Real Madrid snatch European Super Cup with two late goals against Sevilla

Dani Carvajal scored a stunning extra-time goal, following on from Sergio Ramo’s last-gasp equaliser at the end of regulation time, to clinch the European Super Cup for Real Madrid against Sevilla.

Jorge Sampaoli’s side looked set to lift the first piece of silverware of the continental season following goals from Franco Vazquez and Yevhen Konoplyanka, but Ramos found the net in the 94th minute to force extra-time.

Timothee Kolodziejczak was shown a second yellow card in extra-time to reduce Sevilla to 10 men, giving Real Madrid the advantage. It eventually told as Carvajal scored a late winner to win the match before it went to a penalty shootout.

Marco Asensio scored the opener for Los Blancos in Trondheim and impressed throughout, making a case for himself ahead of the start of the new Spanish Liga season. Alvaro Morata failed to make an impression, however, as Real Madrid stumbled towards a European Super Cup win, despite Sevilla’s dominance of much of the contest.

Considering that Real Madrid appealed the transfer ban handed them in order to ensure that they can make signings this summer, it’s somewhat peculiar that they have been so quiet. The likes of James and Isco are rumoured to be on the transfer list which would suggest that the Spanish capital club will be active before the window shuts at the end of the month. This performance hinted that, indeed, something is missing.

The youngster spent last season on loan at Espanyol but is now back at his parent club Real Madrid this summer. But after an impressive pre-season Asensio has forced his way into the first-team fold and marked his senior debut with a stunning goal. Could he be something of a breakthrough star for Real Madrid this season?
