After their late equaliser at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, the Rojiblancos need only a scoreless draw at the Vicente Calderon to claim their first trophy of the season

James Rodriguez will have the winning goal in his sights when Real Madrid visit Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana second leg on Friday.

The Colombia international, who arrived from Monaco last month, opened his account for the European champions as they were denied late on in a 1-1 first-leg draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.

James applied the finish to a scrappy build-up to open the scoring in the 81st minute, before Raul Garcia tapped home from a Koke corner to give Atletico the advantage on away goals.

And, while revealing his delight at getting off the mark for Real, James is determined to score a goal of even greater importance when the sides meet again at the Vicente Calderon on Friday.

The encounter is a repeat of last season's Champions League final, which Real won 4-1 after extra-time.

The sides met five times in all competitions during the 2013-14 campaign, and Real also came out on top when the clubs clashed in the Copa del Rey -running out 5-0 aggregate winners in the semi-finals before beating Barcelona in the final.

However, Atletico had the edge in La Liga, taking four points off Real on their way to winning the title.

Real, who have already lifted the Super Cup during pre-season, will have concerns over the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had to be substituted at half-time in the first leg due to a leg injury, but coach Carlo Ancelotti has assured fans that the problem is not serious.

Luka Modric should be involved after putting pen to paper on a new four-year contract on Wednesday.

Who do you think will win the cup Guys. I'm rooting for the Whites though.
