Despite being sent off for a professional foul to prevent Morata scoring, the Real Madrid man was chosen by Spain coach Luis Enrique and his staff as the man of the match.
Real Madrid's Federico Valverde was recognised as the the Spanish Super Cup final's MVP, with Zidane's side winning the trophy 4-1 on penalties after the match ended 0-0 after extra-time.
Valverde, who shone throughout the match, was sent off after 115 minutes of the match, when he brought down Morata from behind, with the Atlético Madrid man in a clear goal scoring position, running through alone on goal with just Courtois to beat.
Valverde made absolutely sure he brought the Atleti forward down, and received his marching orders, but was still recognised as the match's MVP. Valverde's decision of course likely ensured that Real Madrid made it into the penalty shoot-out, where they triumphed.

MESSI have spoken up about the confrontations that happened between him And Jaox Felix on Thursday night. MESSI: "the little boy told me that Ronaldo is better than Me,....I ignored him, he said I don't have international trophy, I smiled and ignored him, He called me local Champion, .....I still ignored him. Then I lost my temper when he told me to go and join Arsenal, I couldn't bear the insult anymore".😂😂😂😂😂.
