The first trophy of 2025. The first trophy of the Hansi Flick era. The first senior club trophy for Lamine Yamal. A record fifteenth Spanish Super Cup trophy.
But more than any of that, it was won by scoring 5 (five!) goals against none other than Real Madrid!
The players had been saying before the game that they knew how to hurt their biggest rival. They’d already shown that when they beat them 4-0 at the Bernabéu in the league, and tonight they showed us again in Saudi Arabia!
Barça fans worldwide could relax and start rejoicing. The Super Cup was coming back on the plane to Catalonia, and the man who did the job of collecting it was Marc-Andre ter Stegen. A lovely touch to end a lovely night. Cue We are the Champions... and Força Barça!!!!
