Another Clásico won by Barcelona this season, and this time with the league title. A first title for Barça in the Hansi Flick era and a first for young star Lamine Yamal, who scored the opening goal in a 5-2 win over Real Madrid in Jeddah in the Super Cup final.
Expectations were high for this match, with Real Madrid hoping for revenge for their 4-0 defeat in October at the Bernabéu. But the match, despite Kylian Mbappé’s early goal, turned into a nightmare. Barcelona took advantage of Real Madrid’s defensive weakness and lack of precision with the ball, conceding four goals within thirty minutes: Jamal, Lewandowski, Balde and two goals by Raphinha.
Even with one more player after Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny was sent off with a direct red card after stepping on Mbappé, Madrid were unable to create many chances in the final 30 minutes of the match. In this way, Madrid loses the dream of the “septet” (winning all seven titles this season), and Barcelona wins its 15th Super Cup, the first title after 125 years of celebration.
