FC Barcelona and Real Madrid met in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. After the end of the first half, the “Pride of Catalonia” players had much more reason to be happy, as they went to the locker room with a 4-1 lead.
Barcelona fans experienced a moment of horror in the 28th minute. Inigo Martinez then left the field. The experienced stopper probably suffered a muscle injury and was unable to continue playing. So far, it is not known how serious the injury was for the experienced stopper.
He was replaced by Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan has recently recovered from a serious injury he suffered during the Copa America in the summer. The Super Cup final is only his second appearance this season.
When Martinez left the field, the scoreboard read 1-1. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring in the 5th minute. In the 22nd minute, Lamine Yamal tied the score by taking advantage of Robert Lewandowski’s pass.
The end of the first half was a great performance by Barcelona. The “Pride of Catalonia” took the lead in the 36th minute after Lewandowski converted a penalty kick. Shortly afterwards, Raphinha scored a goal to make it 3-1, and Alejandro Balde added the fourth goal in stoppage time.
In the second half, Real did not change the fate of the match. Barcelona ultimately won 5-2 and lifted their first trophy this season.
