Real Madrid vs Valencia 5 - 4 (Super Cup 2023 Goals & Highlights)

Real Madrid will play either Barcelona or Real Betis in the 2022/23 Supercopa de Espana final after eventually securing a penalty shootout win over Valencia in their semi-final tie.

Los Blancos came into the mini-tournament in Saudi Arabia off the back of a La Liga defeat to Villarreal at the weekend and a laboured Copa del Rey win over lower league Cacareno before that.

Carlo Ancelotti named a relatively strong team for the game, with Karim Benzema flanked up front by Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior. Luka Modric had been left out but came on at half-time.

Rodrygo and Benzema had early chances that they couldn’t take, as did Federico Valverde and Vinicius. But things still looked to be going to plan in the closing stages of the first half when Benzema earned a penalty following a clumsy challenge from Eray Comert.
