      Does the Super Cup go straight to penalties or is there extra-time?

      by

      THE UEFA SUPER CUP will be contested by Chelsea and Villarreal this year, as the winners of the Champions League and Europa League from last season go head-to-head.This is the third of three major European finals in 2021, all of which have involved a Premier League team.
      Chelsea won the Champions League in May by beating Man City
      Villarreal won the Europa League with a win over Manchester United
      The Blues claimed the Champions League title in May by beating Man City 1-0 in Porto, while Villarreal defeated Man Utd to seal their first ever Europa League trophy.
      And now the two winning sides will face off in Belfast tonight at Windsor Park.
      The winner of the tie will etch their name onto England’s ninth Super Cup, fewer than only Spain (15) and Italy (9), and will be the first Premier League side to claim the trophy since Liverpool did against Chelsea just two years ago.
      The game will be shown live on BT Sport 2, who currently hold the rights to Champions League and Europa League matches in the UK.

      Is there penalties in the Super Cup?
      The Super Cup is a fixture organised by Uefa – as such, it has the same rules and regulations as any other competition run by European football’s administrative body.
      As in any European knockout tie, if the scores are level at the end of regulation time the game will head into two additional 15-minute periods of extra time.
      A penalty shootout will be used to determine the winner of the match should the two teams remain deadlocked after that further half-an-hour.
      Has the Super Cup gone to extra time and penalties before?
      No less than 11 Super Cup matches have required extra time to decide the winner, and only two have ever gone as far as penalties.
      The first was in 1982, when European champions Aston Villa came from a goal down to beat Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate at Villa Park.
      Understandably, since the Super Cup was restructured from a double-legged tie into a single match from 1998 onwards, the number of games heading into extra time has increased – in fact, only two of the last six encounters have been solved within 90 minutes.
      The Super Cup will be contested between Chelsea and Villarreal
      Liverpool required the additional half-an-hour to brush aside CSKA Moscow in 2005, with Djibril Cisse and Luis Garcia scoring either side of the break.
      More recently, in 2013, extra time wasn’t enough to separate Bayern Munich and the Chelsea, but the German powerhouses went on to emerge victorious from the penalty shootout.
      Frank Lampard captained the Blues that day, but will be hoping for better luck in the dugout against Jurgen Klopp this time around. More

      “I started from nothing as well, moved from Ghana to England. I’ve also come from nothing.
      “I always tell people when I fight, I’ve got nothing to lose, I’m gaining everything, and when I go in there, the mentally is different.
      “I’ll be there to fight to, and I’m there to fight and protect the little that I have.” More

      Who is Paris Fury? Tyson Fury’s wife and mother of their six children

      by

      TYSON FURY is preparing to head back into the ring later in 2021.The Gypsy King, who currently lives in Morecambe, is all set to face Deontay Wilder for a THIRD time later this year.
      Tyson Fury met Paris at a mutual friend’s weddingCredit: Mark Robinson – The Sun
      After their last fight, he belted out American Pie to his adoring wife – but what do we know about Paris Fury?Who is Paris?
      Tyson met Paris around 16 years ago at a wedding of mutual friends when she was just 15.
      Like Tyson, who grew up in a gypsy family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, she was also raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
      The pair met again by chance at Paris’s 16th birthday party and took up together, going to the cinema and ice skating every weekend.
      He is 6ft 9ins and she is 5ft 8ins.

      Paris and Tyson kept to the travellers’ tradition of not sleeping together until their wedding nightCredit: Rex Features

      Fury has told Paris he’d like 10 kidsCredit: Instagram
      The heavyweight superstar has likened boxing to marriage.
      He said: “Boxing is like a marriage – you have to work at it. You do fall in and out of love.
      “But I have spiced it back up again, bought her some sexy lingerie and we are back at it, better than ever.”What was their wedding like?
      The couple had a traditional wedding in front of more than 300 guests in Paris’ home town in November 2008.
      In keeping with the travellers’ tradition they didn’t sleep together until their wedding night.
      Paris explained: “Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan at my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house.”
      How many children do the couple have?
      The couple have six, after welcoming the latest to their brood on August 8, 2021.
      They have welcomed a girl called Athena, who follows their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah.
      He came along just over a year after their fourth child, Valencia Amber.
      They are also parents to three other children – Prince John James, Venezuela and Prince Tyson Fury II.
      She told Tyson she was pregnant with Prince John James less than 24 hours before his famous world ­heavyweight boxing ­championship victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
      Paris revealed she suffered a miscarriage on the day of the Gypsy King’s comeback fight against Albanian Sefer Seferi. 
      But she did not let him know until after the bout.

      She said: “I was about eight weeks pregnant. Then on the day of the fight I knew I’d lost our baby.
      “I didn’t mention it to Tyson before he went in the ring.
      “Then straight after I told him and the next day we went to the hospital and it was confirmed.
      “Five weeks later we fell pregnant again.” More
