Real Madrid Win Spanish Supercopa

     Goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo helped Madrid to a 2-0 lead before Lionel Messi pegged one back, but the Catalans were unable to add another, and saw los Blancoswin the Supercup on the away-goals rule.It was an off day form the Barca defender, With the first two just came in the early minutes with a massive error from Pique and Mascherano . And later Adriano return early to the stands after two yellow. They just gave away their chances they have created in the first leg.

         But a super free kick from Lionel Messi makes it 4-4 in aggregate.The second-half was far more tense as a much-improved Barca had their chances to score again, but there was no way back for the visitors as Madrid hung on to claim the first trophy in Spain this season.Pepe returned from a concussion to start alongside Sergio Ramos in defence, but there was no place for new signing Luka Modric, who began the game on the bench.

Still, Madrid nearly responded in the dying embers of the first-half. Ronaldo’s 35-yard drive bounced inches wide, and Higuain also narrowly missed, after cutting onto his left foot deep inside the area.

Barca headed into the break knowing that they still had a lot of work to do, and looked to wrestle control from the hosts as the second-half unfolded.Madrid seemed content to sit back and protect their advantage, which allowed the Blaugranathe chance to dictate proceedings with their famed tiki-taka football.

Their improved endeavour was almost rewarded on the hour mark, after a searching ball from the back by Mascherano was taken in stride brilliantly by Pedro, who saw his shot met by an equally fantastic save from Casillas.The Spanish forward had another opening moments later after sneaking in on the right, but Casillas was again alert to stop him from poking home at the near post.

And in the 89th min a good set up from Xavi,Ineista,Alba and Messi, Would have done the job for Barca. But the shot from Messi just wide away few cm from the post.
