Start the year with hardware is always beautiful. Confident, but anyone can stumble.

Chalobah really deserved this start. It makes me happy that Tuchel rewards him after his preseason.

A trophy for clubs who have already won a trophy. What's the point.

Serious!?

Anyway - just curious - do people consider this a real trophy?

What I mean is, for example - when one considers the history of Man Utd. (or any other successful team as it matters) people don't really count the Charity Shield as a trophy or do they?

What about this 'Super Cup'? Isn't there a game between the top South American team and the winners of the Champions league.... is that a proper trophy too?

What about that thing Utd. played in some years ago and didn't play in the FA Cup that season due to fixture pile-up, whatever happened to that?

It is not a trophy that anyone would speak of in the same breath as the Champions League, just a nice way to start the season.

Another question for statisticians:

Have Man Utd. ever played Man City in a derby game that was also a cup final, I'm curious?

Because in an alternative reality, tonight's game could have been such a match.

Another one.

In how many other season have the bookies underdogs for both the CL final and the EL final both won in the same season?

As you're classing this as a cup final the same applies to Community Shield so yes.

1956 Charity Shield - United won 1:0
2011 Community Shield - United won 3:2

Still amazed United couldn't beat this yellow mob.
