Real Madrid started the match strongly. In the 5th minute, Mbappe scored from a penalty. Then in the 14th minute, he scored again after getting past the Barca defense and goalkeeper Sezni. Real Madrid were ahead 2-0, and it looked like they were in control.
But that changed quickly. Barcelona fought back strongly, showing why they are league champions.
Barcelona’s Amazing Comeback
First-Half Magic by Barca
Barcelona started their comeback in the 19th minute. Eric Garcia scored a brilliant goal to make it 2-1. Then, in the 32nd minute, young star Lamine Yamal scored an amazing goal. Ferran Torres passed the ball to him, and Yamal hit a beautiful left-footed shot from the edge of the box.
Just two minutes later, Rafinha took advantage of a mistake by Real’s defenders and scored again. Barcelona were now leading 3-2.
In the 45th minute, Rafinha scored once more. Real Madrid defenders made another mistake, and Rafinha passed the ball to Ferran Torres. Torres gave it back, and Rafinha hit the net with a great shot. By halftime, Barcelona were winning 4-2.
Mbappe thought he scored just before halftime, but VAR cancelled his goal due to offside. He also had a penalty shout, but the referee changed the decision after checking VAR.
Mbappe’s Hat-Trick Not Enough
In the second half, only one goal was scored. In the 70th minute, Vinicius Junior got the ball in open space. He moved forward and passed it to Mbappe instead of taking the shot himself. Mbappe scored easily and completed his hat-trick.
But that was not enough. Real Madrid could not find another goal. Barcelona’s defense stayed strong for the rest of the game. The match ended 4-3 in favor of Barcelona.
