Barcelona Humiliate Real Madrid 5-2 in Spanish Super Cup Final
Real Madrid suffered yet another embarrassing Clasico defeat, falling 5-2 to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. For the second consecutive meeting, Carlo Ancelotti’s side was exposed defensively, conceding five goals in just 50 minutes.
Los Blancos were consistently beaten on the counterattack, struggling to contain Barcelona’s relentless attacking play. Despite an early lead from Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid’s defensive frailties led to a heavy defeat against their biggest rivals.
Goals Galore: How the Clasico Unfolded
This was far from a cagey affair—from the very first minute, the game was full of chaos and attacking intent.
Mbappe opened the scoring, finishing a well-orchestrated counterattack with a powerful strike.
Lamine Yamal responded quickly, cutting inside and curling a low shot into the bottom corner.
Lewandowski made it 2-1 from the penalty spot after Madrid’s sloppy defending led to a foul inside the box.
Raphinha scored Barcelona’s third, finding himself in acres of space and converting a free header.
Balde made it four after a Madrid mistake from a corner, finishing a swift counterattack with ease.
Raphinha completed the rout, twisting Aurelien Tchouameni inside out before wrong-footing Courtois.
Madrid’s Brief Hope Ends Quickly
After going 5-1 down, Madrid saw a glimmer of hope when Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for bringing down Mbappe outside the box. Rodrygo curled in a stunning free-kick, but that was all Madrid could manage. Even against 10 men, they failed to break down a disciplined Barcelona defense.
