I'm assuming you're asking how we managed to compete in the 1998 Super Cup against Real Madrid... If not, correct me.

We won the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup in 1998 against Stuttgart. Back then, the Super Cup consisted of the winners of the Champions League and the winners of the Cup Winners' Cup instead of the Uefa Cup. The Cup Winners' Cup was a tournament for everyone who won their domestic cup competitions from each country but the last one was in 1999 i think Lazio won the last one if memory serves me right beating Mallorca in the Final, Mallorca beat us in the Semi. I'll never forget Robbie's shot against the bar tho Now the winners of the cups go into the Europa League so there are just 2 Uefa club tournaments, not 3.

Since the Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued in 1999, the Super Cup now consists of the Europa League winners and the Champions League winners.
