(LOOK) Kylian Mbappé gives Real Madrid an advantage in the Super Cup over Barcelona

Real Madrid took the lead in the first four minutes of the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona in Jeddah.

The opening of the contest has lived up to its pre-match billboard, with opportunities at both ends of the King Abdullah Sports City stadium.

Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was called into action after 90 seconds, deflecting a shot from Lamine Yamal, before the Belgian made an even better save from Raphinha’s header.

However, the pendulum immediately swung in Real Madrid’s favor just seconds later when Kylian Mbappé launched a counterattack to put them in front.

Real Madrid intends to defend its crown from 2024 and win its fourteenth Spanish Super Cup title, but Barcelona seems willing to fight until the end.

Barcelona secured their place in the final with a 2-0 semi-final victory over Athletic Club and Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0.
