Real Madrid vs Valencia

Real Madrid take on Valencia in the first semi-final in the Spanish Super Cup 2023. Kick-off in Saudi Arabia at 2pm ET.

Thanks for joining me (Roddy) as the Spanish Super Cup 2023 gets underway in…Saudi Arabia. The former Liverpool boss also won a UEFA Cup in 2004, which went some way to making up for defeats in Champions League finals in 2000 (under Héctor Cúper) and 2002. Valencia work it well from left to right and Lato is the spare man at the far post. After a fairly even start, Real Madrid were first to crank up the pressure, with Rodrygo, Benzema and Valverde all shooting just wide in quick succession. The referee gives a free-kick (not sure it was) and Cavani is booked for protesting. What a start to the second half! He spots Kluivert on the edge of the box and the Dutchman's strike is goalbound until the defender gets his big head in the way. But it's long after the referee has blown for a free-kick to Valencia for a handball by Vinícius. But we're happy, we're in the final, where we want to be." Gayá missed a penalty on the left and the other day he scored in the middle, so I knew he would go to the middle or to the right and I went half-and-half. There was to be no further scoring and it was Real Madrid who held their nerve in the shootout, as if there was any doubt. Last week they toiled badly to a narrow victory in the Copa del Rey against fourth-tier Cacereño (remember them?).

"We had some very nice moments. "It was a coincidence that no Spaniards played. We have quality, but we have to provide a more solid base than what we showed. "It was foreseeable that we would not be at our best, but I was surprised by the match against Villarreal. Now there are a lot of games and we haven't had a workload because of the World Cup, it was just a bad game." You have to do something different. "I don't think it was because of the World Cup.
