We're underway at the Bernabeu.
Barcelona's cause has been boosted, although they still face a massive challenge to overturn the deficit at the Bernabeu. Ernesto Valverde will not want his first clash with Real to end in a defeat.
Real will have to play on tonight and for the start of the season without Ronaldo as he was sent off in the first leg for two bookable offences. The first was for taking his shirt off after his goal, while second was for simulation. He did not take Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea's decision well and shoved the referee, resulting in a further four-game ban.
Zinedine Zidane's men hold a 3-1 lead from the first leg thanks to an own goal from Gerard Pique, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Asensio. Barcelona had equalised through Lionel Messi before Real's late salvo put them in control of the contest.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Spanish Super Cup second leg clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.

The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 2-0 BARCELONA

The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway again shortly.
FULL-TIME: REAL MADRID 2 (5) - 0 (1) BARCELONA
Real Madrid ease to victory to win the Spanish Super Cup. Goals from Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema compounded their advantage from the first leg, with Barcelona unable to break the deadlock, despite a few close chances in the second half.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
It's another trophy for Zinedine Zidane as Real manager, continuing his run of success. Ernesto Valverde can now see the huge challenge ahead of him to unseat Real from the LaLiga and Champions League summit.
