4 – That Spanish Super Cup
The Supercopa de Espana is one that holds both good and bad memories for Madridista’s. Despite battering Barcelona 5-1 across two legs to lift the trophy, it was marred with the controversial red card to Ronaldo and the subsequent season of disappointment. So why does it make this list you might ask? There were some fantastic goals in this game and we ultimately still put a beat down on Barcelona.
The first leg saw Pique score an own goal (which is always a good time) which was then followed by Cristiano Ronaldo’s superb goal, a signature cut in from the left before sending a pile-driver of a shot past Ter-Stegen from distance, though he was sent off shortly after in a bizarre call. Marco Asensio then piled more misery on Barcelona with his stunning goal in the 90th minute.
In the second leg at home, Real beat Barcelona 2-0. A goal from Frenchman Benzema and another screamer from Asensio compounded Barca to a 5-1 demolition across both legs.
