Javi Martinez netted the winner as Bayern Munich won 2-1 over Sevilla in Thursday's UEFA Super Cup in Budapest.

Bayern Munich 2-1 Sevilla

Bayern continued as aggressively as ever against the Europa League champions, pushing relentlessly in an attempt to put down a significant marker, not happy with only winning the treble last campaign. However, amid the early superiority in terms of possession, once

converted his penalty shot, it was Sevilla who edged ahead. In any case, Leon Goretzka expertly netted the equalizer from Lewandowski's assist.

At the other end, Luuk de Jong had the ball in the net, but it was correctly called out for offside as the team headed into the break Hansi Flick's men started the second half offensively yet attempts were disallowed. While Bayern continued powerful and produced more opportunities, Sevilla proved aggressive on the counter-attacks.

After all, they possibly should've just won the game in the 87th minute but El-Nesyri lost the chance as

made a spectacular save to hold Bayern in it. As extra time continued, FC Bayern looked more likely to be successful, and due to Martinez's strong header after a corner, they got their prize late on.

As the Spaniard came off the bench to score the winning goal against Sevilla,

was the surprising hero of Bayern Munich. The treble-winners battled over a persistent team that had been undefeated since February. 

Goretzka leveled before half-time, yet had Youssef En-Nesyri not been stopped by Manuel Neuer through last seconds of regular time, Bayern's streak of 22 consecutive wins would have come to an end. It was an absolutely surprising event as Martinez scored his first goal since April 2019. 

There are now 23 consecutive victories for Bayern Munich, they have played 32 matches without a single loss. Even after selling  Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool, this season they would once again be favorites for any big competition.

FCB have dominated Spanish teams on neutral ground

Bayern Munich faced a club from Spain on neutral ground for the 4th time in all. After their 4-0 victory in the 1974 European Cup final against Atletico Madrid, and their dramatic 5-4 penalty win over Valencia in 2001 at Milan's San Siro, soccer fans are extremely likely to remember the latest battle when they defeated Barcelona 8-2.

Dominant Diego Carlos

The two center-backs of Sevilla, Diego Carlos, and Jules Kounde, were both perfect and their reputations can only be improved by this result. Specifically, Diego Carlos was amazing, producing a game-high 16 clearances, 7 more than any player plus two blocks.

Alaba all at sea

To concede the goal, he was caught the wrong side of Rakitic, missing the goal with two set-pieces, and lost the ball 23 times, the second-most behind Muller among Bayern players.

Rakitic highlights Neuer brilliance

As Bayern claimed a 2-1 win, Ivan Rakitic felt Manuel Neuer was the difference in the game. Sevilla appeared to be stubborn rivals, and substitute Youssef En-Nesyri came close to stopping Bayern's 22-game winning streak once at the point when put through in the 87th minute, only for Neuer to score the goal. 

As he flicked a right foot out to redirect En-Nesyri's attempt to the post at the beginning of extra time, the German international attempted an even better saving for FC Bayern.

"It's frustrating, but that's soccer," Rakitic told Sky. " We saw how essential Neuer is to them tonight. We had two perfect opportunities to go forward, yet he stopped them. So we gave away a stupid corner and they scored. 

"We should be proud of how we played over the best team in Europe, and we feel well-positioned for the new season."

" It was a really fair match, and in the end, they were the ones who could score the winner, however, we had our chances, "he said. 

"We had scored the opening goal and many opportunities but we didn't take them. We've got to fight back and keep going."
