Chelsea could add another trophy as they will be facing Europa League winners, Villarreal in the UEFA Super Cup Final in Northern Ireland. Thomas Tuchel and Unai Emery will be looking to add to their trophy collection as they both seek another cup final glory.
Villarreal
overcame premier league giants, as they won Manchester United in their Europa
league final clash, on penalties.
For the
Spanish team, it is the first time that they have won a major European trophy,
so it is fair to say Unai Emery will have become an immediate hero at the club.
Chelsea
booked a spot in the super cup final after win over Manchester City to lifts
the champions league trophy on Saturday night.
That means Chelsea will face
Villarreal at Windsor Park on August 11, which is just three days prior to the
new Premier League season getting started.
On Windsor Park being chosen to
stage the Super Cup, Irish FA Chief Executive Patrick Nelson made a
statement back in.
Though, there is some suspicion
over whether the super cup final will actually take place in Northern Ireland
as planned.
Current reports in Northern Ireland have made claims that the
super cup fixture may have been moved to Istanbul, who were supposed to host
the Champions League final before it was moved to Porto.
That has not been confirmed just yet, In the meantime, the Blues
know for sure that they will take on Villarreal on August 11 for a shot at
Super Cup trophy.
