Athletic Club vs Real Madrid LIVE!

Athletic will look to defend their Supercopa de Espana crown when they face Real Madrid in the final in Riyadh this evening.

They beat Barcelona 3-2 in the final last year, and after producing a late comeback to get the better of Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals earlier this week, Athletic will be in confident mood against Real.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side booked their place in the final with an extra-time victory over Barcelona, Federico Valverde the hero as he netted the winner, and they lifted the trophy the last time the competition was concluded in Saudi Arabia.

Real have lost just one of their last 19 matches in all competitions, and the La Liga leaders are very much favourites to beat Athletic tonight. They also have the added boost of two wins already against Athletic this season.

Real Madrid have their first piece of silverware in the season, and the first of Carlo Ancelotti’s second-spell.

Luca Modrid and Karim Benzema with the goals in a 2-0 win, as Courtois’ late penalty save prevented any late drama.

Real much the better side, and they have the trophy to show for it.

90+3 mins: Valverde has it in his own corner, brings out the backheel to keep possession and ease the pressure.

Aside from that handball from Militao, it’s been a really professional performance from Real.

90 mins: Vazquez off, Fernandez on for the last few minutes.

Athletic know their chance has gone. Had that penalty gone in, we were set for a grandstand finish.

As it is, these four minutes of stoppage time will likely be a procession for Real.

PENALTY MISSED!

Well that might be the hopes of a comeback over.

Raul Garcia sees his penalty saved by Courtois! Straight down the middle, Courtois dives to his right but sticks a leg out and it’s saved.

Huge moment, probably a match-winning one.

PENALTY ATHLETIC!

Well, well, well. AND A RED CARD!

Militao has been sent-off. What an incredible few minutes we have left now.

86 mins: Ancelotti just trying to see this match out now. Marcelo on to replace Vinicius.

The left-back has 18 trophies to his name as a Real player, and he’s about five minutes away from making it 19.

Yuri stands a lovely ball up, Garcia throws himself at it and it deflects off Militao and over the bar. It’s handball too... VAR check!

84 mins: Pressure certainly building and there’s a bit of chaos in the Real box.

Nico Williams digs out a nice cross, and Militao blasts it against Serrana and it bounces back at goal, but Courtois is alert to claim the ball.

1642364070

82 mins: Starting to become a bit shoot-on-sight from Athletic.

Serrana cuts inside and lets fly from distance, straight at Courtois. Real have hardly had a touch in the last five minutes, but that wouldn’t bother them too much.

80 mins: Martinez lining up a free-kick, 25 yards out. Perfect angle for the left-footer.

Not a perfect effort though, straight into the wall. Time really starting to run out for Athletic.
