23:20
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

64: A few choice words between Ramos and Messi after that foul, with the former tipping the ball away from the Barcelona captain, to which there was a frustrated reply. I can't speak Spanish but I'm betting it was 'gracias amigo'.
23:17
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

62: Real Madrid are doing well to put sustained pressure on the Barcelona box before Messi is fouled by Ramos for the free kick.

The hosts then make their first change of the evening as Kovacic is replaced by Casemiro.

He makes a darting run into the box after a brilliant lay off from Suarez, leaving Varane and Carvajal in his wake, but his hammered effort is pushed onto the underside off the crossbar by Navas before going wide.

A let off for Real.

REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

HALF-TIME STATS

22:44
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

A completely dominant first half from Real Madrid with two great goals from Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema seeing the hosts 5-1 ahead on aggregate.

Barcelona have had half chances, mostly through Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but realistically, they haven't looked like getting any goals back. They need four in the second half, but you can never write them off... Just ask PSG.
22:44
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

45: No added time and that's the half.
22:43
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

44: Another fine effort from Benzema as he dances towards the top of the box and lets fly, but it flashes high over the crossbar.
22:42
REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (5-1 agg)

43: Real Madrid continue to dominate after their goal. Cristiano Ronaldo is in the stands, but his side are doing just fine without him at the moment!

22:37
GOAL! REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA (Benzema, 39; 5-1 agg)

Another fantastic goal from Real Madrid and like I said before, they have been pushing for that second goal and there's no doubting that they deserve it.

Marcelo fires a cross into the box from the left flank which Benzema controls with his outstretched foot before turning and hitting home on the half volley.

It's a goal full of skill and Real Madrid are cruising to the Spanish Super Cup title.
22:37
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

38: Real Madrid are by far and away the better side this evening, and should be even further ahead than they are already. They are putting plenty of pressure on the Barcelona box and doing well to win the ball back when they lose possession.
22:35
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

36: After Vazquez's effort, Barcelona nearly had a fine chance down the other end as Suarez got away down the right-hand side and whipped a ball into the box. Andres Gomes got his head to it but it was not strong enough to direct goalwards.
22:33
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

34: OFF THE POST!!! So lucky for Barcelona as Vazquez absolutely hammers a shot from the top of the box against the crossbar before it falls back into the box.

I can still see it rattling from here and that was a thunderous effort. Real Madrid are looking very threatening indeed.
22:31
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

32: Vazquez is at it again on the right flank and he has the Barca defence on toast every time he gets down there. This time, his cross is for Benzema in the box but Pique goes for a high boot clearance that comes off for him as the ball goes behind for a corner.
22:30
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

31: CLOSE!! That should really have been two as Vazquez dances into the box as he is afforded acres of space on the right flank, and cuts back for Kroos.

The German goes for goal but his shot just edges past the back post. So close.
22:27
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

28: As ever, a good delivery from the Barca captain and it meets the head of Pique but Raphael Varane marks him well as he stumbles while getting to the ball to send it wide.
22:26
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

27: Free kick to Barcelona in a great position, around 25 yards from goal and almost dead centre. Rakitic is clipped by Ramos on a mazy tun with Messi over the set-piece for the visitors...
22:25
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

26: CHANCE! Good hold-up play from Benzema there as he gets in between the two defenders, and waits for the cavalry to turn up before tapping back to Asensio at the top of the box but his shot it put behind by Ter Stegen.

A corner is taken quickly as Barcelona look to get themselves into position, and Ramos nearly heads home but his effort is just scrambled away before it heads goalwards.
22:22
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

23: A good delivery from Kroos but Gerard Pique heads away the initial ball before Ter Stegen is out to punch it away properly.
22:21
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

22: Free kick in a great position on the right flank as Modric is fouled by Alba. Kroos is lining this one up again...
22:20
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

21: CLOSE! A fantastic break from the home side as Marcelo races down the left wing after collecting the ball near the centre line. He plays a great pass into the path of Benzema but it just has a little bit too much zip on it and rolls past the Frenchman.
22:18
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

19: CHANCE!! That should be a goal back for Barcelona as Messi races towards the by-line before cutting back for Suarez in the goal mouth but some fantastic defending from Ramos sees his attempted tap home kept at bay.

Barcelona are seeing the better of the ball now...
22:17
REAL MADRID 1-0 BARCELONA (4-1 agg)

18: Nearly a fine solo effort from Lionel Messi - who does have some previous of doing so in an El Clasico - but his attempted cross-come-shot is pushed away by Navas before he also pounces on the rebound.

Jordi Alba is doing well down the left flank now the game has settled down for the visitors, with one pass just being stolen out of the path of Suarez before another is saved well by Navas.
