The Spanish Super Cup final between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona left an indelible mark with memorable moments captured by Movistar+ cameras. Vinicius Jr ridiculed Xavi Hernandez’s men with a hat-trick, Toni Kroos smiled in the face of the whistles, and Lewandowski’s “Polish provocation” fueled the discussions.
Real Madrid defeated FC Barcelona 4-1 on Sunday evening in Riyadh in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Thanks to a hat-trick from Vinicius Jr and a goal from Rodrygo, the club from the Spanish capital won the title. But during the match, Real Madrid’s number 7 did “Gérard Piqué” by gesturing towards the opposing bench with the result in his hand. The irony and rivalry were palpable on the field.
Constantly whistled by the Saudi public, Toni Kroos smiled during his replacement. But what was undeniable was the confidence shown by Carlo Ancelotti’s players who put Barça in great difficulty.
Lewandowski’s Polish provocation towards Vinicius
The action that caught the attention of many was the provocation of Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona striker, towards the man of the match, Vinicius Jr. While the Brazilian was preparing to take a penalty, the Pole approached of Real Madrid’s number 7 to distract him in fairly broken Spanish.
The images were captured by Movistar+ cameras. It is not known whether the language barrier prevented Lewandowski from being able to convey his idea to the Madrid player. Nor does anyone know if what he said to her was what he meant. The Pole went to Vinicius and asked him: “Are you taking the penalty? ”, to which the Brazilian replied: “Of course. » Lewandowski adds: “Take it then”. For Jorge Valdano, this action is a “Polish provocation”.
Vinicius extinguishes Lewandowski and Barça
The match perfectly reflected the face of the two teams: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. On the one hand, a team which this season has decided to do everything possible to play football with very few errors up front and behind. On the other hand, Barça which cannot find its way, which has taken a step or two back since last year, a year in which it won the LALIGA and the Super Cup and was supposed to dominate football Spanish for longer.
Vinicius Jr, always criticized for his lack of goals, scored a hat-trick in 39 minutes in an entire final against the eternal rival. This was a real headache for Xavi Hernandez’s defense. Jules Koundé was disturbed and Ronald Araujo ended up being sent off after two fouls on… the unstoppable Vinicius Jr.
The Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski, of course also scored a very good goal. Perhaps a reminder of what the striker has always been and what he has done with Bayern Munich. It’s a nice goal, but it didn’t help Barça win this Spanish Super Cup final. That’s the only thing he did, his teammates couldn’t find him the whole game. After the final whistle, Lewandowski was disgusted with the defeat and wrote on social media: “This is not an acceptable result. Deepest apologies to all the culers.” it has the merit of being clear, FC Barcelona has a problem and with this new defeat, Xavi Hernandez is more than in the hot seat.
