Barcelona won the Spanish Super Cup after a tough goalless draw against Aletico Madrid at Camp Nou.

The first leg held last week at the Vicente Calderon finished on a 1-1 draw with Barcelona's Neymar and former Barcelona player David Villa scoring, reports Xinhua.

Barcelona won their 11th title Wednesday, thanks to the away goal rule.

The fourth-time world player, Lionel Messi, played Wednesday evening, having been recovering from a thigh bruise that prevented him from the Malaga game Sunday.

Messi was withdrawn at halftime in the Super Cup first leg.
