Sevilla 1 Barcelona 2: Ben Yedder penalty woe after Dembele thunderbolt in Supercopa

Ousmane Dembele fired a spectacular winner to seal a 2-1 Supercopa de Espana triumph for Barcelona over Sevilla as Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved a last-gasp penalty in Tangier.
Sevilla president Jose Castro voiced objections over the Spanish season's curtain-raiser being taken away from its traditional two-legged format to be played in Morocco but Pablo Machin's side started the brighter.
Ter Stegen brought down ex-Barca full-back Aleix Vidal, only to atone for his clumsiness by holding a tame spot-kick from Sevilla substitute Wissam Ben Yedder.
Dembele put the injury misery that ruined his debut season in Catalonia behind him by blasting in a rasping right-footed strike via the crossbar, although there was a final twist
Ter Stegen brought down ex-Barca full-back Aleix Vidal, only to atone for his clumsiness by holding a tame spot-kick from Sevilla substitute Wissam Ben Yedder.
Sarabia was forced to put his celebrations on hold after collecting Luis Muriel's pass and drilling a low shot past Ter Stegen but, after reviewing his linesman's incorrect offside call, referee Carlos del Cerro Grande allowed the goal to stand.
Sevilla goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik denied Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba before Clement Lenglet headed over from a Messi free-kick against his former employers.
Luis Suarez dragged a glorious chance wide but Barca were level when Messi's free-kick spun off the post and the unfortunate Vaclik for Pique to prod home.
Sarabia almost instantly restored Sevilla's advantage, only for Ter Stegen to stand firm following more fine work from Muriel.
Franco Vazquez glanced against the top of the Barcelona bar from an Ever Baenga corner and clipped a shot agonisingly wide from the Argentina playmaker's pass in the 69th minute.
Vaclik thwarted Messi and Suarez with a brilliant double save but he had no chance when Dembele dazzlingly tried his luck with 12 minutes to play. Ben Yedder would gallingly fail with his considerably easier chance.

Barcelona Hijack Malcolm Deal From Roma

Barcelona reached a deal to sign Bordeaux's Malcolm for £36.5m, few hours after Roma announced they had agreed a deal for the same player. Malcolm had a very successful year last season in Ligue 1 after his move from Corinthians. The Brazilian winger was expected to join Seria A side Roma after the club had announced a deal had been agreed. However, Barcelona has other plans in mind, swooping in with a better offer before he had boarded a plane for Italy. This deal was set to be Roma's biggest of the summer and complete an attacking trio after the arrival of Javier Pastore and Justin Kluivert. The player's agent, Fernando Garcia, told Real Sport that it was the decision of the French club and not the player that resulted in the late switch: "We had an agreement with Rome, then Bordeaux blocked us."
