Real Madrid complete Super Cup rout of Barcelona

Real Madrid shrugged off the absence of the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo to cruise past rivals Barcelona 2-0 in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup to cap a 5-1 aggregate win.

We played a great match tonight,” said Zidane. “Especially in the first half it was spectacular.”

Zidane even had the luxury of leaving first-team regulars Gareth Bale, Isco and Casemiro on the bench as Real’s strength in depth was demonstrated in a dominant first 45 minutes.

“This team has hunger and every time we play it shows,” added Zidane.
