Real Madrid and Barcelona renew their rivalry in Riyadh as they face off in the Supercopa de Espana final.Real beat Valencia with Barcelona overcoming Real ...
If a single play could sum up Real's miserable night, that's the one. On Gavi's performance: “He is a competitive animal, super young, at this age most players are still playing in the youth team. Ancelotti sending on Rodrygo for Camavinga at half-time was both an admission that he got his XI wrong, and that Madrid needed something very different at 0-2 down. Next month they have to travel again to Morocco for the Club World Cup, just before their Champions League round of 16 tie with Liverpool. Throughout the game, Barca were just sharper both mentally and physically, winning their individual battles. And, for Barca’s second and third goals, Xavi’s side were able to raid Madrid’s right flank to ensure the Supercopa was theirs. He played a part in all three Barca goals. There are not many players who can say they have played five Clasicos at just 18 years of age, but Gavi showed once again he is more than capable on this stage. A trophy victory, in a Clasico against Madrid, will significantly strengthen Xavi’s position everywhere — with his players, with his president and with the fans. But now Xavi can point to a big win, and one in which his own tactical acumen was crucial. Most obviously, the former playmaker now has his first trophy as Barca coach. [Gavi](https://theathletic.com/football/player/gavi-9ACowrmXJKJKTUi5/) opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, slotting home a lovely pass from Lewandowski.

Follow all the Spanish Super Cup action from Riyadh as Madrid and Barça battle it out for the first title of 2023.
The Spanish FA are under pressure from many quarters over the hosting of the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. A chance from the man from Terrassa to claim his first silverware for FC Barcelona as a coach tonight. The Italian coach offered his thoughts pre-game: “All trophies are important, they build confidence, motivate and spur players on to keep doing well. In June 2021, the Spanish Federation agreed a deal that could earn them between €240 million and €320 million to have Saudi Arabia host the tournament until 2029. No major surprises from Xavi in his selection process for the final. Title number three will be played for in early February as Morocco hosts the FIFA Club World Cup. Gerard Piqué hasn’t had an especially great time of things of late but there is at least some good news for him coming from the Spanish Super Cup. De Jong does well jinjing at the edge of the box and sees his shot blocked. Balde rushes the follow up and blazes over. This question may have a clearer answer after Thursday night as they travel to Villarreal in the Copa del Rey. Way too easy for Barcelona as Militao and Carvajal leave acres of space... Frenkie de Jong saw his team mate ghost into the empty space behind Carvajal and delivered a superb ball through.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Catch the live score and updates from the Supercopa de Espana final at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.
The ball is played in from the left side. Real Madrid in whites and Barcelona in red and blue stripes. The referee waives play on but Barcelona is interested in taking the free kick. The ball rolls to Kounde on the right and he flashes a shot at the goal. Courtois saves but the ball ricochets to the left post. Barcelona again builds a neat move in the final third and the ball ends up with Lewa. Courtois comes out of his line to stop the ball and wins it in the air. Dembele crosses the ball from the final third, presumably for Lewa but the striker is still not quite in position and the ball is cleared without any danger. They make it into the penalty area but the Barcelona defence is able to nick the ball just in time. It has been compact in defence and has retained the ball well. It is in Benzema’s range but Garcia reaches the ball first and clears it for a corner. Barcelona in control of the ball.
GOAL, Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona (Benzema 90+3'): Madrid get a goal back as Benzema scores on the rebound of a Ter Stegen save, but it's too little too late now.
Real Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (Gavi 33’): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD!!! Real Madrid 0-2 Barcelona (Lewandowski 45’): BARÇA DOUBLE THE LEAD!!! Sergio Busquets wins the ball up the pitch and Barça move it very quickly as Pedri finds Robert Lewandowski who puts it on a plate inside the box for Gavi to smash it home! Real Madrid 0-3 Barcelona (Pedri 69’): IT’S THREE!!! A huge goal right before halftime as Frenkie De Jong makes a great pass to release Gavi, who shows great poise and waits for the right moment to give Lewandowski a tap-in! FULL-TIME, Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona: A fantastic performance from a Barça team that wanted it more and outplayed Real Madrid for almost all of El Clásico.
