The SuperCup goes to Real Madrid


Real Madrid won their ninth Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday night against FC Barcelona. While the first leg had turned in favour of the Catalans, Madrid were able to stand up to their opponents by winning the match two goals to one.
Higuain took advantage of an mistake of Mascherano to open the scoring in the 11th minute. Barely ten minutes later, Cristano Ronaldo eliminates Piqué with a beautiful back heel flick and tricks Valdes to score the second goal. Unfortunately bad luck continues for Barca who find themselves down to ten men after less than thirty minutes due to a foul by Adriano on Ronaldo who was running toward the goal. Just before half time, Messi gives hope to the Catalans by scoring a superb free-kick goal but this is not enough.
It is during this captivating and without tensions Clasico that Luka Modric and Alex Song could make their debuts for their respective clubs.
