Real Madrid-Barcelona LIVE!
Vinicius Jr scored a hat-trick in the first half and Real Madrid were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions after a 4-1 demolition of bitter rivals Barcelona in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Real dominated every aspect of the game and toyed with last year’s Supercopa de Espana champions who could not handle Vinicius and ended the contest with 10 men after defender Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second booking in the 71st minute after two fouls on the Brazilian.
Vinicius scored with two point-blank shots in the 7th and 10th minutes before Robert Lewandowski reduced the deficit in the 33rd minute with a shot off the rebound. Vinicius extended Real’s lead in the 39th minute from the penalty spot after Araujo fouled in the box.
The goal was a blow for Barcelona, who were dominated in the second half of this Clasico final and Rodrygo scored Real’s fourth on a rebound in the 64th minute.
GOAL! Los Blancos score the first goal with Vinicius’ goal
GOAL! Vinicius scored two goals in ten minutes
GOAL! Lewandowski’s volley halved the deficit
GOAL! Penalty hat-trick for Vinicius
GOAL! Rodrygo seals the trophy
RED CARD Araujo sent off to sum up Barcelona’s night

“It makes the hairs on your neck stand on end.
“It’s been a tough week, but it’s a dream come true to win my first captain’s title.
“We knew we had a very intelligent dynamic, we’re in good physical and intellectual shape and, against an opponent like Barcelona, to be 2-0 so early is easy. “

“I’m talking about this loss. . . But we have another new festival on Thursday.
“We have to be informed of our defeats and we have other competitions to play. I have confidence in this team.
“At the moment we’re angry about the defeat, against Real Madrid, it still hurts us and I think those two goals in ten minutes, that the game.
“We knew that with a goal we were back in the game, but it wasn’t to be. I’m sure we’ll get through this. Now is the time to be self-critical and informed of our mistakes. “”.

Aurélien Tchouameni imagined his decision on the scoreboard, with a great shot from 20 meters that went over the crossbar approximately one meter.
8:47 p. m. , Marc Mayo
Fermin Lopez sparked a small brawl with a late brawl over Eduardo Camavinga.
Once everything calmed down, La Real replaced Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham with Joselu and Dani Ceballos.

CHANCE!
Brahim Diaz went straight into the middle of the action as he raced into the box, only to be denied a try before Jude Bellingham raced into the tight corner and his shot cleared off the line.
Fede Valverde thumps a volley off target to end the move.
20:37 , Marc Mayo
The Whites’ fans repeat the old “Ole, Ole” as their players kick the ball after a frustrated foul by Joao Felix.
Rodrygo’s night is done, he departs for Brahim Diaz.

Ronald Araujo took the ball and cut back Vinicius Jr on his attempt to clear to leave the Brazilian on the ground.
You can’t discuss this as a momentary reservation.

Ronald Araujo receives a second yellow card and things go from bad to worse for Barcelona!

Lamine Yamal is looking to tease the signing, but Ferland Mendy and Toni Kroos team up to see the teenager go.

The question now is how much can Real Madrid earn for?
Barcelona had nothing in attack this afternoon, enough to break the Whites’ defense with an ideal volley from Robert Lewandowski.
Their game plans, on both sides, just didn’t work out.

RODRYGO MAKES IT 4-1!
That will be the case with the Super Cup!
A fine cross from Fede Valverde as Real raced into space, before a cross from Vinicius Jr miscleared through Jules Kounde and Rodrygo brought it home.
20:24, Marc Mayo
Antonio Rudiger becomes the latest player to enter the book.
We are still waiting for the impressive rebound to get Barcelona back to that level.

Sergi Roberto, Pedri and Ferran Torres have been led by Xavi, while Joao Félix, Lamine Yamal and Fermín López enter the fray for Barcelona.

Vinicius Jr tries to whip up the Real Madrid end after battling with Ronald Araujo into the Barcelona box, and settling for a throw-in.
20:18 , Marc Mayo
Barcelona attack slowly and have numbers to throw balls into the box.
Patience is key for the Blaugrana as Real Madrid settle deeply.
20:14 , Marc Mayo
A great breakaway from Jules Kounde prevented Jude Bellingham from going down to the penalty spot after a mistake by Ilkay Gundogan.
20:11 , Marc Mayo
Pedri tries to do too much around the 18-yard line, but Real struggles to clear their lines, before Andriy Lunin claims a high cross with authority.

After allowing Real to take an early lead, Barcelona fought very hard to get back into the game, and then gave it their all again!
The lack of field in defense costs Xavi’s team dearly.
Their margin of error at the moment is very small. . .

Real Madrid executed their game plan and took a two-goal lead in the first ten minutes.
Two breakaway finishes from Vinicius Jr, fed firstly by Jude Bellingham and then by Rodrygo, exposed Barcelona’s slack high line.
However, they let their opponents get back on the pitch before conceding a penalty to restore their lead, after Ronald Araujo had needlessly withdrawn Vinicius in the box.
If they score the next goal, they will win this Super Cup final.

Blaugrana’s corner with the final play of the half. . .
A good ball from Ilkay Gundogan and the clearance reaches Pedri, who almost takes the most sensible corner.
Nearly a thrilling end to a thrilling half.
19:48, Marc Mayo
A late chance from Barcelona to get him into the box and a tidy regime of free kicks saw Frenkie de Jong pick out Robert Lewandowski, but his header was well cleared.
Real clear and De Jong is there to hack away their cross.

Vinicius Jr scored two goals in the first ten minutes.

The mystery solved was Barcelona’s goalkeeping coach, Jose Ramon de los Angeles Fuente, who was sent off for protesting the penalty.
Four minutes.
19:44 , Marc Mayo
There is a red card to a member of the coaching staff, possibly from Barcelona, in the middle of this penalty decision.
Jude Bellingham has now booked Pedri for a strong attack, but replays recommend it very difficult. They gave him the ball, not much, man.
Sergi Roberto was also shown a yellow card at one point during the penalty.

As simple as it can be for Vinicius Jr.

Ronaldo Araujo had his arm around the back of Vinicius Jr’s neck and the referee didn’t hesitate to point to the penalty!
It will be Vinicius Jr who wins. . .

Sorrow!
Vinicius Jr goes down after a cross and Ronald Araujo is cautioned.
19:36, Marc Mayo
Right, then. Premonitions of Barcelona fading to dust in this Supercopa final are proving untrue!
We’ll see how Madrid react to the halving of their lead.
Barcelona have certainly been the better team for the last 20 or so minutes…

A ball fell to Robert Lewandowski at the 18-yard line and he wasted no time, sending a volley into the back of the net!
19:31 , Marc Mayo
Dani Carvajal made great saves from Alejandro Balde’s shot in the box, before La Real had to settle for Antonio Rudiger’s helmet to clear.
19:28, Marc Mayo
SAVE!
Good and save at the feet of Andriy Lunin to push Ferran Torres away from very close range.
Delicious ball from Pedri into the box.
19:28, Marc Mayo
It is inevitable that the heated atmosphere in Riyadh has subsided somewhat.
Now it’s Barcelona’s turn to score the goal.
19:25, Marc Mayo
Jules Kounde dropped back noticeably to try and save Real’s counter-attacks, before Ronald Araujo was in charge of marking Vinicius Jr at another break.
19:21, Marc Mayo
Ferran Torres still shoots wide.
19:19, Marc Mayo
Madrid are content to let Barcelona fend for themselves now, but despite this incredibly fast start, a goal from the Catalans will mean they are fit.
19:18, Marc Mayo
A de Nacho when Barcelona headed a corner into the six-yard penalty area, where he dived as Jules Kounde dived at his shin.
19:13, Marc Mayo
POST!
Barcelona’s more sensible defensive line has been punished mercilessly, but they still have no options to declare bankruptcy.
And a shot from Ferran Torres hit the crossbar, before Robert Lewandowski’s rebound was well saved!
19:11 , Marc Mayo
IT’S TWO!
As in the first, acres of ground for La Real to run into and Rodrypass clears a cross for Vinicius to pass into the goal.
Real Madrid in the land of dreams!

FIRST BLOOD, THE WHITES!
Jude Bellingham slides Vinicius Jr and he passes the goalkeeper to go home!

“Having been at the club since I was 14, I’m especially excited because it’s my first chance to win the captain’s title,” he said. “But a Clasico is always a wonderful leveler.
“There’s a lot of rivalry and Madrid are a very strong team, so we’ll have to give 100 per cent in all aspects and also be very aware of what Madrid are capable of doing on the counter-attack. “
“Winning the Super Cup would be a turning point and give us the momentum we want to move forward and fight for trophies at the end of the season. “

There are two hours left until the Super Cup kicks off in Saudi Arabia!
Team news can come early, so keep your eyes peeled.
16:55
Barcelona were in convincing form before the winter break, losing trouble in La Liga to Valencia and Girona before overcoming Almeria.
Real, meanwhile, haven’t tasted defeat at any festival since September, and their firepower was on full display against Atletico, even if they were far from defensive.
We’re La Real to avenge last year’s final and lift the trophy.
Real Madrid to win, 3-1.
16:50
Barcelona’s planned XI: Ter Stegen; Cancelo, Koundé, Christensen, Baldé; Romeu, De Jong, Gündogan; Yamal, Lewandowski, Torres
16:46
Raphinha is out for Barcelona after being sent off in the first half against Osasuna.
Pedri has returned to the bench and may start, while Joao Cancelo is fighting to be in contention.
16:40
Real Madrid’s expected XI: Kepa; Carvajal, Rúdiger, Nacho, Mendy; Tchouameni, Modric, Valverde; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr.
16:35
Federico Valverde will be compatible with La Real despite going off in extra time with a shot in the semi-final win.
Reports in Spain suggest that this is not a serious factor and that he will be ready to face Barcelona.
Dani Carvajal is also expected to be present despite lacking training for the final.
Ancelotti may be tempted to bring in new legs after the 120-minute intensity against Atletico, with the additions of Eduardo Camavinga and Toni Kroos to the squad.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, and that’s because no broadcaster picked it up.
