Raphinha was more decisive than Vini Jr. and Rodrygo and even than your companion Lamine Yamal in the decision of Spanish Super Cup between Barcelona e Real Madridin Jeddah, in Saudi Arabiathis Sunday. The stadium was full. The Spanish Football Federation sold the tournament decision to the Saudis for six seasons. The clubs and the entity itself made a lot of money. Saudi fans went to the stadium dressed in the shirts of both clubs. They stood side by side without any confusion. They just wanted to see the show. There were many women in the game. THE Barcelona won 3-2 and became two-time champion. It was their first title of the season.
And once again, as in the last dispute, Raphinha “ended” the game. The Brazilian striker scored twice and gave the victory to his team, Barcelona, which was better throughout the dispute. The Catalan team had 68% ownership ball, shot more at goal and had the best opportunities. Raphinha had already been decisive in the 2025 dispute by scoring a goal. He repeated the dose in this edition.
Real Madrid’s second half was a little better, when Rodrygo and Vini Jr. they started playing more. In fact, Vini was the best on his team, but received few balls. His goal, in the first 1-1 draw, was a painting that Messi would easily sign. The Brazilian passed three players inside the box before shooting. Vini needed a goal like that to silence the critics. In the end, already losing 3-2, the Madrid team had two good chances, but wasted both. If it had tied again, the decision would have gone to penalties. Saudi fans would love it.
