Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3–2 in the Spanish Super Cup final, but they did not finish the match at full strength. Frenkie de Jong was sent off.
Details: As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Dutch midfielder is set to receive a one-match suspension. De Jong will serve the ban in the Copa del Rey and will therefore miss Barcelona’s upcoming match against Racing Santander, scheduled for Thursday, January 15.
The moment that led to Frenkie de Jong’s dismissal occurred in the closing minutes of the match, when he made a dangerous challenge on Kylian Mbappé.
A controversial moment also occurred during the trophy presentation ceremony. Real Madrid players refused to line up in a guard of honour for their Barcelona rivals.
Reminder: Real Madrid could have taken the match to a penalty shootout, but squandered two incredible chances late on and ultimately lost to Barcelona in the Super Cup final.
