Cristiano Ronaldo scored and get sent off for two yellow cards in a substitute appearance as Real Madrid won 3–1 over Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa first leg on Sunday.
Lionel Messi scored the lone goal for Barcelona, which created plenty of scoring chances but struggled to apply a finishing touch to them in front of their home fans at the Nou Camp.
Both teams went scoreless after the first half. Real Madrid came close to drawing first blood with a shot by Gareth Bale that just went over the bar after a tip by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
That all changed when Gerard Pique put the ball into his own net in the 50th minute to give Real Madrid a 1–0 lead.
