Real Madrid take on Valencia in the first semi-final in the Spanish Super Cup 2023. Kick-off in Saudi Arabia at 2pm ET.

Thanks for joining me (Roddy) as the Spanish Super Cup 2023 gets underway in…Saudi Arabia. The former Liverpool boss also won a UEFA Cup in 2004, which went some way to making up for defeats in Champions League finals in 2000 (under Héctor Cúper) and 2002. Valencia work it well from left to right and Lato is the spare man at the far post. After a fairly even start, Real Madrid were first to crank up the pressure, with Rodrygo, Benzema and Valverde all shooting just wide in quick succession. The referee gives a free-kick (not sure it was) and Cavani is booked for protesting. What a start to the second half! He spots Kluivert on the edge of the box and the Dutchman's strike is goalbound until the defender gets his big head in the way. But it's long after the referee has blown for a free-kick to Valencia for a handball by Vinícius. But we're happy, we're in the final, where we want to be." Gayá missed a penalty on the left and the other day he scored in the middle, so I knew he would go to the middle or to the right and I went half-and-half. There was to be no further scoring and it was Real Madrid who held their nerve in the shootout, as if there was any doubt. Last week they toiled badly to a narrow victory in the Copa del Rey against fourth-tier Cacereño (remember them?).

and Rodrygo in attack. They have a tall order to get the better of Los Blancos as they have been pretty inconsistent with their form and currently sit in 11th in the Liga table.

En Valencia, el frente de ataque lo ocuparán Kluivert, Cavani y Lino. Aprieta el equipo de Ancelotti, cerca del 1-0. Estamos viendo un gran partido y ahora el que estuvo cerca fue el equipo de Gattuso. Minuto 37: ¡Penalti para el Madrid! El Valencia encuentra espacios cada vez que ataca y ahora estuvo cerca Kluivert, con un remate desde la puerta del área que iba bien ubicado, pero terminó rebotando en el rostro de Militao. Buena combinación entre Benzema y Rodrygo para que el francés vuelva a exigir a Mamardashvili, quien envió el balón al tiro de esquina. Minuto 50: Va por el segundo gol el Madrid. Enorme parada del portero belga, evitando lo que era el 2-1 del Valencia en los pies de un cara a cara muy cercano a la portería con Fran Pérez. Gran contra del Madrid, que terminó con el brasileño cara a cara con Mamardashvili. A partir de allí el partido cayó en un pozo y aunque ambos tuvieron situaciones para marcar, los porteros aparecieron de manera oportuna para mantener el empate e ir a la definición por penaltis. Sin embargo, el joven del Valencia se demoró demasiado y el peligro se diluyó, con un buen cierre entre Rüdiger y el propio Valverde. Karim Benzema puso el 1-0 para los de Ancelotti en la primera parte, convirtiendo un penalti que le realizó Eray Cömert al propio atacante francés.

Here, [Toni Kroos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/103173/Toni-Kroos) did his best as a holding midfielder, but it's never been his preferred position. Those second-half injuries saw Vazquez and Militao replaced by Carvajal and [Ferland Mendy](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/217475/Ferland-Mendy), another player who has been badly out of form. This year, despite the addition of a world-class defender in [Antonio Rudiger](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/169438/Antonio-Rüdiger), they seem to have lost some of that consistency and -- more worryingly -- hunger at the back.

Maybe we have to score more goals, and not concede like we did the other day at Villarreal or today at the start of the second half, we have to start better. He should have done better with a first-half header that was well saved by [Thibaut Courtois](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/134283/Thibaut-Courtois). One piece of skill in particular stood out: a first-half stepover and nutmeg combo that allowed Benzema to ghost past Comert inside the box without breaking his stride. The trip to [Saudi Arabia](/soccer/team?id=655) -- starting with this semifinal -- was an opportunity to get their season back on track, against a talented but limited underdog Valencia side. It all added up to an awkward game, decided in the end by a penalty shootout, where Madrid's experience in this kind of high-pressure game gave them the edge.

Thibaut Courtois was in inspired form for Real Madrid against Valencia in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final - as he has been all season.
