Real Madrid win the Spanish Super Cup courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid have won the 2021-22 Spanish Super Cup courtesy of a 2-0 victory over fellow La Liga outfit Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

Los Blancos booked their spot in the final of the competition by beating Barcelona 3-2 after extra time, while Athletic recorded a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the second semi-final affair.

Luka Modric sent Carlo Ancelotti's side ahead in the 38th minute of the contest before Karim Benzema doubled their advantage from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute.

A handball against Yeray Alvarez was awarded after a VAR check, and Benzema made no mistake to hand the La Liga leaders a two-goal advantage, which Marcelino's side could not recover from.

Athletic had a golden chance to make it a grandstand finish, as a handball from Eder Militao inside the penalty box led to the Brazil international's dismissal, with the Basque side earning a spot kick of their own.

However, Thibaut Courtois came up with a huge save to deny Raul Garcia, with Los Blancos managing to keep their clean sheet intact in Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid have now won the Spanish Super Cup on 12 occasions, and the trophy is Ancelotti's first in his second spell at Bernabeu.
