As It Happened
The final was played in Saudi Arabia, a neutral venue for both teams. Both teams were aggressive from the start, but Vinicius Junior posed a real threat to Barcelona, consistently breaking down the defense. However, it was Barcelona who broke the deadlock first when Raphinha scored a brilliant goal in the 36th minute with an assist from Farmin Lopez. Real Madrid went crazy after conceding the goal, and what happened in the following minutes was complete madness at Kind Abdul Aziz Stadium. The extra time of the first half saw three goals in just 10 minutes. It was Vinicius Junior who first leveled the scoreline for Real Madrid. He found the equalizer with an outstanding solo goal, defeating four defenders. But Robert Lewandowski put Barcelona ahead once again with a goal in 45+4 minutes. Guess what? Real Madrid refused to give up and leveled the scoreline once again as Gonzalo Garcia scored the second goal for the Los Blancos. As a result, the first half ended in a 2-2 tie. Coming from the break, the two sides were desperate to score. Both teams also had some good chances, but Barcelona capitalized on one of them when Raphinha found the back of the net in the 73rd minute, making the scoreline 3-2. Real Madrid, however, tried their best but failed to break Barca's defense in the second half. As a result, Hansi Flick won another trophy with Barcelona, which came against their biggest rival, Real Madrid. Barca boss Hansi Flick praises Raphinha for his two important goals in the final. The manager said, "His mentality is unbelievable; his dynamic affects the whole team. He missed the first chance but the second one, he was there and (scored) the first goal, and it gave the team more confidence. This is what Raphinha brings on the pitch, it’s a lot of intensity and we need this."Related reading
