The Spanish giants trail their Catalan rivals by a goal in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup but have past precedents reflecting towards a memorable victory in front of Madridista.
After a less than impressive start to the 2012/13 Spanish top flight season, Jose Mourinho and his men can atone for their mistakes with their first title of the season, in the form of Spanish Super Cup.
Real Madrid trail Barcelona with a goal after losing the first leg at the Camp Nou in a 3-2 result. However, Madridista can rest assure that whenever they have welcomed La Blaugrana to the Santiago Bernabeu with or without a goal disadvantage to worry about,
they have gone on to lift the honorary competition.
There are as many as two precedents in the favour of Los Blancos that predict a memorable victory for the Capital club.
In 1990 and 1997, Real Madrid welcomed Barcelona to their humble abodes for the return and final leg of the Spanish Super Cup, delivering emphatic blows to their perennial rivals in 4-1 thrashings.
It was current Sevilla manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453, who was the hero at the Camp Nou for Real Madrid in 1990. The midfielder scored the only goal of the match to give his boyhood club the impetus in the two legged affair.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Sanchez added the third goal. Spanish international, Aragon, completed
the rout with his shot in the 70th minute.
Seven years later, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Gonzalez who put Barcelona to the sword with his brilliant display in front of goal. The hard working striker got scored three goals in the competition, bagging one against his name at the Camp Nou while scoring a well timed
brace in front of the Santiago Bernabeu faithful.
Their second triumph also saw Mijatovic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Clarence-Seedorf-c9275 hit the back of the net, completing the great turnaround from a 2-1 defeat at the Camp Nou to a majestic 4-1 triumph at the Santiago Bernabeu.
