WHAT A MATCH THIS WAS LAST NIGHT! A VERITABLE FEAST OF FOOTBALLING SUPERSTARS, PLAYING FOR THESE TWO GOLIATH TEAMS IN THE SPANISH SUPER CUP FINAL! BARCELONA MADE 565 PASSES, WITH A 93% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 5 CORNERS, (71% POSSESSION), AND 14 SHOTS, WITH 8 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM RAPHINHA WHO OPENED PROCEEDINGS WITH HIS FIRST GOAL AT 36 MINS. THEN IT WAS OVER TO REAL MADRID’S VINICIUS JUNIOR TO SCORE SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AT 45 +2 MINS., AND THEN BACK TO BARCELONA’S ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI TO SCORE AT 45 + 4 MINS. THEN, ONCE AGAIN, BACK OVER TO REAL’S GONZALO GARCIA TO SCORE AT 45 + 6 MINS! PHEW! WHAT DYNAMISM WITHIN THE SPACE OF A FEW MINS! SO THEN IT WAS 2 – 2 BY HALF-TIME! REAL MADRID HAD 10 SHOTS, WITH 8 ON-TARGET, 6 CORNERS, AND MADE 262 PASSES, WITH AN 80% PASS ACCURACY, BUT NO FURTHER GOALS ON THIS OCCASION, SO IT WAS RAPHINHA’S CRACKING SECOND GOAL OF HIS BRACE WHICH WAS THE DECIDER, WHICH HE SCORED AT 73 MINS. FRENKIE DE JONG WAS GIVEN A RED CARD AT 90 + 1 MINS., (WHICH SOME SAY WAS A BIT OF A STRETCH AS IT WAS A VERY PHYSICAL MATCH, DURING WHICH ARGEY-BARGEY ABOUNDED, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF IT’S IMPORTANCE) BUT IT WAS TOO LATE-IN-THE-GAME TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT, SO, AFTER ALL THE EXCITING ACTION, THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 3 – 2 WIN TO BARCELONA, AND WITH BARCELONA LIFTING THE SUPER CUP TROPHY! (BELOW)
