Barcelona hammered Real Madrid 5-2 in a thrilling Spanish Super Cup Clasico final in Saudi Arabia on Sunday to win the first trophy of the Hansi Flick era.
After Kylian Mbappe put Madrid ahead, Barcelona responded with five goals. Their goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off in the second half, but Madrid could not capitalize on their numerical advantage.
Following Mbappe’s opener, Lamine Yamal equalized, and Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty to put Barcelona ahead. Raphinha scored a brace, and Alejandro Balde also found the net.
Rodrygo Goes pulled one back for Madrid with a free-kick, but they couldn’t get any further, and Barcelona lifted a record-extending 15th Spanish Super Cup.
