It was played at the Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden on 24 May 2017, between Dutch side Ajax and English side Manchester United. Manchester United won the match 2 -- 0 to secure their first title in this competition. With this victory, they joined Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich and Chelsea as the only clubs to have won all three major European trophies ( European Champion Clubs ' Cup / UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup / Europa League, and the now defunct UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup ). Manchester United earned the right to play against the winners of the 2016 -- 17 UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid, in the 2017 UEFA Super Cup. They also entered the group stage of the 2017 -- 18 UEFA Champions League, as the berth reserved for the Champions League title holders was not used. Police of Stockholm took measures against potential terrorist attacks which they described as `` the new normality '', since two had occurred in Stockholm in 2010 and 2017, and also prepared for potential clashes between supporters.
