Barcelona goes into half-time with a 4-1 lead in the Spanish Super Cup final over Real Madrid after a chaotic first 45 minutes in Jeddah.

The neutrals enjoyed a scandalous first half in Saudi Arabia, with four goals split between the El Clásico rivals.

Kylian Mbappé got the ball rolling for Real Madrid in the first five minutes and finished off a pulsating counterattack for the defending champions.

However, Barcelona’s response was quick and ruthless, when Lamine Yamal launched himself down the right wing to equalize the Catalans.

That tipped the balance of the match, as Robert Lewandowski stayed calm and put La Blaurgana ahead from the penalty spot in the 36th minute.

With Real Madrid reeling from the setback, Barcelona dealt a lethal blow before the break, when Raphinha latched onto Jules Kounde’s back post cross to head them into a two-goal lead on a crazy night.

Things looked even better for Barcelona after nine minutes of added time when Alejandro Balde scored his first goal in 12 months.
