New season, same result.

Bayern Munich collected yet another trophy Thursday, beating Sevilla 2-1 in extra time to capture the UEFA Super Cup.

The reigning Europa League and Champions League winners were level after 90 minutes thanks to first-half goals from Lucas Ocampos and Leon Goretzka, respectively, but the German side broke the deadlock when substitute Javi Martinez headed home in the 104th minute.

The Spaniard’s looping header gave Bayern their second UEFA Super Cup win and first since 2013.

The Bavarians have now won 23 straight matches in all competitions going back to last season.

Hansi Flick’s side was made to sweat in Budapest, though.

After having a pair of second-half goals called back due to a tight offside call and a foul in the buildup, respectively, Bayern needed veteran shot-stopper Manuel Neuer to save the day at the end of normal time.

With Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri clean through on goal in the waning seconds, the 34-year-old German produced a fantastic save, diving down to his right to keep out what almost certainly would have been the winning goal for the Spanish club.

Given a lifeline, Bayern took full advantage in the extra frame when Martinez nodded a rebound over the outstretched arm of Sevilla ‘keeper Yassine Bounou.

The Andalusian side fought until the final whistle but was ultimately unable to reply with the goal needed to push the match to penalties.

Luis Suarez is joining forces with Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid after parting ways with Barcelona, the Catalan club announced on Wednesday.

Barca will receive €6 million in variables for the veteran striker.

The deal is subject to Suarez “passing his medical and agreeing and formalizing” his contract, Atletico noted.

Suarez, 33, will replace Alvaro Morata, who joined Juventus on a season-long loan Tuesday, and now splits striking duties with Diego Costa and Joao Felix.

It was unclear whether the move would even take place. Barcelona had reportedly agreed to terminate Suarez’s contract but changed tune upon learning a direct rival was interested in signing him. Suarez reportedly threatened to call a press conference alongside a team of lawyers, but the club eventually allowed him to leave.

Barcelona will hold a “farewell event” for Suarez on Thursday, which will include a press conference.

The Uruguayan international was close to joining Juventus before thrashing a deal with Atletico. He even traveled to Italy to obtain his citizenship, which would’ve facilitated a transfer to the Serie A champions. But there wasn’t enough time for Suarez to get an Italian passport, leading Juventus to sign Morata instead.

Suarez joined Barcelona from Liverpool for €75 million back in 2014, and formed one of the most prolific triumvirates in world football alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar. He put up his best numbers during the 2015-16 season, winning the La Liga scoring title as part of a prolific 59-goal campaign.

In all, he scored 198 goals in 283 appearances with the Blaugrana, winning the Champions League once, La Liga four times, the Copa del Rey four times, and the Club World Cup during his six seasons there.

Alvaro Morata’s career has come full circle.

Morata, who scored 27 goals for Juventus from 2014 to 2016, rejoined the Bianconeri on loan from Atletico Madrid on Tuesday for an initial €10-million fee, the club announced.

Juventus have the option to sign the Spanish striker permanently for an additional €45 million.

If the reigning Serie A champions choose not to make the deal permanent by the end of the season, they can extend the loan for another €10 million. The buyout clause would then drop to €35 million.

Juventus turned to Morata after giving up on a deal for Roma’s Edin Dzeko. The Bosnian’s move to Turin was reportedly on standby because Roma had yet to complete a move for Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik.

Morata began his career at Real Madrid but truly took off only upon joining Juventus in July 2014. He split time as a starter during his first two seasons in Italy and still managed to make an impact, scoring against Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona in the 2015-16 Champions League, as well as the winner in extra time of the 2016 Coppa Italia final versus AC Milan.

The 27-year-old’s performances convinced Madrid to buy him back in June 2016 for €30 million. Despite playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema, Morata found the net 15 times, winning La Liga with Los Blancos and finishing ahead of Neymar in league scoring.

Morata then joined Chelsea in July 2017, reuniting with former mentor and Juventus manager Antonio Conte for a reported club-record €66 million.

However, Morata struggled to adapt to the Premier League. He scored just 16 goals in 47 league appearances and left for Atletico in January 2019.

Atletico are reportedly poised to sign Luis Suarez as Morata’s replacement. The Uruguayan striker is expected to join Diego Simeone’s side after terminating his contract with Barcelona.
