After the victory over Atalanta, Real Madrid, their players and coach also set a series of new records in the top tournament.
Real Madrid sets new record with 6th European Super Cup wins
Before this match, Los Blancos were level with Barcelona and AC Milan on the number of European Super Cup wins, with five. However, the win over Atalanta took Real Madrid to the top, with the La Liga side having lifted the trophy in 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022 and 2024. They have lost three times, in 1998, 2000 and 2018.
Veteran duo Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric have become the two most successful players in European Super Cup history, having featured in all five of Real Madrid's victories since 2014. The pair have surpassed Dani Alves, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Paolo Maldini, who have each featured in four European Super Cup victories.

Carvajal and Modric also set a record for the most appearances in the European Super Cup since the tournament was switched from a two-legged format to a single leg in 1997. Accordingly, in addition to the five wins, both played in the Bernabeu team's defeat to Atletico Madrid in 2018.
Meanwhile, coach Carlo Ancelotti is currently not only the most successful coach in the history of the European Cup/Champions League but also in the Super Cup of this continent (5 times). The 65-year-old Italian coach won 2 European Super Cup titles with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007 and has won 3 titles with Real Madrid in 2014, 2022 and 2024. He surpassed Pep Guardiola, who is still the only coach to win the title with 3 different teams: Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, Bayern Munich (2013) and Man City (2023).
Coach Ancelotti continues to extend his records in his coaching career
Ancelotti has also lifted the European Super Cup once as a player. The former midfielder featured in both legs of AC Milan's 3-1 aggregate win over Sampdoria in 1990. This means he has won the competition a record six times. Guardiola also won it as a player, just three years after Ancelotti.
