18 years ago, Real Madrid won their eighth Spanish Super Cup

It has been 18 years since Real Madrid's eighth Spanish Super Cup. Our team lost the first leg against Valencia (3-2), but the two goals by Van Nistelrooy at Mestalla were key to the comeback at the Bernabéu.

In Madrid, the team started the match with a conceded goal in the 33rd minute. A penalty converted by Van Nistelrooy at the beginning of the second half spurred Madrid on. Sergio Ramos, De la Red, and Higuaín turned the tie around (4-2) to add the eighth Spanish Super Cup to the club's honors.
