(WATCH) Raphinha fires Barcelona with a 5-1 lead in the Super Cup

Barcelona have picked up where they left off in the second half of the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.

An incredible first half from the Blaugrana saw them take a 4-1 lead at half-time as their counterattack ripped through Real Madrid again and again.

Despite the setback of an early Kylian Mbappé goal, Barcelona have been relentless in Jeddah, with Lamine Yamal equalizing for Hansi Flick’s side.

That tipped the tie for Flick when Robert Lewandowski scored from the penalty spot and Raphinha produced a brilliant header at the back post.

However, there was no stopping Barcelona either side of half-time, as Alejandro Balde pulled away to score his fourth goal of the night, and Raphinha got his second of the game in the 48th minute.
