MADRID, 16 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid was proclaimed champion of the Spanish Super Cup this Sunday by beating Athletic Club (0-2) in the final held at the King Fahd Stadium in Saudi Arabia, the first title of the season that serves the whites to savor the honeys of the success that eluded him last year.
The return of Carlo Ancelotti this season translates into a trophy at the first chance, which came from the comfort that gave Madrid the opportunity to exercise its superiority this season in the League. Modric and Karim Benzema, from a penalty, one goal in each half, gave the Whites their twelfth national Super Cup.
Athletic, who were defending their title, found no loophole in their rival’s good game, but had the option of changing the script at the last minute. A penalty and expulsion of Militao in the 89th minute seemed to reward the Basque insistence, but Raúl García ran into the goalkeeper Courtois in the maximum penalty to make a Madrid champion again, which last season was blank.
