FC Barcelona successfully defended their Spanish Supercopa crown after edging Real Madrid 3-2 in a pulsating final staged at King Abdullah Sports City. A decisive brace from Raphinha proved the difference on a dramatic night that once again delivered the intensity and spectacle of El Clásico.
Raphinha Sets the Tone
Barcelona started the final with confidence and purpose, pressing high and moving the ball sharply. Their dominance was rewarded in the 36th minute when Raphinha opened the scoring, finishing clinically to put Barça ahead. The goal reflected Barcelona’s control and attacking intent under new head coach Hansi Flick.
Lewandowski Strikes Before the Break
Just before halftime, Barcelona doubled their advantage. Robert Lewandowski rose highest to head home a crucial second goal, seemingly putting the Catalans in full control. However, Real Madrid responded immediately, setting up a thrilling end to the first half.
Madrid Fight Back
Los Blancos refused to go quietly. Vinícius Júnior pulled one back, injecting belief into Madrid’s ranks, before Gonzalo García struck to level the contest late in the first half. The momentum briefly swung Madrid’s way as the final headed into the break finely balanced at 2-2.
Raphinha Delivers the Winner
The second half remained tense and evenly contested, but it was Raphinha who delivered the decisive moment. In the 73rd minute, his deflected strike found the back of the net, completing his brace and restoring Barcelona’s lead. The goal ultimately proved to be the winner in a fiercely contested final.
Heroics at the Back
Barcelona’s victory was sealed by a crucial contribution at the other end of the pitch. Young goalkeeper Joan García produced an outstanding double save to deny Madrid a late equaliser, preserving Barcelona’s narrow advantage and underlining the composure of Flick’s side in high-pressure moments.
Raphinha Praises Flick’s Impact
After the final whistle, Raphinha was full of praise for his coach, crediting Hansi Flick for transforming his role and confidence within the team. The winger stated that Flick made him feel vital, describing the coach’s influence as “changing everything at the club”—a sentiment reflected in Barcelona’s unbeaten record in finals under his guidance.
What the Win Means for Barcelona
This 3-2 victory not only secures another Spanish Supercopa title but also reinforces Barcelona’s belief in Flick’s project. Beating Real Madrid in a final adds further momentum as the season progresses and sends a strong message to domestic and European rivals.
Final Word
Raphinha’s brilliance, Lewandowski’s presence, and Barcelona’s resilience combined to deliver another memorable El Clásico final. With silverware secured and confidence soaring, Barcelona’s Supercopa success may prove a defining moment in their season.
