Real Madrid suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona, highlighting defensive lapses and an uninspired performance.

Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, enduring their second consecutive Clasico loss. The match was defined by poor defending and a lack of cohesion. Barcelona capitalized on Madrid's mistakes, with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal among the standout performers.
Real Madrid's defense was easily undone, with Lucas Vazquez particularly struggling. The first goal came from Kylian Mbappe, followed by Lamine Yamal’s composed finish and a penalty from Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona’s third came after another defensive lapse, with Raphinha scoring from a free header. The Blaugrana added two more goals before Real Madrid pulled one back via a brilliant Rodrygo free-kick after Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for a foul on Mbappe.
Jude Bellingham, typically a key figure for Los Blancos, was notably absent in the game, failing to make an impact. The midfield was underwhelming, with Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde both making errors. In attack, Mbappe was the only one to shine, scoring a stunning goal and drawing the red card.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti had little to work with, as his side showed no signs of a comeback, despite playing against 10 men for the final 30 minutes. With Madrid’s defending exposed and their attack lackluster, the match was a difficult one for the Italian manager.
