Real Madrid have benefited from the away goal rule to edge Barcelona and win the Spanish Super Cup with a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu. The Liga holders scored twice in the first 18 minutes through Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo, before Lionel Messi pulled one back for Barca with a superlative freekick. But the 4-4 tie meant that Los Merengues claimed the victory thanks to their two goals at the Nou Camp.
