Atletico Beat Rivals, Real Madrid to Win Spanish Super Cup
- Updated: August 23, 2014
Real Madrid’s noisy neighbours, Atletico , were at it again in the early hours of Saturday morning in the Spanish capital as the La Liga champions beat Real Madrid again, this time in the Spanish Super Cup.
Money might buy a club the best players from the last World Cup but Atletico Madrid’s motivation and organisation continued to be absolutely priceless and it was too much for Carlo Ancelotti’s confused European Champions who were behind after 80 seconds and never found a way back.
With the league season due to start this weekend all is not as it should be for Ancelotti.
Midfielder Sami Khedira went to watch his brother play in Germany, Angel Di Maria was left out of the squad completely, and the Argentine is now being tempted by bitter rivals, Barcelona, while Cristiano Ronaldo was left on the bench not fit to start.
With no Ronaldo or Di Maria the onus was very much on Bale who has been Real Madrid’s best player in pre-season but before the Welshman could have an impact a defence strangely missing the benched Pepe was embarrassed by Atletico’s first attack.
