This season Real Madrid 2021/2022 is willing to win it everything and receive Kylian Mbappé next summer with the extended title showcase. On this occasion the meringues defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and won the Spanish Super Cup .
The strokes and magic on the pitch wielded by a giant like Luka Modric, as well as the solid goalkeeping of Thibaut Courtois , were the main elements to defeat this Sunday 16 from January to the Basques, who came inspired and packed after defeating Atlético de Madrid in the semifinals of the tournament.
What was seen on the pitch at the King Fahd International Stadium is worth keeping in the video library of football lovers. From the initial whistle, both clubs looked for the match, but it was Italian Carlo Ancelotti’s men who managed to take control of the match through monopoly of the ball.
Athletic could have gotten closer on the scoreboard at the end of the game, it could have put Real Madrid in trouble and extended the Super Cup final, but it was once again the Belgian goalkeeper who wanted to be the protagonist.
A header by Raúl García hit the left hand of Éder Militao, which prevented a sung goal and therefore earned the Brazilian central defender the red card. From the penalty spot, the player from Pamplona ran into Courtois so that the game ended in zero for Athletic.
#OJOALDATO – Ancelotti has already won the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Cup, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup with Real Madrid. He only needs to win La Liga to be the first coach in the club’s history to win all 6 main titles. pic.twitter.com/yjjvPm4tzD— MisterChip (Alexis) (@2010MisterChip) January 16, 2022
