On Sunday night at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona clashed in an exhilarating showdown for the grand finale of the Spanish Supercup. In this highly anticipated Clasico, the Madrid side brilliantly avenged their previous encounters.
The opening moments of the match were explosive, with Real Madrid seizing control right from the start.
In just seven minutes, the newly minted number 7, Vinicius Jr, spectacularly opened the scoring.
Sent through on goal by Jude Bellingham, the talented Brazilian forward capitalized on a defensive lapse from Jules Koundé to easily beat goalkeeper Inaki Pena (1-0, 3′).
Before FC Barcelona could regroup, Carlo Ancelotti’s men extended their lead.
Vinicius Jr once again stole the spotlight ten minutes later, this time expertly set up by Rodrygo at the far post.
The young forward lunged in with both feet to double the advantage (2-0, 10th minute). A remarkable performance that solidified Real Madrid’s position in this high-stakes encounter.
The remainder of the match promises to be captivating, with Madrid determined to maintain their lead and Barcelona seeking to turn the tide.
In the second half, Xavi’s Barcelona attempted to dictate the tempo of the match. However, facing a Real Madrid team in exceptional form, the dynamics quickly balanced out.
Refusing to be dominated, Madrid even delivered the final blow to their rivals. Vinicius, after receiving a sublime cross-field pass from Valverde, drove forward and delivered a precise cross toward the penalty spot in search of Bellingham.
In the Catalan box, Koundé’s clearance was unfortunate, and Rodrygo took full advantage, effortlessly slotting the ball into the net (4-1, 64th minute).
To compound Barcelona’s woes in a match that turned into a one-sided affair, Ronald Araujo was sent off after receiving a second yellow card (71st minute).
The match concluded with a resounding 4-1 victory for Real Madrid. With great mastery, they corrected Barcelona’s aspirations and secured their 13th Spanish Supercup.
