Atletico
Madrid started the new season as they finished the last, eclipsing
their illustrious neighbours to pick up a trophy after Mario Mandzukic
sealed a 2-1 win in the Spanish Super Cup.
After
Tuesday's 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu, Mario Mandzukic took just 90
seconds to put the La Liga champions ahead in the tie when he latched
onto a knock down from Raul Garcia and slotted the ball past Iker
Casillas.
Gareth
Bale and James Rodriguez both went close to grabbing an equaliser and
Real sent on Cristiano Ronaldo as a second-half substitute but Atletico
held on despite coach Diego Simeone being sent to the stands for patting
the head of the assistant referee.
Luka Modric also saw red late on for two bookings.
