Szczęsny was sent off. There is Flick’s reaction

FC Barcelona crushed Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, winning 5-2. The triumph could have been even greater, but from the 54th minute the Pride of Catalonia had to cope with ten players.

Wojciech Szczęsny left the field prematurely. The Pole fouled Kylian Mbappe outside the penalty area. After the VAR analysis, the referee showed Szczęsny a red card, and a moment later the Royal team scored a goal to make it 2:5 from a free kick.

Weakened by the lack of one player, Barcelona maintained concentration, played confidently in defense and did not allow what they had previously earned to be squandered in half an hour. Coach Hansi Flick did not hide his joy with the team’s attitude.

– I’m proud of how we reacted on the bench to Szczęsny’s red card. We made the right decision. Inaki Pena, who replaced the Pole, did a fantastic job – emphasized the German coach at the post-match press conference.

– However, I am most proud of how the team defended when they were short. We showed strength as a team. Of course, I don’t forget about the goal scorers. Overall, there are many things we can be happy about after a match like this, Flick added.
