SPANISH SUPER CUP: ATLETICO 1 REAL 0 - Mario Mandzukic Shoots Simeone's Men To Glory

Atlético Madrid claimed the first trophy of the Spanish season by defeating city rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, thanks to a 1-0 second leg victory over Los Blancos on Friday night at the Vicente Calderón. New striker Mario Mandzukic's second minute goal held up the whole way as the Rojiblancos earned the silverware thanks to a 2-1 advantage on aggregate.

Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone's 4-2-3-1 consisted of Miguel Ángel Moyá in goal, Juanfran, João Miranda, Diego Godin and Siquiera in defense. Gabi and Tiago slotted in as defensive midfielders while Koke, Antoine Griezmann and Raul Garcia formed the attacking midfield behind lone striker Mario Mandzukic.

There was talk out of the Real Madrid camp that head coach Carlo Ancelotti would opt for new arrival Keylor Navas over Iker Casillas in goal, but in the end the Italian stuck with the Spanish veteran. Joining Casillas was a back four of Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane and Fabio Coentrao. The midfield was anchored by Luka Modric, Xabi Alonso and Toni Kroos while up front Cristiano Ronaldo was still hampered by the injury he sustained in Tuesday first leg so his spot was conceded to new arrival James.
