Real Madrid repeated a triumph with clear superiority before their great rival, Barcelona, in the return of the Supercopa of Spain (2-0), a party marked by a new goal and the brilliance of Marco Asensio and the Madridistas superiority in a First half overwhelming, with stifling high pressure.
It was the first game of this course in which Zinedine Zidane's team managed to keep the door to zero.
The keys of the conquest of the Supercopa of Spain by Real Madrid were:
1 Asensio stellar: the golden boy raised the Santiago Bernabéu, caused a common reaction in 80,000 people, hands to the head and faces of amazement before a new leap 30 meters to the squad. His party was not only the great goal that broke the final in the 4 minutes and made it impossible to hope for a comeback Barca. He had fun on a big date: he showed his personality, he always gave speed to the game, heel heels, he shined in the pass and in the transition. The difference with the performances of Gareth Bale as the owner fuel an uncontrollable debate.
2 High pressure and possession: the advantage of two goals of the first leg did not invite speculation to Real Madrid players. They feel superior in the present to the Barcelona and they went away to demonstrate it before a liking that enjoys to the maximum of the moment of supremacy. They settled in rival field with a line of very high pressure that asfixió the baroque construction and canceled one of its signs of identity. With theft on opposing terrain, Zidane's bet was to play with speed and finish plays. For the first time in many years, possession fell on Madrid side.
3 The resurrection of Benzema: he had not been seen to date in the preseason and left his best match of the course. It came well the change in defense of three of the coach of Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, to find spaces to exploit their virtues. He also favored the change of Zidane by giving Bale rest and placing a drawing with a second line. He rescued his scoring scorer to sign the sentence with looting, after overtaking Samuel Umtiti. He was hungry for his first goal, to avoid the appearance of criticism in a year without competition.
4 Goalkeeping to zero for the first time: Keylor Navas had the fortune that a goalkeeper always needs in big games. He saw Leo Messi crash a cross on the crossbar and Luis Suárez headed the post, but Real Madrid managed not to concede goals for the first time. The defense was the only line on which Zidane did not rotate. Barcelona needed goals for the comeback and found the Real Madrid firmness. Especially brilliant was Raphaël Varane, who grows without Pepe to take gallons as a pair of Sergio Ramos.
5 Kovacic and the aid cage against Messi: as happened at the Camp Nou, one of the keys was to void Leo Messi. For this Zidane repeated individual marking with Mateo Kovacic, who took the ovation of his fans. He pursued him all over the field to prevent him from shining with a system of aid that always found the collaboration of Toni Kroos or the rapid exit from the cave of Sergio Ramos. The Madrid coach gave a new turn to the offensive pieces and returned to be superior to Valverde with his defense bet of three.
