It had to be him, Sergio Ramos, was again decisive in a final. When everything looked lost, he made the most of a cross from Lucas Vázquez to score with his head in the 93rd minute, taking the game in to extra-time. The madridista captain, just like in the Undécima, was chosen as the best player in the European Super Cup. The man of the finals appeared again as he helped win the first trophy of the season.
Oslo : Dani Carvajal’s extra-time goal gifted Real Madrid a 3-2 win over Sevilla in the European Supercup final in Trondheim, Norway.
Sevilla had been on the verge of victory
leading 2-1 deep into added time before Sergio Ramos equalised for Real Madrid in the 93rd minute
with the last kick of normal time during the match on Tuesday, reports Xinhua.
Spanish Carvajal, 24, went on a run from the halfway line to score in the 119th minute to win the game for Real Madrid.
“The essence of Real Madrid is that we never give up. A goal after the 90th minute and another one at the end of the added period made us champions,” Carvajal said.
“It’s incredible. Until the game is over you have to keep fighting, because fighting until the end brings the rewards and the cross from Lucas made it a pleasure to put away. Above all, we must highlight the collective effort and fight. The team, despite the absences, turned up today and to start the season winning a trophy is always incredible.”
