The first home match of the season for real Madrid was on the most optimal scenario – the team of Zinedine Zidane before the break made clear to Barcelona that this year fight for the Supercup of Spain will not.
In fact, all became clear in the fifth minute when Marco Asensio brilliant kick sent the ball under a crossbeam of gate of Catalans. Real Madrid easily cracked the defenses of rivals and at the end of the half, went into the lead, Marcelo delivered a cross from the left flank and Benzema calmly locked transfer.
The second half has had no value – “Santiago Bernabeu” enjoyed another trophy and a sweet victory over Barcelona, and the Catalans with their heads down knew that for the first time in many years, they are significantly behind the capital giants.
