The Catalans showcased their attacking prowess with breathtaking goals and combinations, leaving Real Madrid reeling and marking their worst-ever Supercopa final defeat.
Despite falling behind early to a spectacular goal from Kylian Mbappé in the fifth minute, Barcelona quickly regrouped. Led by the prodigious talent Lamine Yamal, they turned the tide in Jeddah’s King Abdullah Sports City stadium.
Yamal ignited the comeback in the 22nd minute, unleashing a powerful strike from 16 meters past Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.Robert Lewandowski then converted a penalty in the 36th minute to give Barcelona the led, before Raphinha extended their advantage with a well-placed header just before halftime.
Adding to Real Madrid’s woes,Mbappé sustained an ankle injury during the match,leading to a lengthy stoppage time. Barcelona capitalized on this opportunity, with Alex Balde finishing off a swift counter-attack to make it 4-1 at the break.
The jubilant Barcelona fans, including club president Joan Laporta, witnessed a masterclass performance, contrasting sharply with the dejected Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez.
Laporta had been embroiled in a pre-match controversy, fighting for the eligibility of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, whose registrations were initially blocked due to Barcelona’s financial constraints. Ultimately, a ruling by the Supreme Sports Council allowed them to participate, albeit provisionally.
Despite Olmo starting on the bench, Barcelona continued their dominance in the second half. Raphinha, in scintillating form, scored his second goal of the night, further demoralizing real Madrid.The drama intensified when Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny received a red card for a challenge on Mbappé. Substitute keeper Iñaki Peña entered the fray, replacing the injured marc-André ter Stegen, who is still recovering from a knee injury.
Peña couldn’t prevent Rodrygo from scoring a consolation goal for Real Madrid, but the damage was already done. Even the introduction of Luka Modrić couldn’t salvage the situation for real Madrid, who were outplayed and outclassed by a rampant Barcelona side.
This resounding victory marks a significant milestone for Hansi Flick and his team, setting the stage for a promising season ahead.
