The 2014 UEFA Super Cup was the 39th edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the two main European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match featured two Spanish teams Real Madrid and Sevilla, the winners of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League and the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League respectively. ^[5] It was played at the Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, ^[6] on 12 August 2014. ^[7] The date was moved from Friday in late August in previous years, to mid-August starting this year, following the removal of the August international friendly date in the new FIFA International Match Calendar. ^[6]

Real Madrid won 2–0 to win their second UEFA Super Cup, with both goals by Cristiano Ronaldo. ^[8]
