( CNN ) -- Goals from Gonzalo Higuain and , who else , Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid claim their first trophy of the season on Wednesday night against arch rivals Barcelona , who had to play for more than an hour with ten men after Adriano was shown a straight red card in the 27th minute . Barcelona had won the first leg 3-2 , but Madrid 's pair of away goals proved vital as their 2-1 win at the Bernabeau handed them the title on away goals . The Catalan side have won the last three Supercups . Madrid showed they had recovered from their poor start to the league season with an incredible opening spell that overwhelmed their opponents . Gonzalo Higuain got the stadium rocking with a goal in the 11th minute , as he latched on to a hopeful long ball that Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano completely misjudged , and fired past a helpless Victor Valdes . Barely seven minutes later Madrid doubled their lead . Another long ball caused panic among the Barcelona defence - this time the normally impeccable Gerard Pique was at fault -- and Ronaldo was perfectly placed to make the most of the chaos . The Portuguese striker flicked a delightful ball over Pique before dispatching the ball into Valdes ' bottom corner to leave the Barcelona defense in shell shock . Ten minutes later , Barcelona 's capitulation was complete as Adriano , playing out of position at left back after a pre match injury to Dani Alves forced Jordi Alba to switch flanks with the Brazilian , was shown a deserved red card for hauling down Ronaldo as he broke through on goal . On the stroke of half time , Lionel Messi hauled his side back in to the tie with an incredible 28 yard free kick that whistled past Iker Casillas on its way into the top corner . Barcelona improved in the second half , but could n't find a way through a resolute Madrid defense . Even when they did break through the back four , Spain captain Iker Casillas showed why he is one of the most respected goalkeepers in the world with a series of outstanding saves . With ten minutes to go , Real manager introduced $ 50m signing Luka Modric for his debut following his move from Tottenham Hotspur .
Real Madrid beat Barcelona on away goals to take first trophy of season . Explosive first 30 minutes prove too much for Tito Vilanova 's Barcelona side . Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo on target for Los Blancos . TL;DR Lionel Messi scored twice as Argentina won the Copa America final in Chile.
