The defense has always been an issue for Real Madrid as they're a team that prefers to outscore the opposition and let Thibaut Courtois go to work in net, but when the team is receiving red cards and conceding penalties left and right, it's hard to walk a tightrope. As La Liga winners, Real Madrid will face the Copa Del Rey runners up Valencia while La Liga runners up Barcelona will face the Copa Del Rey winners Real Betis.

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?).

El modelo ‘final four’ de la Supercopa de España es atractivo. Kroos is the deep-lying mid with Valverde to his right and Camavinga to his left. — 15-Valverde, 8-Kroos, 12-Camavinga — 21-Rodrygo, 9-Benzema, 20-Vinicius Jr. 10th min.: It's been a subdued start to this one that comes to life when Rodrygo or Vinicius get on the ball. He danced around the Valencia defenders in the box and just missed the left post. 20th min.: Valencia want a penalty. They've suffered from some inconsistency as one of the youngest teams in Spain, coming off two straight league losses and sitting in 11th place in the table. Real Madrid, who qualify for the competition as 2022 La Liga winners, will be eager to take a step towards another piece of silverware by reaching Sunday's final.

"We came to the second half with a plan but they equalised soon after the break and that changed our approach. "It was a difficult game, with not much pace by both teams so we struggle a bit, but reached the final and we came to win the title. Real kept dominating and defender Eder Militao found Benzema in space with a long pass and was only stopped when Comert fouled him inside the area.
