Hosts Atletico made the best possible start as Mario Mandzukic volleyed home the winner from Antoine Griezmann's pass after just 90 seconds. He lifted the cup with great joy.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti had named Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench due to the effects of a hamstring injury that had seen him withdrawn from the first leg. However, even the Portuguese couldn't break down Atletico's typically well-organised defence as they held on to end Real's hopes of claiming six trophies this season.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone was sent off midway through the first-half for protesting that right-back Juanfran hadn't been allowed back onto the field quickly enough after receiving treatment for a facial injury.

The victory was Atletico's first at home against Real in 15 years and continued Simeone's amazing run of success since taking charge of the club just under three years ago.

However, Simeone again downplayed expectations that Atletico can repeat their amazing La Liga title triumph of last season.

The last time Atletico won the Spanish Super Cup was 29 years ago. However, the players seemed more relieved than ecstatic.
