Real Madrid beat Atletico in eight-goal Super Cup thriller

Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in extra time in a Spanish Super Cup semi-final thriller in Saudi Arabia, report agencies.

Griezmann scored a club record-breaking 174th goal for Atletico and Rudiger netted an own goal before Carvajal forced extra time.

A late Stefan Savic own goal and Brahim Diaz strike won the game for Real.

Atletico keeper Jan Oblak had gone forward in injury time with Diaz beating him in a race starting in his own half before slotting into an empty net from 40 yards.

Real Madrid play either Barcelona or Osasuna - who meet in the other semi-final on Thursday - in Sunday's final.

If Barca win their semi it would mean a second El Clasico final in a row, with Barcelona winning 3-1 last year.

Griezmann made history with his excellent strike from the edge of the area after beating two defenders, overtaking legendary Luis Aragones as Atletico's all-time leading scorer.

But it was not enough for Diego Simeone's side, who were five minutes from the final before Carvajal's strike and four minutes from a shootout before Savic deflected the ball into his own net.
