(WATCH) Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha put Barcelona in Supercup control
Yesterday at 02:49 PM
Barcelona head in at half time with a 3-1 Spanish Supercup final lead over Real Madrid after a chaotic first 45 minutes in Jeddah.
Neutrals have been treated to an outrageous first half in Saudi Arabia with four goals split between the El Clasico rivals.
Kylian Mbappe get the ball rolling for Real Madrid inside the opening five minutes as he finished off a pulsating counter attack for the defending champions.
However, the Barcelona response was swift and ruthless, as Lamine Yamal darted in off the right wing to curl the Catalans level.
That tipped the balance of the contest as Robert Lewandowski kept his cool to fire La Blaurgana ahead from the penalty spot on 36 minutes.
