The2017 Supercopa de España was the 34th edition of theSupercopa de España, an annual two-leggedfootball tie contested by the winners of the previous season'sLa Liga andCopa del Rey competitions.
The tie was played in August 2017 between the winners of the2016–17 Copa del Rey and holders of the Supercopa,Barcelona, and the champions of the2016–17 La Liga,Real Madrid. This was the first time since the2012 edition that the Supercopa featuredEl Clásico.
Real Madrid won the Supercopa de España 5–1 on aggregate for their 10th title.[1]
The first half of the match ended goalless. Five minutes into the second half,Marcelo fired a ground cross that deflected offPiqué's foot, resulting in anown goal. Four minutes later, Real Madrid had a great opportunity to score when Benzema did a stepover and evaded Pique's tackle, then sent a cross toDani Carvajal across the goal and Carvajal shot butJordi Alba cleared it on the goal line. In the 70th minute,Cristiano Ronaldo scored after a pass fromCasemiro but it was ruled offside. Seven minutes later,Luis Suárez was brought down in the box byKeylor Navas, resulting in a penalty, which was subsequently converted byMessi.[2][3]
Messi's strike marked his 25th goal in the fixture.[4] Three minutes later, in the 80th minute, Real scored their second through a counter attack whenIsco assisted Ronaldo with a long ball who shot into the top right corner from the edge of the box. Ronaldo was booked for removing his shirt as part of the celebration. Two minutes later he was booked again by the referee for allegedly diving when he collided withSamuel Umtiti in the box, which resulted in a second yellow card to become ared card, therefore getting suspended for the second leg. Ronaldo was later given a five-match suspension after replays showed him push the referee in frustration for the red card. Real's last goal was scored in the 90th minute in similar fashion to the second, whenAsensio shot into the top left corner following an assist fromLucas Vázquez.[5][6][7]

The first goal came quite early in the second leg through a Real throw-in the fourth minute following a poor clearance from Samuel Umtiti which resulted in the ball landing in the youngMarco Asensio's feet who scored from 30+ yards out with his left foot.[8] In the 32nd minute, Benzema stole the ball fromJavier Mascherano and passed it to Lucas Vazquez in the center of the box who then hit the left post.
Eight minutes after the half-hour mark,Marcelo sent a ground cross in forBenzema who controlled it backwards with his right foot and finished with a left foot half-volley straight into the bottom corner of the net which was enough for the victory. Six minutes after the start of the second half,Raphaël Varane made a poor pass toMateo Kovačić to let Suarez recover the ball and pass it to Messi who then hit the crossbar inside the box. In the 70th minute,Andre Gomes took a throw in and played it to Suarez who then made a body feint and dribbled pastDani Carvajal. Suarez then played a through ball toSergi Roberto on the left side of the box who toe poked the ball, which was saved by Navas. Varane's header fell toIvan Rakitic a few yards outside the box who then passed the ball to Messi who took a shot, which was saved by Navas, and the deflection fell in the path of Suarez who performed a diving header that bounced off the right side post and went out of play.[9]
There was lesser action for the last 20 minutes, althoughThéo Hernandez,Dani Ceballos andNélson Semedo came on to make their official debuts respectively.[10][11]
