The Blaugrana capitalized on some poor defending from the Blancos, resulting in a humiliating defeat for Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Real Madrid suffered a severe loss in their second consecutive Clasico, with their ongoing defensive failures leading to a 5-2 rout by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. Los Blancos were repeatedly caught out on, conceding five goals within the first 50 minutes, marking a truly dreadful Clasico performance.
The match was anything but calm or cautious. From the very beginning, chaos reigned. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring by spearheading a well-executed counter, deftly shifting the ball and firing it home. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the match for Madrid.
Lamine Yamal quickly responded for Barcelona, drifting into the right channel, cutting onto his stronger foot, and finding the bottom corner of the net. They netted a second goal in the 36th minute when Robert Lewandowski successfully converted a penalty. The Blaugrana’s third came from a lackluster Madrid defense, allowing Raphinha to find space and head the ball in unchallenged. Balde added a fourth after a careless play, with a short pass from a corner resulting in a quick break that ended with a composed finish into the corner. Raphinha capped off the rout early in the second half, skillfully maneuvering around Aurelien Tchouameni and misleading Thibaut Courtois.
