	Final thoughts: Precious little to celebrate in this one, though Martial’s work on the United goal will make his highlight reel, and 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 to 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 face Barcelona. Real Madrid will face the newly Danilo-d Manchester City 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.

	Final Score: Manchester United 1-1 Real Madrid (United win 2-1 on penalties)
	Well, that penalty shootout at least brought some comic relief to 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.
	Martial misses! Man Utd 0-0 Real Madrid
	Martial blasts his first kick high over the bar
	Kovacic misses! Man Utd 0-0 Real Madrid
	A weak kick straight at De Gea
	McTominay misses! Man Utd 0-0 Real Madrid
	A low penalty comfortably saved to the right.
	Oscar misses! Man Utd 0-0 Real Madrid
	High to De Gea’s left, but the United keeper parries clear.
	Mkhitariyan scores Man Utd 1-0 Real Madrid
	Finally, low to the keeper’s right to open the scoring.
	Quezada scores Man Utd 1-1 Real Madrid
	De Gea got a hand to it, but that’s Madrid on the board.
	Lindelof misses! Man Utd 1-1 Real Madrid
	Terrible penalty trundled up middle off keeper’s legs! This is ridiculous
	Hernandez misses! Man Utd 1-1 Real Madrid
	Well wide of the post. Some kind of metaphor is unfolding here.
	Blind scores! Man Utd 2-1 Real Madrid
	Firm penalty made to look world class by the dross that surrounded it
	Casemiro misses Man Utd 2-1 Real Madrid
	Fittingly, Casemiro crashes the final penalty of a comically awful shootout off the bar, and we can all go home.

	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 and 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.”
	If it was me, it would have been clammy.
	There. I think we handled that without it getting awkward.

Dangerous little move for Madrid there as Hakimi slides the ball across the six yard box looking for a touch from Gomez, but this time Lindelof does defensive things and gets his body in the way to stop the decisive tocuh from the Madrid man.

He can’t get a clean shot off though, and neither can Mkhitaryan when the ball eventually breaks to him.	80 mins: Fellaini breaks up play in midfield and United come forward.

Out of nowhere Madrid have a chance to get back in it, after Lindelof, who’s not had the best arrival in a United shirt, clears out Hernandez in the box. Kevin Stott points to the spot in somewhat restrained fashion for him — maybe because there wasn’t exactly much suspense about the clearest penalty you’ll ever see.

It’s a sad side effect of long exposure to the Guardian cultural milieu that I can’t tell if James is being sweetly enthusiastic or playing deadpan chess in 3D with me. Either way, I wouldn’t have necessarily said this game was “exciting”.

He didn’t, but United have a corner. It’s floated to the familiar target of Fellaini, but his header is over the bar.	62 mins: Half an hour more for this game to come to life. No sign of it as yet.

Lingard scored in this stadium two years ago, against Barcelona, and now he has another one against their great rivals. He didn’t have a lot to do to finish it, but then again, having players in position to finish was a basic trait Madrid didn’t demonstrate in the first half, so credit to him.
