Super Cup between traditional Cup & CL winners cannot be simply implemented because of different numbers of winners. But Super Cup between CL & UEFA winner is possible.
No. of CL group stage 3rd placed team is one third of those teams directly participate UEFA (5th -7th place in league in previous season). Suppose UEFA group stage with 3 teams per group, and one team advance to playoff quarter final to face CL Gp stage 3rd place team.
With this structure, no.of CL and UEFA winners will be equal. In such UEFA, there is one playoff round less than CL, so there are 2 matches less. The UEFA group stage also has 2 matches less. So teams playing UEFA will have more day off than teams playing Cup or CL before they are knocked out.
Comparing with UEFA, traditional Cup is more difficult to win. It may not be fair to arrange UEFA winner instead of traditional Cup winner to play Super Cup.
