‎Real Madrid has beat Atletico Madrid to set up a Clasico meeting with Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.
‎Thursday’s semi-final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was only 77 seconds in when Los Blancos captain Valverde sent a 30-yard free-kick fizzing past Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak into the top corner.
‎Rodrygo doubled Real’s lead 10 minutes into the second half with a finish past Oblak, though his first touch to control a Valverde pass before accelerating away from defender Robin Le Normand was the highlight.
‎Alexander Sorloth pulled a goal back for Atletico, but it was the 13-time Super Cup winners who prevailed to reach Sunday’s final
‎The Spanish Super Cup final will take place in Jeddah after Saudi Arabia and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) extended a deal to play the tournament in the country until 2029.
