  This is how we live the game
  

On penalties, as in Miln, and after crossing the extension again, as in the five finals (five) that Madrid and Atltico have played since 2013, the new Spanish Super Cup was decided. It falls on the white side, that is, of Zidane, able to give an unexpected title to your team. The tenth that rises. Who marked the penalty of triumph? No need spoilers: Sergio RamosAttic martyrdom. His team combined the course with a great joy, with another souvenir for the trophy room. Courtois, in the 11 meters, for what Oblak again he did not know in the patbulo. Only ah not right, because before it was immense. (Narration and statistics: 0-0 (4-1))

It did not stop Simeone since the initial beep. Voices, gestures, arms, legs, anger to his own, to the referee … It only exhausts looking at him. It is hard not to take pity on the side of his team in the band closest to the bench. The one that falls. Behind him, the row of players not summoned and other members of the expedition, with a jacket and tie, accompanied him in the choir. All the Atletico, those of the grass and those from outside, started with the throttle in depth to the game, nothing to do with their first version of the semifinal against Bara or the one of the Valencian apathetic against the whites. The rojiblanca pressure drowned his rival, in the soon by two assignments of Ramos and Mendy, burdened at the exit. In a Joao Flix He had the clearest chance of the first part, receiving only on the front and shooting crookedly. In the other, Morata I resolved with a pool without yellow.

Kroos Y Modric they looked at each other uncomfortably, without air. I only found some space Casemiro, but on the horizon, see nothing but yours embedded between the two attic lines. Valverde, the dynamo of this new Madrid of Zidane, gets bored on the right side, more interior than steering wheel. Little damage, because yours is not the short and vertical dribble. Above, Jovic, the commitment of the French in this tournament, according to the match with VIP entry. Neither participated, nor sought, nor spent in a very flat Madrid. The forward was saved for the second part. Casemiro and Modric proved that there was a goalkeeper in the opposite frame in two distant shots, both intentionally. Oblak cut the ball both times as if stroking a cat, affectionate and safe.

Blacksmith Y Thomas they grew, although the Atlantic, like Madrid, lacks the edge that others of the greats of Europe look. The duel was dense and ugly, of low rhythm and scarce sight. The memory of the first two Super Cup matches was far away. It will be because of the vertigo that causes having the trophy in the band waiting or for lack of lungs, but the two teams circulated without any hurry, avoiding the slits to the maximum. In one case Casemiro was placed to finish off a strong crner (rubbed the crossbar) and in another, Mendy I just stumbled before Oblak, who again lies on the ball without disheveling the tup.

The irruption and Jovic

The good rojiblanca presentation got rid of the locker room, already battleships back. Also comfortable, but without the energy of the beginning. Play many games in one Simeone, using these covered sections to take oxygen, with the risks involved. This time I didn't have Messi in front of Benzema, therefore, the plan presented less cracks. He almost collapsed at the beginning of the second period, thanks – he reprimands – to Jovic. The boy stormed like a bull, looked like another. In five minutes I will show more that in the middle of the year he has been in Madrid, where he has barely played, everything must be said.

In two balls in depth, I split behind the opponent in half. In the first, three defenses were taken off while advancing towards the determined goalkeeper. In the repetition it was seen that he did not blink in the fight. Maybe he lacked picarda to look for something else in those crashes. In the next one, he had control of the times and quality, to stir in a second, knead twice, and cross it from left-handed close to the left stick of Oblak. Ah sigh of relief the Argentine technician, fast when launching the grass to Vitolo, the footballer who changed his face to his against Bara. The answer of ZZ It was Rodrygo. It moves the night. The bleachers sigh in each set, although far from the atmosphere of Thursday's semifinal. Ramos scared at this point, with an ugly ankle sprain. Losing the captain will not be good news for whites on the way to decisive minutes. He was the owner of the lace.

There was tension, the complaints to the referee were constant. The final is seven knots, now more for fear of defeat than for tactical corsses. Madrid regretted that Valverde made the difficult difficult, just to finish off near the goal line, Oblak whipped. The bitten ball came from another brave Jovic raid, now on the right wing, but the Uruguayan doubled on the shot, hitting and clearing at the same time. Hands to the head, because by then everyone knew the effect that a goal could have. Same reaction on the athletic side ten minutes to the end, for a very clear occasion of Morata, weak in the face to face Courtois. Zidane launched Mariano to the war and it was Rodrygo who had it in the 90s, only at the auction inside the area. Be intimidated by the Slovenian goal. The shot traveled meekly to his mittens. In the extension, known land, the appointment shrunk again. The chip moves (Vinicius, Arias, Savic…) they tried to avoid what seemed inevitable. Courtois corrected his own bad exit with a clearance to the remanguill. And Oblak record that he is a giant with a double stop to Modric and Mariano, two meters away.

Only Morata found a lonely road to Courtois, but Valverde intercepted him in deserved red. He did what he should to guarantee, at least, the penalties to Madrid. It was not wasted by whites, champions of the Spanish Super Cup.
