This years U.E.F.A super cup was held between last years Champion league winner Barcelona and the U.E.F.A winner Shakhtar Donestsk, a club from the Ukairne.Barcelona started well with their new striker the Sweedish striker Zalatin Ibrahimovic who replaced Samuel Etoo as the new striker .Both Lionel Messi and Zalatin Ibrahimovic , had a few chances but the ball never seemed to find the net, the best chances for Zalatin Ibrahimovic in the 81st minute and then in the 115 th minute, the ball being fired past the goalkeeper Andriy Payatov.. As the match was now gone into the extra time and still no sign of a goalcoming , all thought that it would now end in a penalty shoot out. But the sustitute Pedro Rodrigues 22 year old player who is developed from the youth team scored the winner in late injury time. It was Barcelona third win in the U.E.F.A super cup , and the fifth time a Europenchampion had beaten a U.E.F.A holder in 12 meetings since it started in Monaco in 1998.
