Catalans outclass reigning European champions 5-2 in battle of Spanish giants to earn domestic bragging rights
- AGENCIES

Barcelona produced a stunning first-half display to beat Real Madrid 5-2 in the final of the Spanish Supercup. Hansi Flick's side led 4-1 at the break and despite seeing goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sent off for bringing down Kylian Mbappe early in the second half, they were able to hold on with relative ease against the Madrid attack on Monday (Indian time).

Things looked to be going Madrid's way when goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois pulled off two stunning saves in the opening minutes from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha before Mbappe put Madrid ahead in the fifth minute. A Barca attack broke down with Vinicius feeding the ball to the Frenchman, who produced a powerful run from deep, held off the defender and scored with his right foot.
