Real Madrid 2-1 Man Utd: Champions League champions win European Super Cup

(Baonghean.vn) - Even though superstar Ronaldo had to sit on the bench for most of the match due to lack of physical strength, Real Madrid still made the English representative regret.

Facing Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, Man Utd suffered a disadvantage in terms of force when two key central defenders Eric Bailly and Phil Jones were suspended. In addition, Luke Shaw, Rojo and Ashley Young continued to be absent for a long time due to injury.

On Real Madrid's side, despite the absence of Ronaldo, coach Zidane's students still played with the mentality of a superior team. The Spanish team controlled more than 60% of the ball possession time and completely outperformed in the number of passes.

In the 24th minute, Casemiro ran down and finished with one touch from Carvajal's exquisite long pass, opening the scoring of the match. This goal left much controversy when slow-motion replays showed that Casemiro was in an offside position before scoring.

Behind, Man United still could not show a brighter side, the strikers were quite unlucky in front of goalkeeper Navas' goal. Playing dominantly, Real Madrid continued to score the second goal in the 52nd minute. This time, Isco coordinated a one-two with Bale in the middle of a forest of red shirt defenders before defeating goalkeeper David De Gea in a face-to-face position.

Two minutes later, the striker that coach Jose Mourinho expected, Lukaku, had a chance to score from 5m away but his rebound shot unfortunately went up in the air. Before that, goalkeeper Navas had blocked Pogba's close-range header.

However, Man Utd fans did not have to wait long as the Belgian striker succeeded in his next shot in the 62nd minute. The rest of the match, most notably, was Man United's sharp counter-attack. Rashford had a dangerous shot in the penalty area but goalkeeper Navas saved Real a goal. And 2-1 was the final result of the match. Thereby, Real Madrid officially won the European Super Cup.

After successfully defending the Champions League title, this is the second consecutive season Real Madrid won the European Super Cup.
