Madrid narrowly edged out Barcelona 17-15 in the first quarter, but a more aggressive and clinical Barcelona outscored their rivals 22-12 in the second quarter.

Real would claw back in the third quarter with a resounding 26-12 to take a marginal lead in the game. However, the never-say-die attitude of Barca sent the game to overtime as the scores were even after the fourth quarter.

The Baloncesto would then prove why they are the most successful basketball club in Spain and Europe, with a commanding performance to see off Barcelona 18-12 to clinch the Super Cup.

After the victory, club president, Florentino Perez joined the lads to celebrate the mammoth feat.

Barcelona's impressive showing in the transfer market means that the Blaugrana pose a real threat to Los Blancos this season.

Real also know that the only thing more threatening than the current Barcelona side is a Barcelona side with Lionel Messi.
