Real Madrid missed the opportunity to win the Spanish Super Cup, falling 3-2 to Barcelona in a thrilling match.
The first half ended 2-2 after three goals were scored in stoppage time. Raphinha netted the decisive goal midway through the second half with a deflected shot. Although Frenkie de Jong received a red card late in the game, Los Blancos were unable to level the score.
In the 70th minute, it seemed like Barcelona was set to take a 3-2 lead. Lamine Yamal received a pass from Jules Koundé but shot directly at Courtois, who deflected it away. Shortly after, Barcelona did manage to score, albeit by chance. Raphina lost his footing while taking a shot from the edge of the box, causing it to deflect off Raul Asencio and into the net.
