In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid and Barcelona "crossed their swords" with the Spanish Super Cup trophy at stake. The Blaugrana were the absolute boss against Carlo Ancelotti's team. Despite the fact that the one who took the lead just 5 minutes into the match with a goal from Kylian Mbappe was Real. However, Hansi Flick's "children" achieved a turnaround, resulting in a 5-2 victory, in a final that will certainly not be easily forgotten....


The Spanish and European champions Real Madrid started this season impressively by winning two trophies, the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. However, the first trophy of the year in Spain ended up in the arms of Barcelona and in a very impressive way.


And this is because Hansi Flick's team was imposing for most of the Spanish Super Cup final and despite the fact that they were losing by 5', while playing with a player less for half an hour (Szczesny), they reached a proud triumph with a score of 5-2, with which they sealed their 15th trophy in this institution.


Amazing Rafinha


A great protagonist for the Blaugrana was Rafinha, with the Brazilian midfielder scoring two wonderful goals and having an assist. The other three goals in the party that the Catalans threw at the "King Abdullah Sports City" in Jeddah were scored by Yamal, Lewandowski (penalty) and Balde.

The Spanish Media


The Spanish media have heaped harsh criticism on Real Madrid and Ancelotti for the 5-2 defeat they suffered at the hands of Barcelona in a Super Cup final that they will never forget.


Flick is the author of an excellent work.  Marca reported that Barcelona once again brought out Real's bad side, with Rafinha in particular exposing the Merengues' weaknesses. On the contrary, it describes Hansi Flick as the author of an excellent work, who does not know how to lose finals.


Mundo Deportivo blasted Vinicius, saying he had one of his worst games, turning the Clasico into a tragedy for the Queen. The Brazilian not only failed to score, but was also “disappeared” by Kounte , while also flirting with sending off.


On the other hand, AS gave Kylian Mbappe a light touch, saying he was fighting all alone in one of the nights that were like hell for Real. The French superstar, according to the Spaniards, was a "ray of light" making his best appearance since the day he signed, in contrast to the rest of the team that experienced its most humiliating defeat after the 1-4 defeat by Ajax in 2019.


Finally, Relevo spoke of a final that Real Madrid will never forget, with Flick and his players "crushing" once again a team that seemed... hollow.


The golden book of the institution:
