The first 2025 trophy. The first trophy of the era of Hansi’s film. The first senior club trophy for Lamine Yamal. A record for the 15th Spanish Super Cup trophy . . .
But more than all that, he won by scoring five (five!) Olyes from behind nothing less than Real Madrid! The players had said before the adjustment that they knew how to harm their greatest rival. They had already shown that when they were defeated 4 -0 at the Bernabéu in the League, and tonight they showed us again in Saudi Arabia!
That makes it the first time ever that Barça have scored four goals or more in two consecutive Clásicos!
For all useful purposes, the game ended part-time. Even despite conceding an early goal, Barca had come on a 4-1 lead before they entered the interval. Just amazed. Lamine, Lewandowski (Pen), Raphinha and Balde received the goals in the first half, and after Raphinha stayed for a moment at the start of the part of the moment, which knows what other wonders could have come if the unleashed Barça had not been interrupted through a red card, which meant that they had to play at the maximum of the moment with ten men?
When Madrid took the lead after 4 minutes, no one could have imagined the scenes that followed. What reaction were we about to attend Array?
Barça didn’t start badly. In fact, Thibaut Courtois had already been tested to the limit twice before an all-white counter attack resulted in Kylian Mbappé swivelling his way through the Barça defence. Wojciech Szczęsny was beaten for the first time since his comeback from retirement, but that initial setback would very soon be nothing but an anecdote.
Inepected through the concede, Barca continued to bond and after Raphinha and Pedri came closer, a moment of natural elegance from Lamine Yamal regained the score. The young user danced in the right place, then struck courtesies with a perfectly placed finish. 1-1-1.
A quarter of an hour later, Barça were ahead. Gavi was cut through a top foot in the box, and the referee was originally pointed out, the VAR room insisting he was worth a look. It was a penalty, and Robert Lewandowski did what Robert Lewandowski has been doing from the penalty spot.
Madrid now had to advance, and Barca exploited their exposure at the back to bring up two more before the break.
A long ball through Jules Kound found himself brilliantly through Raphinha’s head. It is 3-0, and deeply in the time of injury, Real Madrid went to the head, while its last corner ended in a way with the Alejandro Balde score for Barça at the other extreme!
Barça fans were rubbing their eyes to check that they weren’t dreaming. They weren’t, and there was yet more to come.
A few moments after restarting, Rodrygo hit Barça’s post and Madrid’s players cursed his bad luck when Raphinha scored once again. A brilliant evidence of Marc Casadó was crowned through a single one led through the Brazilian. There were five. And there was still almost time to play. It was no longer a consultation of knowing if Barça would win as one of how much they were going to do it. The way things happened, may have been without problems for Comeray.
Until that moment, the only problem of the night had been the loss of Iñigo Martínez due to an injury in the first half. But then I got an unforeseen twist in the story here. Szczęsny’s outstretched leg grabbed Mbappe when he succeeded, and that’s enough to convince the referee that the Barca goalkeeper had to go.
Iñaki Peña will play in the last after all, and his first task will decide on the ball from the back of the network after Rodrygo changed the loose kick.
Barça still led by three, but they’d be playing the last half hour a man down. Madrid truly believed they still had a chance of clawing their way back into this.
For Barça, now it was time to straighten in defense, concentrate strongly and paint the clock. Madrid has a past transmission due to an art form beyond Duely, but they were not going to do like this tonight. The Blaugrana did a task to keep them under control and that the Mins passed, a return from Madrid has become a serious possibility.
As it happened, they wouldn’t score at all, the closest call coming when Mbappe looked certain to score but a simply breathtaking save from Peña made sure he didn’t.
Barça enthusiasts throughout the global can simply start delighting. The Super Cup returned to the plane for Catalonia, and the guy who made the paintings of the collection was Marc-André Ter Stegen. A great touch to finish a lovely night. Cue we are the Champions -Strate . . . And forced Barça!
