The players posed for many photographs with the trophy as they celebrated a 5-1 aggregate win over rivals Barcelona.

Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema got the goals on the night for Zinedine Zidane's side to help them cruise to victory in the Spanish Super Cup.

Many of the players posed for individual photos with the trophy which were posted on their Instagram accounts. The squad also gathered for a number of photos in their dressing room and in front of the goal to celebrate their first success of the new season.

Madrid were dominant in the first leg with a 3-1 victory at the Camp Nou but Asensio underlined the fact that the players wanted to win at home as well.

"The fans show us incredible support and so naturally we want to reward them with titles," he said.

"We were playing at home and had to really turn it on, and we created opportunities, we played the better football over the tie."

Meanwhile, Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique conceded that his side had been much worse than their rivals over the two legs.

"This a long process and there is room for improvement, but in the nine years that I have been here, it is the first time that I feel inferior to Madrid.

"We are not in the best moment, either as a team or as a club. We must stay as close as possible and keep moving forwards."

Real start their domestic campaign with an away trip to Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday evening.
