Barcelona hammered rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in a wild Spanish Super Cup Clasico final in Saudi Arabia on Jan 12 to win the first trophy of the Hansi Flick era.

'Calm' Barca lift Super Cup after Real cave in

Kylian Mbappe put Real ahead but a dominant Barcelona hit five in response before their goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off in the second half at King Abdullah Sports City.

"It's really nice. It had been a season since we won a trophy. It's always special and, on top of that, in a Clasico against Real Madrid," Barcelona defender Jules Kounde told Movistar.

"We had a lot of calm and patience... Right after the red card, we got together and said we were going to have to suffer, sit back, but we had a big advantage and this can't escape us."

Real were hoping to avenge their 4-0 home defeat by Barcelona in October's La Liga Clasico but instead were left battered and bruised by their rivals in Jeddah.
