Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup for the 10th time with a 2-0 win over Barcelona at a joyous Bernabeu on Wednesday to complete a 5-1 aggregate victory.

Marco Asensio followed up his brilliant late goal in Sunday’s first-leg with a stunning effort from 30 metres in the fourth minute that proved a punishing blow for the Catalans.

Real dominated throughout, toying with Ernesto Valverde’s side and showing no sign that it was Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale. Karim Benzema struck before half-time to seal victory.

The result : Real Madrid 2 (Asensio 4, Benzema 39) bt Barcelona 0 (Real Madrid won 5-1 on aggregate) .
