JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA — In one of the most chaotic and captivating finals in recent memory, Barcelona vs Real Madrid lived up to every ounce of its billing as the world’s biggest football match. Hansi Flick’s Barcelona retained their Spanish Super Cup crown on Sunday night, edging out eternal rivals Real Madrid 3–2 in a contest defined by a breathless first-half stoppage time and a match-winning performance from Raphinha.
The victory at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium marks Barcelona’s 16th Super Cup title and hands Xabi Alonso his third consecutive final defeat against the Catalans, intensifying the narrative of this season’s Barcelona vs Real Madrid rivalry.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid: A First Half for the History Books
For the first 35 minutes, the final was a tense tactical battle, with Barcelona controlling possession but struggling to break down Real Madrid’s low block. That deadlock shattered in the 36th minute when Raphinha, the undisputed man of the match, fired a low drive past Thibaut Courtois to make it 1–0.
Then came “The Madness.” In a sequence that will define this chapter of Barcelona vs Real Madrid history, three goals were scored in five frantic minutes of first-half stoppage time.
- 45+2′: Vinícius Júnior ended his 16-match goal drought with a moment of individual brilliance, nutmegging Jules Koundé to level the score.
- 45+4′: Almost immediately, Pedri dissected the Madrid defense to find Robert Lewandowski, who restored Barça’s lead with a clinical finish.
- 45+6′: In the dying seconds of the half, Real Madrid youngster Gonzalo García pounced on a rebound off the crossbar to volley home a stunning equalizer.
The teams entered the tunnel at 2–2, leaving fans breathless.
Raphinha Decides the Latest Barcelona vs Real Madrid Clash
The second half of Barcelona vs Real Madrid began with a more cautious tempo, but the night belonged to Raphinha. In the 73rd minute, the Brazilian winger cut inside and unleashed a shot that took a wicked deflection off Madrid defender Raúl Asencio. The touch wrong-footed Courtois, nesting into the net for the decisive 3–2 lead.
Desperate to salvage the final, Xabi Alonso introduced Kylian Mbappé in the 76th minute. The French superstar, recovering from a knee sprain, injected pace but couldn’t break a resolute Barcelona defense.
Red Card Drama and a Gritty Finish
No Barcelona vs Real Madrid derby is complete without controversy. Tension boiled over in stoppage time when Barcelona captain Frenkie de Jong was shown a straight red card for a cynical challenge on an Mbappé breakaway.
Down to 10 men, Barcelona relied on heroics from goalkeeper Joan García. The shot-stopper produced a miraculous double-save in the 94th minute, denying close-range efforts from Álvaro Carreras and Asencio to preserve the lead.
