Raphinha Strikes Again as Barcelona Beat Real Madrid in a Wild Supercopa Final
Good evening, everyone. We are talking tonight about another unforgettable chapter in one of football’s greatest rivalries. Barcelona versus Real Madrid. And once again, it delivered drama, goals and a familiar hero in a decisive moment.
In Saudi Arabia, under the bright lights of the Supercopa de España final, Barcelona edged Real Madrid by three goals to two. It was fast, intense and emotionally charged from start to finish. But when the final whistle blew, it was Barça lifting the trophy, their 16th Supercopa title and extending their lead as the most successful club in the competition’s history.
At the center of this story was Raphinha. The Brazilian winger has quietly become one of Real Madrid’s biggest nightmares. Every time these two teams meet, he seems to show up. And in this final, he didn’t just show up. He decided it.

Barcelona started with confidence and control, moving the ball with purpose and pressing high. Raphinha opened the scoring in the first half with a powerful finish that set the tone. But as always in El Clásico, the response came quickly. Real Madrid hit back through Vinícius Júnior, who reminded everyone of his individual brilliance with a sharp equalizer.
The first half turned chaotic in the best possible way. Barcelona regained the lead through Robert Lewandowski, only for Madrid to strike again just before the break from a set piece. Two-two at halftime and everything still up for grabs.
The second half was more tense. Fewer clear chances. More fouls. More arguments. You could feel the pressure building with every minute. And then, once again, Raphinha stepped forward. A shot from outside the box, a slight deflection and the ball ended up in the back of the net. Three-two Barcelona. And this time, they did not let go.
Even after going down to ten men late in the match, Barcelona stayed composed. They slowed the game, kept possession and forced Real Madrid into frustration. The final whistle confirmed it. Another Clásico victory. Another trophy. And another reminder of how important Raphinha has become under Hansi Flick.
This win is about more than a cup. It reinforces Barcelona’s momentum this season. It adds pressure on Real Madrid. And it fuels a rivalry that never stops evolving.
That’s the latest from this dramatic Supercopa final. A night of football that lived up to its name and a player who once again made the difference when it mattered most.
