It’s over!
Barça wins the Spanish Super Cup! The Catalans generally outclassed Real Madrid, who never knew how to take advantage of their numerical superiority in the second half. This is Barça’s 15th title in this competition. Thank you for following us and have a good evening!
90’+2
Real pushes
Bellingham fails to take advantage of a brilliant backheel from Mbappé. Valverde strikes from afar. It’s not framed.
87′
Barça manages
Araujo takes yellow. But we still don’t feel any revolt from Real Madrid, despite the numerical superiority.
79′
Change
Ferran Torres replaces Raphinha, victim of cramps.
72′
Big lull
Since they have been reduced to 10, the Catalans have logically locked the game in. Real Madrid, opposite, does not seem to find the solution. Note the entry of Fran Garcia in place of Mendy and the exit of Vinicius, replaced by Brahim Diaz.
64′
Change
Tchouaméni is replaced by Modric. The Frenchman had just received a yellow for a foul on Olmo.
60′
LE BUUUUUUUUT !
Rodrygo reduces the score! On the free kick which follows the Catalan goalkeeper’s red card, the Brazilian sends a powerful shot hit by Pena. The leather hits the right post then goes to the bottom. 2-5!
58′
Red card!
Barça goalkeeper Szczęsny commits a foul on Mbappé, who had just eliminated him in front of the area. At first, the referee does not whistle anything. But the VAR intervenes and points out the fault. As the regulations impose, the Pole is excluded. Pena will therefore replace Gavi. Yamal also left, replaced by Olmo.
48′
RODRYGO… then a goal from Barça
What a sending from Rodrygo! The Brazilian sends a missile over the bar after a cross from Vinicius. We believed in the goal… but on the counter, Barça makes 1-5! Tchouaméni gets eaten by Raphinha behind his back. He plays the shot perfectly to get into a striking position and crosses to the right side of the goal. 1-5! 1-5!
45′
We’re going back
The second half has just started. Real Madrid are condemned to the feat to return to this Super Cup. Note the entry of Ceballos in place of Camavinga at Real Madrid.
45’+9
AND HERE’S THE FOURTH!
Just before the break, it’s Baldé who drives the point home a little more! 1-4 for Barça! Raphinha takes advantage of Rodrygo losing the ball and eliminates his defender. He gives it to Baldé, who crosses and places it in the right net. Just behind, the referee whistles for the break. What a demonstration!
45’+6
COURTOIS !
What a save from Courtois! The Belgian goalkeeper takes out a power shot from Baldé very well in the small rectangle. It was pretty!
45’+1
Camavinga takes a risk
Camavinga took a big risk with an anti-play foul on Yamal. The referee holds back, but he came close to being sent off on a second yellow card.
40′
OH THE MARVEL!
WHAT A GOAL! Barça is taking the break! Koundé gives an exceptional cross and sends the ball to the head of Raphinha, who takes it and deceives Courtois. It’s 1-3!
35′
PENALTY !
VAR awards a penalty to Barça. Gavi is clearly caught by Camavinga in the area, hit in the hip. Lewandowski gives it well, right side of the goal and makes it 1-2 for the Catalans!
27′
An injured
Araujo replaces Martinez, who collapsed alone on the field. We will also note, in these last minutes, the very good attempt by Tchouaméni on an acrobatic recovery.
22′
NO BUUUUUUUT
Barça equalizes and it is deserved throughout this first period! Lewandowski gives a great through ball to Yamal, who eliminates Tchouaméni and uncrosses his shot, which goes into Courtois’ small net. Superb goal!
19′
Fear for Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé remained on the ground, after being hit in involuntary contact with Koundé. He was attended to by doctors, who put a large bandage around his ankle. But the Frenchman is good on the ground.
13′
Barça recovers
The Catalans did not collapse after this quick goal. Raphinha has already almost equalized, but his ball, sent from the left of the small rectangle, grazed Courtois’ post.
5′
LE BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT !
The counterattack is magnificent and Mbappé makes it 1-0! The Frenchman treats the ball to his feet, eliminates his defenders well and crosses on the left to make the difference. It didn’t take long!
4′
COURTOIS !
Another big save from Courtois! Raphinha, in the open area, relaxes to place a good header, but the Belgian boy is still there to get the ball out!
2′
Courteous, already
First good opportunity, with a strike from Yamal, shifted to the right side. The ball bounces in front of the small rectangle, but Courtois is in the right place to get it out.
0′
Here we go!
We’re off to this Spanish Super Cup final! Good match everyone.
19h45
The routes
To reach the final, both teams had to put up great battles. Barça tamed Bilbao, while Real Madrid scored three goals against Mallorca.

Barça’s line-up
No surprises among the Catalans either! Szczesny starts in goal. The middle line Pedri-Casado is also confirmed. Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski are logically aligned.
19h25
The Royal Composite
No surprises at all in the Real Madrid lineup. Note the tenure of Tchouaméni in the axis of defense. Alaba is on the bench. Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius and Mbappé are all on the pitch.

Title holders, Real Madrid will have to Sunday “avoid repeating the mistakes” of the last Clasico lost at the Santiago Bernabéu (4-0) against FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, relocated to Saudi Arabia, in Jeddah, estimated his coach Carlo Ancelotti on Saturday.
“We made a pretty clear assessment of this defeat (4-0 on matchday 11 of La Liga, NLDR). We started well and collapsed in the second half. We have to reproduce the good things we have make and avoid the mistakes made. A Clasico is always a Clasico, even more so if it is a final. Playing against Barcelona is always something special.declared Carlo Ancelotti at a press conference.
