Barça Crushes Madrid in a Stunning Display in Jeddah
Jeddah, January 12, 2025 – FC Barcelona claimed the Spanish Super Cup in spectacular fashion, delivering a resounding 5-2 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid on Sunday. The match, held in Jeddah, saw an outstanding performance from Lamine Yamal, who scored a sensational goal to mark Barcelona’s dominance.
A Fast Start from Real Madrid
Real Madrid took an early lead as Kylian Mbappé found the net just five minutes into the game. However, that advantage was short-lived as Barcelona responded with a relentless attacking display, leaving the defending champions stunned.
Barcelona’s Five-Goal Barrage
The Catalans turned the game around with an explosive 36-minute scoring spree, leaving Madrid with no room to recover. The goals came in quick succession:
- Lamine Yamal (22′) – The young sensation showcased his brilliance with a superb strike.
- Robert Lewandowski (36′, Penalty) – The Polish forward confidently converted from the spot.
- Raphinha (39′, 48′) – The Brazilian winger scored twice, adding to Madrid’s misery.
- Alejandro Baldé (45’+10′) – Just before halftime, Baldé extended the lead to 5-1.
Madrid’s Late Effort Falls Short
Barcelona’s dominance continued into the second half, despite a turning point in the 60th minute when goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny was sent off for bringing down Mbappé outside the box. This led to Rodrygo pulling one back for Madrid with a well-placed free kick. However, despite their efforts, Los Blancos couldn’t mount a comeback, and Barcelona comfortably held on to their lead.
A Statement Victory for Barcelona
This emphatic victory marks a huge statement from Xavi’s side, proving their superiority over their bitter rivals. With Lamine Yamal’s brilliance, a dominant attacking force, and a rock-solid team performance, Barcelona lifts the Spanish Super Cup in style.
