2017 Supercopa de España


The 2017 Supercopa de España was the 34th edition of the Supercopa de España, an annual two-legged football tie contested by the winners of the previous season's La Liga and Copa del Rey competitions.
The tie was played in August 2017 between the winners of the 2016–17 Copa del Rey and holders of the Supercopa, Barcelona, and the champions of the 2016–17 La Liga, Real Madrid. This was the first time since the 2012 edition that the Supercopa featured El Clásico.
Real Madrid won the Supercopa de España 5–1 on aggregate for their 10th title.

First leg

Summary

The first half of the match ended goalless. Five minutes into the second half, Marcelo fired a cross that deflected off Piqué's foot, resulting in an own goal. In the 77th minute, Luis Suárez was brought down in the box by Keylor Navas, resulting in a penalty, which was subsequently converted by Messi.
Messi's hit marked his 25th goal in the fixture. In the 80 minute, Real scored their second through a counter attack when Isco assisted Ronaldo who shot into the top right corner from the edge of the box. Ronaldo was booked for removing his shirt as part of his celebrations. Two minutes later he was booked again by the referee for simulation, which resulted in a red card, therefore getting suspended for the second leg. Real's last goal was scored in the 90th minute in similar fashion to the second, when Asensio shot into the top left corner following an assist from Lucas Vázquez.

Second leg

Summary

The first goal came quite early in the second leg through a Real throw-in the fourth minute which resulted in getting the ball to the young Marco Asensio who scored from 30-yards out.
Nine minutes after the half-hour mark, Marcelo crossed in for Benzema to control who finished it with a half-volley straight into the back of the net which was enough for the victory. There was lesser action in the second half but, Theo Hernandez, Dani Ceballos and Nélson Semedo came on to make their official debuts respectively.
