London's "Chelsea," faced the victorious team of the Europa League, Madrid's "Atletico."

Last year's top scorer in the Europa League and a member of the Colombian national team demonstrated impressive technique and finishing attacks.
In the second half of the match, "mattress" defender Miranda once again forced Petr Cech to retrieve the ball from his own goal net.
The "Blues" were saved from complete humiliation in the 75th minute by Gary Cahill.
"Atletico" has won the UEFA Super Cup for the second time in the club's history - in 2010, they defeated Inter Milan 2-0.
London's "Chelsea" 1 - 4 Madrid's "Atletico" 7' [0 - 1] R. Falcao 19' [0 - 2] R. Falcao 45' [0 - 3] R. Falcao 61' [0 - 4] Miranda 75' [1 - 4] G. Cahill
