85' Rashford steps up and takes the free. Way over. No chance.
84' Carvajal booked for a trip on Rashford. He looked to be last man back. Dodgy one and not clear if Rashford would get to it but it's a free. Replays show it was a pull of the shirt. Quite silly from Carvajal.

46' We are back underway for the second half. Can United get a goal!?
One change at half-time. Marcus Rashford replaces Jesse Lingard.
Rashford is out warming up at the half. Could be the catalyst for change if he is coming on.
It looked like it would be all one way sailing at one stage in the first half. United have worked themselves into the game and pushed Real Madrid back though. They still haven't really tested Navas either.
45'+2' Half-time. The Casemiro goal seperates the two sides. Nice moment between Mourinho and Ronaldo as they enter the tunnel. Rui Faria gets a hug too.
45'+1' Bale breaks and passes to Isco, who lays it on to Modric. Isco eventually tries a ball in behind to Bale but that's got too much on it.
45' It is a chance. Lukaku battles with Ramos and he wins, gets a header off but it is never troubling Keylor Navas.
45' Casemiro with a trademark run and Pogba wins it back. One last attack for United maybe.

41' Valencia with another teasing cross, Varane with another headed clearance.

38' Muy ambicioso says the Spanish commentator. It most certainly was ambitious but it was way off!
36' Lukaku plays it out to the left to Pogba but his right-footed effort is blocked. Good move by United and much better from them.
35' Lukaku and Herrera are through. Loads of space to run into too but Lukaku is offside. The Spanish midfielder is upset because if Lukaku leaves it, he's onside.
34' Free from Herrera is too far away from Matic.
33' After that break, Pogba moves forward and Casemiro fouls him. Free in a dangerous position depending on the delivery.
Water break. United will be delighted. Real Madrid getting some tactics off Zidane but they might not be too happy as it breaks their stride.
29' Valencia with a wayward pass at the back. Benzema hesitates giving the pass through to Bale and he is offside. He was more onside than the goal but this time the glaf does go up.
28' More of the same. Real Madrid knocking on the door again. United can't get anywher near them. Bale sends a cross in and United finally get it back. That's before the give it straight back to Real Madrid. They're back on the attack.
26' United chasing shadows at the moment.
24' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Casemiro with the finish. That was coming. Casemiro slots home from a ball over the top by Carvajal. He had a look to see ig he was offide and replays show he was but no flag.
22' Good hands by De Gea. Modric tries a cross form the touchline. It takes a deflection and comes straight at the keeper. He collects. Not much time to think for that one.

21' Cross from Marcelo towards Benzema is headed out to Carvajal, who sends it back where it came from but it's sent back once again. Real Madrid really knocking on the door.
19' Bale goes down just outside the box and has a look at the referee. He doesn't protest too much but questions the ref with his eyes. Ref answers back with no whistle.
Take a moment out to say.. this is a belter of a game so far!
18' Carvajal does too much. He goes by Lingard with ease and then looks for contact off the United player but Lingard jumps out of the way. Poor clearance by United and Casemiro gets a shot away but it's high and De Gea never under pressure.
16' Oh, Casemiro bends down low and headers the ball against the cross bar and out to safety from the corner. Great chance.
16' Scare for United. Bale and Benzema link up and the Frenck striker nearly gets room to take a shot. He passes to Modric, who is off balance. Real Madrid eventually win the corner.

9' Herrera goes through the back of Kroos now and gives away a free. Real Madrid glad of the break. All United so far.
8' Mkhitaryan nutmegs Ramos and goes by him. The Armenian falls but Ramos tells him to get up. Referee doesn't think it was a free either. Could have been trouble for Bale if that was deemed a free.
7' United flirting outside Real Madrid's penalty area. Lukaku and Pogba try for a 1-2 but Real Madrid clear.
6' Pogba sets Lingard away but a good tackle and the ball makes its way back to Navas. Real Madrid back in possession.
5' Pogba with a seriously hefty challenge on Casemiro. The Brazilian remains down. Replays suggest it wasn't as bad as it looked, just a shoulder. Real Madrid restart.
4' Kroos with loads of time and he finds Bale, who makes a smart run. His cross is cleared and United break. Navas kicks Varane's backpass out for a throw.
3' Bale with a real chance. Cross from Marcelo is deflected into the air and Matic misses it, not even going for it, and Bale hits it wide. What a chance. Poor defending from United.
2' Marcelo throw reaches Benzema in behind United's defence. It makes it to Bale and he wins a corner.
1' Long ball down to Lukaku and Real Madrid have confusion at the back. Navas comes out but Ramos headers it up to him. navas recovers and collects.
1' Here we go! We are underway for the first trophy of the season.
Ronaldo, Kovacic and Vazquez on the bench looking relaxed.
Teams being led out onto the field now. United in their traditional red and Real Madrid in black second strip. Sergio Ramos carrying the Champions League trophy. Valencia brings the Europa League trophy out.
Some traditional Macedonian music and dancing to get us started here. Nice touch.
Jose Mourinho has lost the two Super Cups he has played in, against Milan with Porto and against Munich with Chelsea. No manager has ever lost three!
Real Madrid will wear their black strips tonight.
Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente, Borja Mayoral and Jesus Vallejo have all been left out of the squad. Zidane named a 24-man squad but has left the four summer arrivals out of the first game of the season. Theo Hernandez is the only new signing to make the squad.
Zidane lucky enough to be afforded the chance to start almost the exact same team as he did in Cardiff. The only exception is Ronaldo is out and Bale is in. given recent form, Ronaldo is a huge loss but really not losing too much with Bale if he can influence this game.
With Phil Jones and Eric Bailly suspended, Mourinho picks Smalling and Lindleof in defense. Will be interesting to see what kind of partnership they can form having looked a little slow to get started in preseason.
Gareth Bale starts for Zidane. Ronaldo might see minutes but has been left off after just three days of training since his return from holidays. Zidane says he is in the same shape as he was for the Champions League final but doesn't make the starting XI.
Mourinho's defense is not what you would call strong. Isco and Bale should enjoy themselves against Valencia and Darmian. The pair have the speed and ability to drop in behind United's midfield to pick up the ball and cause havoc.
Mourinho said that Matic was "available, but not available like the others" at his press conference last night. He must be fit enough and given he played with Mourinho at Chelsea, knows what is required in his team.
Plenty to pick through there on both sides.
De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Darmian, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Lukaku.
Keylor, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Isco, Benzema, Bale.
Just in case there is any doubt, if this ends in a draw, it will go to extra-time and penalties after 90 minutes.
Far from Zizou to not keep Mourinho guessing: "We're going to play in several different ways, that's not going to change. We’re lucky to have a lot of important players who can play in various positions and tomorrow you’ll see how we’re going to play".
Back to where we left off last year! Real Madrid are looking to continue their goal scoring run in official games. They have scored in 65 and will be looking to do the same tonight.
Will Gareth Bale start tonight, or will Marco Asensio? Both, potentially, if Ronaldo is reserved but it's a debate that is likely to rumble on all season.
This will be the first competitive meeting between the sides since 2012-13 in the last 16 of the Champions League. Have yourself a wander down memory lane with this vide of the best bits from fixtures past.
