Match of the Day Prediction: Real Madrid vs Sevilla

Back-up keeper Kiko Casilla will also have the chance to get some minutes in the absence of regular shot stopper Keylor Navas.

Marco Asensio had put Real Madrid in front with a stunning strike from 25 yards. In the 2015/16 campaign, the Spanish capital clubs Real and Atletico Madrid faced each other in the final and it was the former who went on to win their record 11th European trophy.

Everything pointed towards the Portugal worldwide joining his national team partners Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe in Madrid, but Barcelona beat their strongest rivals in the race to sign the midfielder.

Having set to traverse the world of being both a player and a coach of the same sport, Zidane is poised to become the fifth person to win the Super Cup under the inspiration of Carlo Ancelotti, Diego Simeone, Luis Enrique, and Pep Guardiola.

Casemiro, who spent 2014-15 at FC Porto, has risen from a fringe player under Rafa Benitez to an irreplaceable figure under Zidane.

The Champions League winners take on Sevilla tonight at 19:45 GMT in the Super Cup Final.

The attacking midfielder is reportedly a target for a loan to West Ham in order to gain first-team experience, but Zidane admitted that anything can happen. Meanwhile, Madrid’s history of dramatic late European final victories continues, albeit this time with a new hero.

Life has not always been easy for Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. We’re missing some important players, but we’re delighted with the great squad we have, and someone or another will come forward.

Zidane had suggested recently that Asensio, who earned tonight’s start with performances during the recent US tour, will not go back out on loan again for 2016-17. Sign an intermediate player for big money?

If a team can successfully play in the hardest tournament and win it, is there a need to break the balance and bring new players to the team? More than that, they scored exactly two goals per game, but it’s good to know that their opponents have been teams like Mainz, St. Pauli, Granada, Santa Fe, Sandhausen or River Plate.
