Madrid get season back on track with impressive Supercup win

Real Madrid players celebrate their Supercup win over rivals Barcelona

Goals from Gonzalo Higuain and, who else, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid claim their first trophy of the season on Wednesday night against arch rivals Barcelona, who had to play for more than an hour with ten men after Adriano was shown a straight red card in the 27th minute.
Barcelona had won the first leg 3-2, but Madrid's pair of away goals proved vital as their 2-1 win at the Bernabeau handed them the title on away goals. The Catalan side have won the last three Supercups.
Madrid showed they had recovered from their poor start to the league season with an incredible opening spell that overwhelmed their opponents.
