No trophy this time… Here is the immediate reaction to the final. Do not miss: Player ratings, spicy interviews and a live podcast with Kiyan. Atlético Madrid had been beaten, but Barcelona would be a whole different beast in the Spanish SuperCup final.

Courtois made another save from Sorloth at his near post before Madrid’s defence were plunged into more problems. Alonso substituted Antonio Rudiger — who was an injury doubt heading into the match — and Raul Asencio in the 69th minute, with the latter looking disappointed on the bench.

Despite training with the team, Mbappe getting minutes for Real Madrid against FC Barcelona is still in question. According to Marca, Kylian Mbappe will not start the game for Real Madrid against FC Barcelona. Real Madrid are likely to start Gonzalo Garcia in the striker position.
