Barcelona could tie AC Milan as the team with the most Super Cup wins. The last and only time Sevilla won it was in 2006.

Barcelona and Sevilla will meet in a neutral ground called Tbilisi to decide who the winner of the 2015 UEFA Super Cup is. A trophy that for now belongs to Real Madrid should be in the hands of Barcelona by Tuesday but Unai Emery, Sevilla's coach, hopes that will not be the case.

Emery respects the fact that Barcelona is a very powerful team and that they recently won the treble last season with La Liga, the Spanish Cup and the Champions League. That does not mean that he does not see a chance to beat a team that has been almost unbeatable since 2015 started.

"Barcelona are favourites, but we have the advantage of being the surprise. It would be a big boost to our confidence if we were to win," Emery commented. ""We know that we have the chance to win a trophy with our first game of the season and that is a big motivation."

Emery has spent a long time studying what his team can do to face Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and company. Chances are, he paid close attention to Barcelona's performances during the International Champions Cup. Barcelona struggled during those games, losing to Manchester United, Fiorentina and Chelsea in penalty kicks.

"We need to find Barcelona's shortcomings, which we know are very few," Emery said in a press conference.

At the same time, Sevilla will start the season without a player that was vital for the team to win the Europa League. Carlos Bacca signed with AC Milan over the summer while the names of players like Chicharito have been lingering the office of Sevilla, Emery believes that the team will have to adapt to what it has.

"We will continue to grow, despite the difficulties and any reconstruction of the squad," the 43-year-old manager claimed. "In previous years we lost Frederic Kanoute, Dani Alves, Ivan Rakitic and Christian Poulsen and we have always rebuilt."

Sevilla has won the Uefa Super Cup once, while finishing as the runner-up twice. On the other hand, Barcelona could tie AC Milan as the team with the most Super Cup titles (5), with its last one being in 2011.
