Barcelona dominates Real Madrid with historic 5-2 victory to win Supercopa de España
The night at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was one to remember as Barcelona outclassed Real Madrid with a stunning 5-2 victory in the Supercopa de España final. With exceptional individual performances from Raphinha and Lewandowski, coupled with a cohesive team effort, the Catalan side claimed their first trophy of the season. This match, filled with drama and memorable moments, solidified Barcelona’s dominance in one of football’s greatest rivalries.
Kylian Mbappé gave Real Madrid an early lead just five minutes into the match, using his speed to break through Barcelona’s defense. However, what could have been a devastating blow only fueled the Catalan squad’s determination. At the 21st minute, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal equalized with a well-orchestrated play alongside Robert Lewandowski. This marked the beginning of a thrilling comeback, as Barcelona took control and ended the first half with a commanding lead.
As the first half progressed, Barcelona grew stronger. At the 33rd minute, VAR intervened to award a penalty after Eduardo Camavinga fouled Gavi. Lewandowski converted with precision, putting Barcelona ahead. Before the halftime whistle, Raphinha added another with a header, and Alejandro Balde capped it off during stoppage time, giving Barcelona a staggering 4-1 lead.
a first half of catalan dominance
Barcelona showcased extraordinary offensive efficiency in the first half, exploiting Real Madrid’s defensive vulnerabilities. The Catalan side maintained the majority of possession, recording 12 shots and forcing multiple saves from Thibaut Courtois. The seamless blend of young talent and seasoned players was evident, with Lamine Yamal displaying a maturity far beyond his years and Lewandowski providing leadership.
High pressing and aggressive tactics prevented Real Madrid from organizing their midfield. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos struggled to create chances, while Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo were stifled by Barcelona’s tight defensive coverage.

second half and szczesny’s red card
The second half began with Real Madrid showing signs of life. At the eighth minute, Rodrygo nearly scored with a powerful strike that rattled the crossbar. Moments later, Barcelona delivered a lethal counterattack, with Raphinha netting his second goal of the match to make it 5-1.
The game took another turn when Wojciech Szczesny, Barcelona’s goalkeeper, was sent off after a reckless challenge on Mbappé at the edge of the penalty area. Hansi Flick substituted the inexperienced Iñaki Peña, who conceded from Rodrygo’s free-kick. Despite being a man down, Barcelona’s defensive resilience ensured the final score remained 5-2.
