Barcelona Overwhelms Real Madrid 5-2 In Super Copa Final 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jan 13, 2025 2:30 am

Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-2 in the Spanish Supercopa Final in Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Kylian Mbappe scored an initial goal for Real Madrid after just five minutes, but Raphinha had a brace to go with goals from Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde.

\"I\'m really proud,\" Hansi Flick said in his post-match news conference. \"Proud for the team, the staff, the club, the fans, everyone. Today was an unbelievable match. For the coaches, not so much! But for the fans it\'s really fantastic.\"

Barcelona won the previous Clasico this season, but they have been in poor form over the past two months. 

Despite playing with 10 men for the last half hour after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was shown a red card, Barcelona\'s lead never looked under threat.
