One of Chelsea's missed penalties was kicked by the first executioner, Kai Havertz. The Blues deserve to thank their goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, as a hero in the high-five.

Kepa only came on in the 119th minute to replace Edouard Mendy. He blocked Villarreal's fifth kicker, Raul Albiol, who ensured Chelsea won the European Super Cup this year. For Chelsea, this is their second European Super Cup trophy. Initially, the Blues achieved a similar achievement in 1998.

It was clear that Chelsea were champions and made two of their players, Jorginho and Emerson Palimieri, set special records.

Jorginho and Emerson are the first players in football history to win the Champions League, European Cup/Euro (Italian national team) and European Super Cup in the same year.

The difference is, only Jorginho always plays in the top three matches of this prestigious European competition.
