Final thoughts: Precious little to celebrate in this one, though Martial’s work on the United goal will make his highlight reel, và Lindelof’s “work” on Real Madrid’s equalizer will make his blooper reel (as will his own penalty attempt).

The politest thing you could say about both teams was that they were keeping their powder dry for the SuperCup. Certainly we saw two halves in which the respective first XI’s were up against the fringe players from their rivals, so it was hard lớn discern just where the teams are at this stage of their pre-seasons. By the same token there was no marked distinction in how the two teams performed when their stars were on the field versus when they weren’t.

It was, as both manager’s hoped for — if not the paying fans — a glorified training session, though Mourinho will hope Herrera’s precautionary withdrawal hasn’t done any lingering damage. United move on to lớn face Barcelona. Real Madrid will face the newly Danilo-d Manchester thành phố in midweek.

I’m off to join James Maslen in a medley of Spurs songs in the Guardian complaints office. Thanks for your tweets and emails. Sorry I couldn’t use them all. Good night.

Well, that penalty shootout at least brought some comic relief khổng lồ proceedings. Seven misses from ten taken just about sums up a damp squib of a match. Final thoughts in a minute.

Penalties:

In the latest episode of Peak Mourinho, Jose has decided he’s seen enough. Before the penalties can even start, the United manager has stalked off from the dugout.

Our Spurs fan is back:

Before we get going with penalties, James Maslen writes again, as we continue the talking cure for his sadness at the Guardian’s apparent ignorance of the existence of Tottenham:

“Thank you for your kind words & understanding. For a July evening in Central Florida it was surprisingly mild last night. After bucketing rain most of the day it was in the 70’s F with an occasional delightful breeze. Wouldn’t have been too clammy.”
