Chelsea beat Villarreal 6-5 in post-match penalties to lift the Uefa Super Cup for a second time after drawing 1-1 in normal and extra time.
Substitute goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga saved captain Raul Albiol's spot-kick at Windsor Park, Belfast to secure Chelsea's first silverware of the season.
Winger Hakim Ziyech opened the scoring midway through the opening 45 minutes when his miscued attempt somehow found the bottom right corner but he was then forced off with what looked like a worrying shoulder injury just before half-time.
The Spaniards who started the match slowly hit the woodwork either side of the break before Gerard Moreno equalised in the 73rd minute to force extra time.
It was the first time the Super Cup was played in Northern Ireland and 13,000 spectators generated a fantastic atmosphere in the south Belfast stadium, the highest attendance at any sports event in the country since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Kepa was brought off the bench by Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel just a few minutes before the end of extra time and dived low to his right to save from Albiol. He also saved Aissa Mandi's effort.
