Barcelona win Super Cup again

This is Barcelona 16th Super Cup title. Record number. Real Madrid have 13 titles.
Frenkie de Jong get red card in stoppage time but Barcelona hold on to win.
My thoughts
What a El Clasico this was. Five goals total. So much drama.
Raphinha was man of match. Two goals from him. He save Barcelona.
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso under pressure. They lose final again to Barcelona. This not good for him.
Barcelona now lead La Liga by four points. They having amazing season so far.
