FC Barcelona emerged victorious in the 2025 Supercopa de España, defeating Real Madrid with an emphatic 5-2 scoreline at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah. This triumph marks Barcelona's 15th Supercopa title, cementing their status as the most decorated team in the competition, now two titles ahead of their eternal rivals.

A Clásico of Comebacks and Goals

The match started in favor of Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring in the 5th minute following a swift counterattack orchestrated by Vinícius Júnior. However, Barcelona responded with a relentless offensive display:

• Lamine Yamal equalized in the 22nd minute, finishing off a precise cross from Pedri.
• A penalty conceded by Eduardo Camavinga on Gavi allowed Robert Lewandowski to convert and make it 2-1 in the 36th minute.
• Just three minutes later, Raphinha scored after an assist from Frenkie de Jong, extending the lead to 3-1.
• Before halftime, Alejandro Balde added the fourth goal following a flawless counterattack.

In the second half, Raphinha secured his brace in the 48th minute, pushing the score to 5-1. Although Rodrygo scored a consolation goal in the 67th minute, the 56th-minute red card for Wojciech Szczesny left Real Madrid with little chance of a comeback.

Hansi Flick Claims His First Title with Barcelona

This victory represents Hansi Flick's first trophy as Barcelona’s head coach. The German tactician has successfully balanced the squad, combining the brilliance of young stars like Lamine Yamal with the experience of veterans such as Robert Lewandowski.

After winning both the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, Real Madrid suffered their first defeat in a final this season. With a packed schedule ahead, Carlo Ancelotti's team will need to regroup quickly to stay competitive in other major tournaments.
