The first title of the season in Spain belongs to Barcelona.
In Riad, Saudi Arabia (where the Italian Super Cup between Milan and Inter will also be played on Wednesday) in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, the Blaugrana beat Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid: the final result 3-1.
It was Gavi who gave Barcelona the lead in the 33rd minute of the first half;
just before the break comes the doubling with Lewandowski.
Ancelotti ran for cover and in the second half introduced Rodrygo and then Asensio too for a front-wheel drive Real, but the result was another Barça goal, in the 24th minute, through Pedri.
Only in added time, in the 48th minute, did Benzema score.
For Xavi it is the first title as Barcelona coach since his arrival in November 2021, after he had won everything as a player with the Blaugrana shirt.
