Real Madrid is facing Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup match.
The game started better for the "Whites," with Kylian Mbappé opening the scoring on the 5th minute. The Frenchman, after a pass from Vinícius, dribbled past the defender and scored his first goal in El Clásico.
However, it seems that was all for Real Madrid. Barcelona looked much sharper near the opposition's goal, and before halftime, they responded with four goals. Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Alejandro Balde scored, while Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty.
Interestingly, in the last 90 minutes against Barcelona, Real Madrid conceded a total of 8 goals: 4 in the first half of today’s match and 4 in the second half of the previous La Liga game.
Additionally, Barcelona scored four goals in the first half against Real Madrid for the first time in 82 years. The last time this happened was on January 10, 1943, when the score was 4-2 at halftime, and the match ended in a 5-5 draw.
