Barcelona beat Real Madrid in El Clasico to retain Spanish Super Cup

Barcelona Claim Spanish Super Cup Glory with Thrilling 3-2 Win Over Real Madrid

In an electrifying Saudi Arabian evening, Barcelona edged past bitter rivals Real Madrid 3-2 in the highly anticipated Spanish Super Cup final, handing coach Hansi Flick's team a record-extending 16th triumph. Raphinha starred with two goals, including a crucial deflected effort late on, to secure the victory.

The match got off to a scrappy start as Barcelona kept possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances against Madrid's deep-sitting defense. However, Brazilian winger Raphinha finally broke the deadlock just past the hour mark, sending his shot powerfully into the bottom corner from inside the area.

Real Madrid responded through Vinicius Junior's stunning individual goal, which nutmegged Barcelona defender Jules Kounde before slotting past goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Gonzalo Garcia equalized for Madrid in stoppage time, as Barcelona struggled to cope with the sudden surge in momentum.

Despite being level at the break, Barcelona regained control in the second half and restored their lead just five minutes after the interval through Robert Lewandowski's well-placed chip over Barca goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. However, Madrid once again equalized, this time courtesy of Garcia's clinical finish from a Dean Huijsen header.

The match hung in the balance until late on when Raphinha's deflected shot found its way past Courtois and into the net, sending Barcelona fans into raptures. The victory marked Flick's side's fourth triumph over Madrid in six meetings last season and sets them up for a strong La Liga push.

For Real Madrid, coach Xabi Alonso will be left to ponder what might have been, particularly with French superstar Kylian Mbappe missing the match due to a knee injury sustained in the semifinals. Despite being outgunned at times, Madrid showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately fell short against Barcelona's well-oiled machine.

In contrast, Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong was sent off late on for a high lunge on Mbappe, but his side remained undeterred, as they celebrated their 16th Spanish Super Cup title in style.

Forget about it! πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ But, you have to give credit to Flick and his team for staying calm under pressure.

And can we talk about Raphinha's deflected shot? 😲 I mean, that was one of the most incredible goals I've ever seen. It's like he had a direct hotline to the net πŸ“ž! Anyway, this win is huge for Barca and sets them up for an amazing season ahead πŸ’ͺ. Bring on La Liga! πŸ‘Š

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this game 🀯... So basically Barcelona just outplayed Real Madrid and got lucky with some deflected shots πŸ€πŸ˜…. I mean, Raphinha is a beast on the field though! He's like a superhero or something πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ. But for real, Real Madrid had some awesome moments too, especially that Vinicius Junior goal was insane πŸ’₯... And what's up with all the substitutions? It felt like every single player came off and back on πŸ”„.
 
OMG this is AMAZING!!! 🀩 Barcelona totally deserved that win! Raphinha was on FIRE πŸ”₯ and Lewandowski's chip was pure magic ✨ I'm so happy for Hansi Flick and the squad, they played like a well-oiled machine πŸ’ͺ And Real Madrid showed some serious skill too, Vinicius Junior's goal was SO COOL 😎 Can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds! 🀩
 
🀯 OMG I'm literally still reeling from that match!!! Barcelona's win is EVERYTHING and more! 🌟 Raphinha was on FIRE πŸ”₯ with those two goals, including that insane deflected effort at the end... I mean, what can you say?! πŸ˜† And Lewandowski's chip just sealed the deal for me. πŸ’ͺ Flick's team played so smart and composed throughout the whole game, I was on the edge of my seat! πŸŽ‰ Real Madrid showed flashes of brilliance, but that defense just couldn't keep up with Barcelona's attack. πŸ˜… And can we talk about Raphinha's celebration?! πŸ˜‚ It was like he was trying to will the whole stadium into ecstasy. 🌈
 
😊 so i think barcelona really played some smart football to win this super cup final against real madrid - like raphinha was unplayable for most of the game and that deflected goal he scored late on was pure magic πŸ’«. but at the same time, real madrid had some great moments too, especially vinicius junior's goal was insane 😲.

i think barcelona's defence was a bit shaky at times, especially when madrid equalized twice, but they managed to stay calm and composed in the second half which paid off in the end. and robert lewandowski's goal was so well-placed, it showed just how clinical barca can be when it matters most.

real madrid will definitely be feeling disappointed, but you can't blame them for wanting to beat their arch-rivals barca - especially with kylian mbappe out injured. still, xabi alonso's side will have to regroup and come back stronger next season 🀞. all in all, it was a thrilling match that had everyone on the edge of their seats πŸ’₯.
 
OMG, what a match!!! 😱 I'm beyond thrilled for Barca, Raphinha is literally a god 🀯! How did he even score that deflected goal tho? πŸ€” Anyway, it's not like Real Madrid didn't deserve to win, they had some seriously sick chances too 🀩. But in the end, Barcelona just clicked and got the job done πŸ’ͺ. And that Lewandowski chip was πŸ”₯ I'm loving this team's vibe right now πŸ’•! They're gonna be so tough to beat this season πŸ‘Š
 
man this spanish super cup final was crazy!!! barcelona played like total legends raphinha's goals were insane especially that deflected one at the end which gave me chills 🀯 i'm so glad they won it for hansi flick and co, 16th title is a big deal. real madrid had some great moments too but their defense was all over the place, vinicius junior's goal was ridiculous. can't believe kylian mbappe missed that match tho πŸ’” frenkie de jong getting sent off late on wasnt a big issue for barcelona tho, they still won comfortably. anyway, i'm hyped to see how the rest of la liga unfolds now 🀩
 
man what a game 😩 I'm still trying to process the ebb and flow of emotions that came with it from one team's euphoria to another's despair. for barca fans like me its all about celebrating those late-game heroics from raphinha & Lewandowski, but you can't help but think about what could've been if real madrid had capitalized on their clear chances πŸ€” and how does that affect the narrative of this season? meanwhile, i feel bad for xabi alonso's squad, gotta wonder what a healthy kylian mbappe would've brought to that pitch πŸ’” still, gotta give props to barca's well-oiled machine πŸ‘
