Xavi Hernandez secured his first trophy as manager of FC Barcelona, who defeated Real Madrid 3-1 to claim the Spanish Super Cup title on Sunday night. Read more ▶️
Madrid welcomed back Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric from the penalty shoot-out win over Valencia, while Barca had Sergio Busquets, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde back in the side.
In a pretty swift response, Los Blancos witnessed a charging run by Mendy resulting in a cross in the area which met the head of Karim Benzema who unfortunately nodded wide. The latter then reserved roles on the cusp of halftime when he delivered a telling ball in the area for Lewandowski to tap past Courtois following an enterprising passing move.
Real were still on the back-foot early on from the resumption and nearly conceded a third goal through Ousmane Dembele’s snap attempt, but Courtois spread clear and made a sprawling save.
