Real Madrid have not gotten their season off to a good start. They draw against Valencia and then were beaten by Getafe in the league, results which sandwiched a 3-2 reverse in the first leg of the Super Cup against Barcelona. Yes, this is a glorified friendly. But with everything going against the defending La Liga champions at the moment -- except, perhaps, the arrival of Luka Modric from Tottenham Hotspur -- you'd have to imagine that Jose Mourinho and company will want to send out a statement here.
Angel di Maria's late goal (read: Victor Valdes' incredible mistake) will have given the hosts belief that they have some hope of coming back from their first-leg deficit. Can they? We'll find out shortly. Here's how to watch the game:
