One goal and two assists.
Javi had a hand in everything when Barcelona took home the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid.
The Catalans won 3-1.
Barcelona is the Spanish Super Cup champion for the fourteenth time.
The team won the final El Clasico against Real Madrid in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 3-1.
The super talented 18-year-old Javi opened the scoring in the 34th minute after being assisted by star striker Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona had previously made several requests for a key goal – Lewandowski hit the post and Alejandro Balde burned an open position.
“totally repels”
It was 2-0 up just before the break – and it was the same duo who fell behind again.
Gavi found his way to Lewandowski behind the Real Madrid defense after Eder Militao moved away. Pole made no mistakes and put the ball into the net.
– Incredible gamble by Militao, who jumped into the middle of the field. He’s totally pushing himself too far, says expert Kali Carlson on the Sportbladet broadcast.
involved in everything
Real Madrid never came close to their worst rivals, who continued to create dangerous situations.
Outstanding player Thibaut Courtois was away from extending the lead when Ousmane Dembele was brought on after a one-man performance from full-back Balde.
But the 3-0 would come at the end and Gavi would play a part in that goal as well.
The midfielder received the ball from the left – deceptively – and sent it towards Pedri, who ended up in an empty net.
Karim Benzema scored the consolation goal in stoppage time in the match that ended 3-1 against Barcelona, who claimed their first Super Cup title since 2018.
