Following an explosive 3-1 victory for Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup 1st leg, the two Spanish giants meet again Today, Wednesday 16th August, 2017 in the 2nd leg.

The 1st leg of the Super Cup will be remembered for Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo being sent off for two yellow cards in two minutes. Firstly, Ronaldo was booked for taking his shirt off whilst celebrating his spectacular strike that gave Madrid a 2-1 lead, his second yellow card was issued for diving following a challenge from Samuel Umtiti.

Real Madrid will now be looking to add the Spanish Super Cup to the European Super Cup they won against Manchester United in their first competitive fixture of the 2017/18 season.
