Barcelona better than Real for the first trophy of the season!

(Patria) - Barcelona and Real played a spectacular Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at the King Abdullah Stadium. The Catalans celebrated a 3-2 victory in a great match, powered by a brilliant Raphinha.

The fight for the first trophy of 2026 brought a real frenzy, so it is enough to say that we saw four goals in the first half, as many as three of which were in injury time.

Real created the first chances, but shots from Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia were easy prey for Barca's goalkeeper Garcia, after which Barca responded through Yamal and Raphinha.

And then, in the 34th minute, Raphinha missed the impossible after a great pass from Yamal, but the Brazilian quickly made amends. He brilliantly hit the opposite corner of Real's goal with his left foot.

Immediately on the other side, Pedri gave a fantastic pass to Lewandowski, and the Pole sent the ball into the net in his style. Barca's joy did not last long, as Real equalized to 2-2 after a corner. Garcia managed to direct the ball into the net amidst the chaos.

The second half of the match was not as effective, however. Vinicius threatened Barca in the 51st minute, but Garcia saved his shot. The Brazilian got the rebound, but shot over the goal.

A good chance for Real in the 62nd minute. Rodrygo shot low, but Garcia was in place and saved again. In the 70th minute, a great chance for Barca, Kounde crossed, Yamal shot powerfully, and Courtois again showed his class.

Shortly after, Raphinha scored. He shot, the ball deflected off someone and deceived Courtois.

Xabi Alonso immediately reacted and brought Kylian Mbappé into the game, who was not ready to play from the start.

Another chance in the 79th minute, Dani Olmo was on the attack, but shot poorly and over the goal. Things heated up at the start of stoppage time when Frenkie de Jong received a direct red card after a harsh tackle on Mbappé. Rashford had a clear chance in the 95th minute, he ran towards Courtois' goal alone, and then shot wide.

Real also had a great chance through Carreras, who was alone 10 meters from Barca's goal, but his shot was terrible, only reaching Garcia.

Last year too, Barca was better in the Super Cup final, winning 5-2, and after that, the Catalans won La Liga and the Cup, and we will see if they manage to repeat it in 2026.
