FC Barcelona gave no chance to Real Madrid on Sunday and confidently won the Spanish Super Cup final 5-2. Carlo Ancelotti’s players looked weak and had no arguments to oppose their rivals. In fact, the only one who can be praised is Kylian Mbappe, who had to deal with an injury for most of the match. However, it was not enough to take revenge for the October loss at Santiago Bernabeu by 0:4.

This is how they assessed FC Barcelona’s attack. They compared him to Real Madrid
Just like a few months ago, FC Barcelona’s victory was decided by the attacking line: Raphinha – Robert Lewandowski – Lamine Yamal. Then our player scored a double, and a goal was scored by a Brazilian and a Spaniard. This time, two goals were scored by a former Leeds United player. You can argue that Real Madrid has a better attack with Kylian Mbappe, Vincius Junior and Rodrygo, but it is difficult to back it up with arguments at the moment.
The Barca Universal website compared the attacking formations of both teams and concluded that at this stage of the competition, the Catalan club’s offense is “a mile ahead of its rival.” It was noted that Mbappe’s arrival was announced as the “beginning of a unique dynasty” of Real’s strikers, while the eternal rival currently has a significant advantage in this respect. Journalists even believe that FC Barcelona’s attack is the best in the world.
And they admitted that direct matches between both teams are a great point of reference. We can see that Barcelona scored nine goals, of which the “attackers” guaranteed eight of them. As for Real, he scored only two goals against his rival this season – by Mbappe and Rodrygo. Vinicius, who scored a hat-trick in the Super Cup final last year and was an absolute hero, is still waiting for a breakthrough.
“If we do not look at direct matches, the dominance of FC Barcelona’s attack is even greater,” we read. It was emphasized that the mentioned attack scored 53 goals this season (Lewandowski – 26, Raphinha – 19, Yamal – 8), while Real’s offensive trio scored only 38. As a whole, FC Barcelona also looks impressive, as it scored a total of 38 goals in 28 matches. . This gives an average of just under three goals per match, which is an even better result than achieved by, among others, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
Finally, it was added that Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are currently the best scorers in both La Liga and the Champions League. The Brazilian also triumphed in this respect in the Super Cup ex aequo with Yamal, while our player finished the competition with one goal.
