UEFA Super Cup: 5 most successful clubs in the tournament's history

#1 Barcelona (5 titles)

Barcelona beat Sevilla in the 2015 final to win a record-equaling 5th UEFA Super Cup

Champions League winners Barcelona faced Europa League winners Sevilla in the 2015 edition of the UEFA Super Cup.

In an eight goal thriller in Tbilisi, Georgia, Messi's brace gave Barcelona a 2-1 lead inside 20 minutes. Further goals from Rafinha and Georginho provided a seemingly unassailable lead for the Catalans.

But incredibly, Sevilla refused to cow down, scoring three goals in the last 33 minutes of the match to force extra time at an incredible 4-4 scoreline.

Pedro's winner five minutes from time finally doused Sevilla's challenge as Barcelona triumphed for a record-equaling fifth time in the competition, to join AC Milan for most UEFA Super Cup titles.

Barcelona's previous wins in the Super Cup came against Werder Bremen in 1992, Borussia Dortmund in 1997, Shakhtar Donetsk in 2009 and in 2011 against Porto.

The Spanish club has finished runner-up four times in the competition, doing so in 1979 (Nottingham Forest), 1982 (Aston Villa) and 1992 (AC Milan) in two legged finals and against Sevilla in 2006.
