Good evening! Thank you very much for joining Sports Mole for tonight's European Super Cup clash between Real Madrid and Sevilla at the Lerkendal Stadion in Norway! The Spanish national team's dominance may have waned in recent years, but their club sides continue to rule the roost in Europe, and for the third year in a row this match will tonight be an all-Spanish affair. It is the European Cup champions Real Madrid against the Europa League winners Sevilla as the La Liga rivals do battle for the first silverware of the season. Let's start with a look at the teams...

REAL MADRID STARTING XI: Casilla; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kovacic; Isco, Asensio, Vazquez; Morata

REAL MADRID SUBS: Yanez, Nacho, Benzema, James, Modric, Danilo, Llorente

SEVILLA STARTING XI: Rico; Mariano, Pareja, Carrico, Kolo; Iborra, N'Zonzi; Vitolo, Franco Vazquez, Kiyotake; Vietto

What can we make of those two teams, then? Well, for starters there are a number of players who are conspicuous by their absence, particularly for Real Madrid. Record goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo is due to return to the club tomorrow following his involvement in Euro 2016, although whether he will be ready in time for the new league season remains to be seen after he picked up a knee injury in that game. Sevilla will certainly be glad by the absence of his name on the scoresheet, though, with Ronaldo having scored 22 goals in 15 games against Sevilla down the years - more than against any other club.

Ronaldo's compatriot Pepe is also still out having helped Portugal to the Euro 2016 title, while Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos, who reached the semi-final of the competition with Wales and Germany respectively, were not included in the squad having only recently returned to training. It is far from a full-strength Real Madrid side, then, and that starts right at the very back. Navas has been their number one keeper since his arrival, but he is currently sidelined with an Achilles problem so Casilla will play between the sticks tonight.

It is a more familiar-looking defence as Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Marcelo all start having each experienced disappointing summers. Carvajal and Ramos were part of the Spain squad that crashed out of Euro 2016 early, while Marcelo's Brazil fared even worse in the Copa America. Varane, meanwhile, missed out on Euro 2016 entirely due to injury, which would have been particularly gutting given that the competition took place on home soil. Even so, he is back for tonight's match and Zidane will be delighted to have him available for the new season.

In midfield, Casemiro and Kovacic will be the duo sitting a little further back, while Isco, Asensio and Vazquez should provide the support for the striker. That would certainly not be Madrid's midfield in a league match, with perhaps only Casemiro from that quintet making it into Zidane's full-strength XI. As mentioned, they are missing a few key players, but they do still have reinforcements on the bench in the form of Modric and James, the latter of whom has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer.

The biggest question surrounding Madrid's team selection this evening was who would play up front. Benzema, who like Varane missed out on Euro 2016 on home soil - albeit for very different reasons - has been struggling with a back problem in the build-up to this game, and as a result he has to make do with a place on the bench this evening. You'd expect to see the striker at some point, but it is the returning striker Alvaro Morata who has been given the nod from the start. Having cut his teeth with Juventus over the past couple of seasons, Madrid exercised their buy-back clause in his contract and, despite reports that they would sell him on for a great profit after that, he appears to be in Zidane's plans.

As for Sevilla, it has been a big summer of change at the club, so it is no real surprise that their side shows a few changes from the one that finished last season. Of the team that started the Europa League final against Liverpool, only Mariano, Carrico, N'Zonzi and Vitolo start tonight. It may take a lot of time for the team to gel after such a substantial change of personnel, and they are being given a baptism of fire doing so against Real Madrid.

Three of their new signings get the nod from the start this evening, including Franco Vazquez and Kiyotake. This will be both players' competitive debuts for the club, so they will be desperate to make a good impression and prove that they can fill some of the big shoes that have been left during the summer overhaul. Indeed, all of the players - even the likes of Iborra and Vitolo - will need to prove that they can cope with those changes to the new manager.

Perhaps the most notable inclusion for Sevilla tonight is that of Vietto up front. The striker joined from Atletico Madrid as part of the deal to take Gameiro in the opposite direction, and that leaves him with a lot of goals to make up for. Gameiro was a brilliant player for Sevilla and, although Vietto is only at the club for one season, he may need to have a good campaign to appease the fans who were sad to see their star striker leave. They do also have Wissam Ben Yedder on the bench today, with the former Toulouse striker also looking to make his debut.

The 2016-17 campaign will be a big one for Real Madrid, who have fallen short of their usual high standards recently. They haven't won the league title in a while and, although those disappointments have been lessened by their success on the European stage, it is not easy for them to play second fiddle to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in their own country. This will be Zinedine Zidane's first full season in charge and, if last term is anything to go by, hopes should be high at the club.

The standout success of Zidane's tenure was, of course, the Champions League triumph as they beat city rivals Atletico in the final for the second time in as many years. It was their 11th triumph on the competition, moving further ahead of the rest as the kings of Europe, although this time they needed penalties. Carrasco cancelled out Sergio Ramos's opener in normal time and, unlike in 2014, there were no further goals in extra time. To a shootout it went, then, and who else but Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to score the winning spot kick.

Almost as impressive as that, though, was how Zidane hauled Madrid back into the title race when they looked dead and buried. A less-than-spectacular start under Rafael Benitez left them playing catch-up to Barcelona from an early stage of the campaign, and with a few months remaining it looked a certainty that Luis Enrique's side would cruise to the title. However, helped by an unexpected and scarcely believable slump from Barca, Madrid took it to the very last day of the season before eventually missing out by just one point.

Since then, things have been eerily quiet at the Bernabeu. We usually expect Real Madrid to make the biggest noises in the transfer market, but they have been overshadowed by others - particularly those from the Premier League - this summer. Morata is the only new arrival at the club, and while they were linked with a world-record bid for Pogba at one point, they quickly fell out of that race and the Frenchman has now joined Manchester United. It is a very low-profile window by Madrid standards, which either means that Zidane is happy with his squad or that they are lining up a busy end.

Real have even been quiet in terms of outgoings. Jese recently left the club to join PSG, but once again it is that solitary high-profile departure. The next most newsworthy exits from Madrid have been Arbeloa leaving on a free and Cheryshev and Medran going, none of whom were in the first-team plans of Zidane anyway. It has been said that standing still is the same as moving backwards in the transfer window, and it remains to be seen whether Madrid will regret not being a bit more active, especially when it comes to signing players.

In terms of on-the-pitch matters this summer, Madrid have had a decent enough pre-season regime. They were beaten by PSG, now managed by former Sevilla boss Unai Emery, in their first International Champions Cup outing, but have since bounced back with consecutive wins. Chelsea were the first to be beaten before Bayern Munich were also sent packing in New Jersey, with Danilo scoring the only goal of the game to condemn former Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to his first defeat as Bayern manager.

This will be Real Madrid's fifth appearance in the Super Cup, a tally only Barcelona and AC Milan can better, and from the previous four they have a 50% success rate. They were beaten in their first two appearances in this game, at the hands of Chelsea in 1998 and Galatasaray in 2000, before winning in 2002 and 2014, the latter of which came against Sevilla. Should they win again tonight then it would be the first time in Super Cup history that the European Cup champions have lifted the trophy four times in a row.

Sevilla are the team out to stop them doing that, and their phenomenal record in the Europa League means that they are every bit as experienced as Real Madrid when it comes to the Super Cup. They are also making their fifth appearance in the fixture, and a record third in a row, although their past results have not been quite as good. They beat Barcelona 3-0 in 2006, but were then beaten by AC Milan a year later and Real Madrid and Barcelona in the past two years.

That match against Barcelona last season was a particularly memorable one, with the Catalan giants eventually winning 5-4 on aggregate in a thrilling encounter. Lionel Messi scored two stunning free kicks in the opening 15 minutes to cancel out Banega's third-minute opener, and by 10 minutes after half time Barca looked to have things wrapped up at 4-1. However, Sevilla scored three times in the final 33 minutes to force extra time, only for Pedro to win it for Barca in the 115th minute. If we get half as good a game tonight then we are in for a treat.

It is Sevilla's magnificent record in the Europa League that is responsible for their repeated appearances in this competition, with the Spanish outfit having win Europe's second-tier tournament an unprecedented three years in a row. Last season saw them come up against Liverpool in the final in Basel, and at half time they looked to be in trouble. Only a Daniel Sturridge goal separated the two sides, but Sevilla had looked second best for the most part. However, they equalised seconds after the restart through Gameiro before a brace from Coke handed them a 3-1 win.

The man who steered them to all of those Europa League success is no longer at the helm, though. Unai Emery left to join Paris Saint-Germain following that victory over Liverpool, with Jorge Sampaoli tasked with filling his substantial shoes. It almost looked for a moment as though it would be a short-lived appointment when Argentina reportedly came knocking, but Sampaoli committed himself to Sevilla and will now be tasked with continuing their good form in Europe and improving things domestically.

Sampaoli memorably steered Chile to Copa America glory on home soil in 2015, but he may have a tough time of things improving Sevilla in La Liga after a disappointing campaign last time around. Sevilla finished seventh in the league, a full eight points of the final Europa League qualifying spot, so without their victory in Basel they wouldn't be in Europa at all this year. As it is, they find themselves in the Champions League, and the next big step for them will be emulating even a slither of their Europa League success on the biggest stage.

It has been such a big summer of change that that will be difficult to accomplish straight away, though. Four of the players who started the Europa League final have since left the club, including the two goalscorers, while in all Sampaoli has allowed nine faces to depart. He has also brought nine new players in, including Vietto and Ben Yedder, but it will be a big ask for them to gel straight away.

Sevilla have a 100% record in pre-season so far, winning all six of their outings including three games on a tour of Germany. They are tonight looking to avoid equalling Barcelona's unwanted record of four Super Cup defeats, while after this they take on Luis Enrique's side in their two-legged Spanish Super Cup. Two pieces of silverware are therefore up for grabs before they finally get their league campaign underway at home to Espanyol.

PREDICTION: Right, we're 10 minutes away from kickoff in Trondheim, which means that it is time for a prediction! This is quite a tough one to call with so many players out and neither side quite at peak match fitness. However, Real Madrid undoubtedly possess the greater quality in their squad - even without Ronaldo, Bale et al - so I am going to back Los Blancos to come away with a 3-1 win.

These two shared one win apiece in La Liga last season, with Sevilla coming out on top in their first meeting back in November. Immobile, Banega and Llorente were all on the scoresheet in a 3-2 victory, but Madrid exacted revenge in March with a 4-0 drubbing that saw Benzema, Ronaldo, Bale and Jese all find the back of the net. That wasn't quite as bad as the 8-0 defeat Sevilla suffered to Madrid in a previous European clash way back in 1957-58, when Di Stefano scored four times in the quarter-final of the European Cup. That scoreline remains a record for that stage of the competition.

Madrid have faced Spanish sides 19 times in Europe before, and their record is pretty good in that time. They have won 10, drawn five and lost four of those 19 games, including particularly notable victories over Valencia (2000) and Atletico Madrid (2014 and 2016) in Champions League finals. They also beat Sevilla in this fixture two years ago, with Ronaldo scoring all the goals in a 2-0 win in Cardiff.

Sevilla, by contrast, have won just seven of their 18 European meetings with fellow Spanish sides, losing eight and drawing the remaining three. That does include a penalty shootout victory over Espanyol in the 2007 UEFA Cup final, and that 2006 Super Cup win over Barcelona, but they have also been beaten by Spanish sides in this fixture in the last two years. Indeed, this is the fourth time that the Super Cup has been an all-Spanish affair, and Sevilla have been involved on each occasion.

Right, we're just about ready to go at the Lerkendal Stadion now! The pre-match niceties are out of the way and we could be just 90 minutes away from one of these clubs picking up the first European trophy of the season!

KICKOFF: Here we go then! Real Madrid get us underway in Norway for this all-Spanish European Super Cup!

Madrid have enjoyed the majority of possession in these opening exchanges, and now have a free kick in a good crossing position...

Isco swings it into the middle and Ramos goes down in the mix of it all, but any claims for a penalty are muted and the ball goes all the way through.

Another half-claim for a Madrid penalty as the ball is brilliantly dinked over the defence by Kovacic for Isco coming inside. The Spaniard gets on the end of it too, but is then just levered off the ball.

CHANCE! The first sight of goal falls to Madrid as Ramos climbs highest at the back post to reach a corner from Asensio. He nods it back down into a good position, but Mariano is there to lift it over his own crossbar.

SAVE! More good football from Madrid as Morata and Kovacic combine to find Asensio, who lines up a shot from just outside the area. It is a decent enough hit too, but Rico gets down to make the save and crucially hangs on to the ball too.

Real Madrid have been on top in the opening exchanges of this match. They may still be a couple of weeks away from the start of their domestic season, but they are looking really sharp here and are playing some nice football.

Sevilla are having to spend a lot of their time chasing the ball right now, but they would have been expecting that. Sevilla have at least pushed Madrid's territory back a little, with Zidane's side seeing less of the ball in good positions now.

Not much to report in the last few minutes. Sevilla are settling into the game a little more right now, but Madrid are still seeing more of the ball.

Almost a chance for Madrid as Asensio gets down the left flank, picking the ball up and racing down the line. He tries to slip a low pass in to Vazquez, but it takes a deflection on the way through which diverts it just out of the midfielder's reach.

Almost a chance at the other end now as Mariano swings a bouncing ball into the box, but it is a difficult one for Vietto to deal with and his attempted touch sees the good position go begging.

Phwooaaarrrr! What a way to announce yourself on the scene! Marco Asensio marks his Real Madrid debut with an absolute peach of a strike to break the deadlock. He has enjoyed a good start to the game, and he picks the ball up around 30 yards from goal before pinging a dipping effort right into the top corner. He couldn't have placed it any better, and the keeper had no chance whatsoever. Remember the name!

Asensio has enjoyed a really good pre-season for Real Madrid, and he looks like a very good player from this opening 25 minutes or so here too. He could be knocking on the door for a regular place in the first team if he keeps this up!

Real Madrid win another free kick in a decent crossing position, but this time Isco lifts it too far past the far post and it goes straight out for a goal kick.

CHANCE! Sevilla have their first chance of the match as Franco Vazquez gets to the byline down the left flank before picking out Mariano at the back post. The full-back is unmarked and watches the ball all the way onto his foot, only to then slice his volley horribly off target.

Asensio again gets forward down the left flank and cuts another good low ball into the box that causes a bit of confusion inside the Sevilla defence. They keep their composure, though, before eventually clearing the danger.

SAVE! Casilla has his first save of the evening, and it is a smart one from the keeper too. Carrico wins the ball well around 35 yards from goal and drives forward before firing a low, swerving effort towards goal. The ball bounces right in front of Casilla to make it even more difficult, but he pushes it away well.

Here is that stunning strike from Marco Asensio in all its glory. A goal worthy of winning any game, but will it be enough tonight?

The weather in Norway is not what these Spanish players will be used to. The rain is falling steadily and heavily, which is bound to make things more difficult for the two keepers. Could it have an impact?

Morata almost gets in behind the Sevilla defence, but they get the offside trap right and the flag prevents the striker from having a one on one with the keeper.

The former world's most expensive player Gareth Bale knows a thing or two about wonder goals, and he approves of that strike from Asensio...

YELLOW CARD! The first card of the match is shown to Vitolo, although I'm not entirely sure what for.

Sevilla are level with just five minutes to go until half time! It is another debutant who is on the scoresheet, with Vazquez opening his account following his summer move from Palermo. The ball from the right initially found Vitolo on the edge of the box, and he flicked it past the defender with the intention of getting on the end of it himself. However, Vazquez takes over a steers a well-controlled volley right into the bottom corner.

CHANCE! Chance for Madrid to restore their lead straight away as Lucas Vazquez gets down the right channel to the byline before cutting a cross back into the middle. Isco manages to get his head to it well, but his effort is straight at the keeper.

There will be a minimum of one minute added time at the end of this first half.

The first half comes to an end in Norway, then, and we're all square at the break after an entertaining first half. Sevilla actually dominated the possession in the opening 45 minutes, with the official statistics crediting them with 64%. Jorge Sampaoli's men haven't been as dominant as that might suggest, but they will feel worthy of being level at the interval.

It is two debutants who have made the difference so far, and the opening goal of the contest was a particularly memorable one. Marco Asensio picked the ball up around 30 yards from goal and immediately turned his way into a shooting position. He then let fly and picked out the top corner perfectly, leaving Sergio Rico helpless with a stunning strike.

The equaliser came with a little less than five minutes remaining of the first half, and it was Franco Vazquez who got it for Sevilla. Vitolo had initially got on the end of a cross from the right before flicking the ball past the defender. Vazquez took over from there, steering a well-controlled volley into the bottom corner.

It was Madrid who started the match on top, with two decent sights of goal in the opening 10 minutes. The first saw Ramos win a header at the back post and nod it down into a dangerous area before it was cleared over the crossbar, while shortly afterwards Asensio fired in a low strike that Sergio Rico did well to hold on to. There was one last chance right at the end of the half too, with Isco flicking a header straight at the keeper following a cross from Lucas Vazquez.

Sevilla, meanwhile, had to wait until just before the half-hour mark before they had their first real chance when Franco Vazquez picked out Mariano at the back post, only for the full-back to slice his volley well off target. Casilla also had a save to make shortly afterwards when Daniel Carrico let fly from range, with the Madrid keeper smartly getting down to push it away.

KICKOFF: Sevilla get us back underway in Norway for the second half of this European Super Cup.

Low-key start to the second half for both sides, although it is Sevilla who have had the better territory since the interval.

Lucas Vazquez attempts to emulate Asensio as he cuts inside and tries to pick out the top corner from outside the area, but he gets it all wrong and the ball flies a long way high and wide.

SEVILLA SUB: The first change of this match comes early in the second half as Carrico departs to be replaced by Adil Rami.

It was a surprise to see the possession statistics so heavily in Sevilla's favour at half time, but they have once again enjoyed the majority of the ball in this second half. You don't see that too often against Madrid!

Important defending from Pareja as he back-heels the ball away from danger when facing his own goal. It was a slick move from Madrid and Pareja needed to make the interception, and he dealt with the danger in style.

CLOSE! Almost a second for Real Madrid as Asensio is released down the left wing before pulling the ball back for Isco. He fakes one shot to elude his marker before eventually getting a shot away, but it deflects narrowly wide.

Asensio almost breaks forward again here, latching on to a loose ball before anyone else can react. He is eventually stopped in his tracks, but the youngster is looking really bright tonight.

N'Zonzi almost breaks into the box with a powerful driving run forward, but a mix-up with a teammate forces him out wide and he then plays the ball back and away from danger. Sevilla looking dangerous, though.

Madrid have 10 players behind the ball at the moment, which is not something you say about them very often. Sevilla are enjoying a lot of possession, and if that is a sign of things to come then the fans may grow to like Sampaoli's tenure.

Sevilla's latest spell of possession ends with the ball reaching Mariano, but once again his ambitious effort is well off target.

REAL MADRID SUB: Zidane makes his first change of the evening, and it is Karim Benzema who comes on in place of Morata. Some valuable minutes for the French striker here.

CHANCES! Almost a chance immediately for Benzema as he latches on to a cross into the box, but the defender just does enough to force the ball behind for a corner. Ramos meets the resulting delivery well, but Rico is down to make the save.

REAL MADRID SUB: Another change for the European champions as Luka Modric replaces Isco.

SEVILLA SUB: Sevilla respond with a change of their own as Yevhen Konoplyanka replaces Vietto.

Just over 20 minutes remaining in this one now, and as things stand we will go further than the 90 minutes for the second season in a row!

Sevilla take the lead with less than 20 minutes remaining! It is Ramos who gives the penalty away, with his trailing leg connecting with Vitolo as he cut inside from the right flank. There isn't a great deal in it, and in truth it doesn't look like Ramos actually made a movement towards the forward, but the referee points to the spot nonetheless. Up steps Konoplyanka just a few minutes after coming on as a sub, and he coolly rolls it into the bottom corner. There was no power on the penalty at all, but he sent the keeper the wrong way.

REAL MADRID SUB: Madrid make a change in the immediate aftermath of that goal as James Rodriguez replaces Kovacic.

SEVILLA SUB: Sevilla respond with their third change of the night too as Iborra departs to be replaced by summer signing Matias Kranevitter.

This will be a major scalp for Sampaoli so early in his reign as Sevilla boss - not only to beat Real Madrid but also to claim silverware. They have looked impressive today despite such a summer of upheaval.

Time is running out for Real Madrid here. They haven't had as many pre-season games as Sevilla so may be a bit off their pace at this stage of pre-season, but this is still a bit of an upset.

This is a Real Madrid side without Ronaldo, Bale, Kroos and Pepe - four of their best players - but Sevilla will be pretty happy with their performance. They always seem to get the job done in Europe - at least away from the Champions League - and they look like doing so again tonight.

Madrid are starting to play with a bit more urgency now, with Carvajal bombing down the right here. He cross it into the middle from the byline, but Mariano is there to knock it behind for a corner.

YELLOW CARD! Sevilla look to counter from that corner, but that attack is stopped in its tracks by Carvajal, who goes into the book for the foul.

YELLOW CARD! Madrid are getting increasingly frustrated here and are giving away cheap free kicks that simply allow Sevilla to waste more time. Asensio is the latest to go into the book for one such foul.

It is 'Ole!' football for Sevilla now. They are enjoying themselves, and rightly so. They have been very good in possession tonight and the signs are certainly looking good for next season. Unai who?

There will be four minutes of stoppage time at the end of this match as Madrid win a corner...

Sevilla can't get the ball completely clear from the initial corner and it eventually falls to Benzema, who shows good feet to create space for a shot, only to see that effort blocked and loop towards Ramos in an offside position.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Sergio Ramos, who has scored in two Champions League finals, adds the Super Cup final to his list to force extra time here! Madrid's late pressure finally tells as Lucas Vazquez lifts a cross into the box from the right, and Ramos is there unmarked in the middle to nod it in for the simplest of finishes against his former club.

Extra time it is, then! Real Madrid looked destined for defeat in the Super Cup, but you can never count them out and Ramos's goal in the last minute of stoppage time means that we are in for another 30 minutes here! Yevhen Konoplyanka had given Sevilla the lead from the penalty spot after Ramos had brought down Vitolo, but the Madrid skipper atoned for that error by equalising late on by nodding in from close range.

KICKOFF: Real Madrid get us back underway for the first half of extra time in Norway.

SAVE! The European champions are on the front foot straight away and immediately create a chance in the first minute of extra time. It is Benzema who has the shot, cutting inside but then slipping when going for goal. It is still a decent enough effort, but the keeper holds on to it well.

YELLOW CARD! James Rodriguez is the latest player in the book for a frustrated foul.

CHANCE! Brilliant defending from Parejo here as he launches himself in front of Benzema after the striker had found himself unmarked in a good position. Sevilla tried to play out but were caught in possession and almost paid the price.

Sevilla really have a mountain to climb now! They go down to 10 as Kolodziejczak picks up a second yellow card for a mistimed challenge on Lucas Vazquez. Bad news for Jorge Sampaoli, but at least I won't have to spell that name again.

SAVE! James looks to curl the resulting free kick in from a very tight angle, but Rico is alert to the threat and beats the ball away.

SHOT! Another chance for Madrid, who are starting to pile the pressure on now. This time Rico is at fault, coming out for a cross up only palming it as far as Modric, who comes onto the ball but then lashes it over the top.

Sevilla are just being penned back into their own half at the moment. They can't get out!

DISALLOWED GOAL! Madrid think they have a third, and Ramos a second, but after a while of celebrating the goal is ruled out! It is a well-worked corner routine from the European champions as the ball is played back to Marcelo, who then swings it into the middle from a better angle. Ramos is there to finish with a diving header into the bottom corner, but this time it will not count. It definitely wasn't offside, so it must have been given for a shirt tug in the area.

Ramos still looks a little bemused as to why that goal was chalked off and, even having seen a replay, I wouldn't be able to say for certain. There was a small tug on the defender, but nothing more than what usually goes on inside the area.

I'm sure neither one of these managers would have wanted this game to go all the way to extra time. The added minutes will improve fitness, but the chance of injuries is also greatly increased in extra time, particularly when they are not at full match fitness.

Well, as first halves in extra time go, that was quite an eventful one. Sevilla were reduced to 10 men just four minutes after the restart, which will only make it tougher on the 10 players still on the field, while Ramos had what seemed to be a good goal chalked off shortly afterwards. It remains 2-2, though, and if that doesn't change in the next 15 minutes then we will have penalties!

KICKOFF: Sevilla get us back underway for the second half of extra time. Can anyone make themselves a hero before a shootout?

CHANCE! Big chance for Madrid to get what could have been the winner! Benzema clips a lovely little pass into the middle and James is quickly on the end of it. He tries to steer a first-time half-volley past the keeper, but Rico is out to meet him and makes himself big to make a very good save.

Madrid have had all of the chances in extra time so far, but Sevilla are enjoying a good spell of possession right now, and it is exactly what they need. They are a man down and are just knocking the ball about between themselves, looking to wind the clock down.

CHANCE! Madrid do eventually win the ball back and burst immediately into life. The ball is clipped over the top for Lucas Vazquez, who finds himself with only the keeper to beat, but once again Rico is equal to it.

Almost a chance for Benzema with just seven minutes remaining here, but he flicks his effort a couple of yards past the post.

SAVE! Sergio Rico is keeping his side in this one! Carvajal finds space on the right and picks out James on the edge of the box with a pinpoint cross. The Colombian's first time volley is sweetly struck, but Rico gets down well to make another good save.

Madrid want a penalty as Kiyotake swings a wild leg trying to clear the ball, which Modric just nicks away from him. It is a complete air shot, with no connection with player or ball, but Modric's evasive action sent him to ground. Nothing doing from the ref.

SAVE! Another shot, another Rico save. This time it is Casemiro with a low drive from range, but once again the keeper is down well and holds on.

Ohhhh what a way to win it! Carvajal has surely handed his side the trophy with a magnificent solo goal in the last minute of extra time! The right-back drives forward into the box and beats a number of statuesque Sevilla defenders on the way. He still has to finish it, and he does so with aplomb, picking out the corner with the outside of his boot. Brilliant goal.

There will be one minute of added time at the end of this match.

Well, this fixture certainly does know how to throw up drama! A year after Sevilla fell to a 115th-minute 5-4 defeat to Barcelona, it is heartbreak again as Real Madrid secure a 3-2 triumph in the 119th minute. Marco Asensio opened the scoring what seems like an age ago with a stunning strike on his debut, but Sevilla came from behind through goals from Franco Vazquez and Yevhen Konoplyanka. They were just a minute away from the trophy until Sergio Ramos rescued extra time with a 93rd-minute equaliser, before Dani Carvajal's solo effort clinched the win for Zidane's side.

Phew! That is all we have time for this evening! Thank you very much for joining Sports Mole for tonight's match as Real Madrid win the European Cup in dramatic style, beating Sevilla 3-2 after extra time in Norway. I will leave you with our match report, which is really worth a read after such an action-packed game! From me, though, it is goodbye for now!
