Real Madrid 2 Barcelona 0: Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema score fine goals in Super Cup win

Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema scored brilliant first-half goals as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0 on the night to register a resounding 5-1 aggregate Supercopa win.

Zinedine Zidane's side, comfortable 3-1 first-leg winners on Sunday, put Cristiano Ronaldo's five-game ban behind them by out-playing their arch-rivals again as moments of magic from Asensio and Benzema put them out of sight.

Asensio's superb, swerving early strike set the tone at the Bernabeu and Benzema added a second six minutes before half-time to leave a dispirited Barca staring at a heavy defeat.

It’s a big game for?

Gareth Bale. The Welshman can expect to be brought back into the fray following Ronaldo’s five-match ban and now has the chance to prove his worth to manager Zinedine Zidane. In light of Isco’s sublime form in recent months, questions have been raised over Bale’s place in Real’s starting XI but this can be his big moment to shine in Ronaldo’s absence.
