Real Madrid didn't care in the Spanish Super Cup final against arch-rivals Barcelona. Real has surrendered to Barcelona at the King Fahd Stadium in Saudi Arabia. The match did not have the traditional excitement of El Clasico.

Although it was not clear at the beginning of the match that the game was going to be one-sided. It seemed that there would be a bloody fight. Although Real had the upper hand in possession, it was the Catalans who looked apprehensive in attack. In the 13th minute of the match, Lewandowski narrowly missed a goal. His shot from just outside the D-box deflected off Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and hit the post. Then Alejandro Bald's return shot also missed the target.

After that, Real got a chance, Los Blancos had a chance to go ahead in the 19th minute. However, Karim Benzema's header narrowly missed the net. Then both teams started playing in their natural rhythm. Barca were in control of the match but Real were trying to wear down Xavi's side with every attack. Both the teams trying hard for the goal added to the excitement of the match.

Barca took the lead in the 33rd minute of the match as a result of a series of attacks. Real defense missed the ball and Lewandowski extended the pass to Gavi. This young Turk did not make a mistake after receiving the ball. The 18-year-old midfielder put the team ahead with a perfect finish.

Real tried to wake up after scoring a goal. Ancelotti's team continued to attack the Barca defense one after another, but they did not see the desired goal. On the contrary, in the moment before the break, Barca's 1st goal pair's work was seen again. Leva scored from Gavi's pass in this journey.

But Frankie de Jong has a role in this goal, Gavi gave the ball to Lewandowski after catching a great pass. Just like the 1st goal, Real's defense made a mistake in this goal. As a result, Real fell far behind the match in the first half.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti picked up Kamavinga and dropped Rodrigo in an effort to return to the match after the break. But Barcelona continued to play with the same authority as in the first half. Barca could have ended the match there by scoring the third goal in the 51st minute. Ousmane Dembele's shot was saved by Real goalkeeper Courtois as Los Blancos survived the trip.

At this time, Real could not prepare a chance to score goals. On the contrary, Barça repeatedly threatened them. Due to that, the real defense collapsed once again in the 69th minute of the match. This time too, their defensive errors were worth reading.

Real's chances of retaining the title ended before the 70th minute. Benzema-Vinicius couldn't turn around even after trying. Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has turned back some of Real's great attacks.

Benzema scored 1 goal for Real in the end, but by then what was meant to be was done. Therefore, the goal can be a consolation for Real.

At the final whistle, Barcelona tasted their first El Clasico victory of 2023. Along with that, Xavi's team also won the 1st title of the post-Messi era.
