It was 22 years ago that Real Madrid added the first European Super Cup to their trophy cabinet. The Whites beat Feyenoord (3-1) at the Louis II stadium in Monaco, after winning la Novena in Glasgow that year with goals from Raúl and Zidane's historic volley.
Against Feyenoord, Real Madrid took an early lead: in the 15th minute, Paauwe deflected Roberto Carlos' left-wing cross into his own net. Six minutes later, the Brazilian full-back was at the heart of the action again, making it 2-0 from inside the box.
The Dutch pulled one back with a Van Hooijdonk free-kick, but Guti sealed the title in the 60th minute with a header to make it 3-1. Real Madrid have won six Super Cups in the competition in six different cities: Monaco, Cardiff, Trondheim, Skopje, Helsinki and Warsaw.
