Real Madrid reached the final of the Spanish Super Cup in a thrilling duel with city rivals Atlético Madrid. The Royals won 5:3 (3:3, 2:2) following extra time in Riyadh on Wednesday. In the final on Sunday, the Madrilenians will face the winner of the game between FC Barcelona and CA Osasuna. The second semi-final will also take place on Thursday in the Saudi capital, where the Spanish Super Cup will be held for the third time in a row.
Only in the final phase of extra time did Real, who played without the injured ÖFB captain David Alaba, decide the game with an own goal from Stefan Savic (116th) and a goal from Brahim Diaz (120th + 2). The German team defender Antonio Rüdiger scored a goal like an own goal. At Atlético, Antoine Griezmann scored his 174th goal for the club, making him the Madrilenians’ record goalscorer. Before the game there was a minute of mourning for football icon Franz Beckenbauer, who died on Sunday, and loud whistles might be heard from the stands.
