Real Madrid Take the Spanish Super Cup Title in Style
Blaugrana Bow to Los Blancos in Second Leg Clash
Dominant Performance from Real Madrid
Real Madrid emerged victorious in the second leg of the 2017 Spanish Super Cup, claiming the title after a convincing 2-0 defeat of their arch-rivals Barcelona. The Blancos showcased their superiority with a dominant display at the Camp Nou, leaving no doubt as to their credentials as La Liga's top team.
Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 50th minute through Marco Asensio, who capitalized on a defensive error to fire a low shot past Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. The visitors doubled their lead 10 minutes later, as Karim Benzema headed home a Toni Kroos cross with precision.
Barcelona struggled to find their rhythm throughout the match, as Real Madrid's defense stood firm and snuffed out any potential threats. The Blaugrana's attack was largely ineffective, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez failing to have any significant impact on the game.
Real Madrid's victory extends their dominance over Barcelona in recent years. The Blancos have now won four of the last five Spanish Super Cups, a testament to their consistency and quality.
