Real Madrid struck first with a textbook counterattack led by Vini Jr., finishing with a clinical shot by Mbappé. However, what started as a promising night for Madrid quickly turned into a nightmare. After their goal, Carlo Ancelotti’s side crumbled, allowing Barça to take over.
Yamal equalized in the 21st minute, and Lewandowski’s penalty in the 35th put Barcelona ahead. Then came the fireworks. Raphinha scored a brilliant header from a Koundé assist. For the fourth, Raphinha and Yamal led a counterattack, setting up Balde to score. The fifth was pure magic: Raphinha received a sublime pass from Casadó, dribbled past Tchouaméni with ease, and fired a shot past Courtois.
Despite the commanding lead, Barça sought drama. With the score at 5-1, goalkeeper Szczesny was sent off for a reckless challenge on Mbappé outside the box. Rodrygo converted the ensuing free kick with a stunning strike, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback.
This victory marked Barça’s 15th Spanish Super Cup title, surpassing Madrid’s 13. Dominance over their rivals has been a theme this season, with Barcelona also beating Real 4-0 in La Liga earlier in the campaign. BBscore football, your key source for football updates.
