Real Madrid will take on Barcelona once again in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday after beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Thursday’s semi-final between the two city rivals.
Federico Valverde gave Real Madrid the perfect start against Atletico, smashing a ferocious free-kick past Jan Oblak for the opener just minutes after kick-off.
Rodrygo then doubled Madrid’s lead 10 minutes into the second half, although Alexander Sorloth pulled one back quickly to give Diego Simeone’s side hope of a comeback.
Yet Atletico couldn’t find another goal as Real Madrid saw out the win and booked another date with Barcelona.
Hansi Flick’s side ran out 5-2 winners when the two teams met in last season’s final, but Real Madrid won the first Clasico of this season back in October with a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu.
