FC Barcelona has once again defeated Real Madrid on a forgettable night for the Whites. In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, held on January 11, 2025, the Blaugrana team clinched the title with a convincing 2-5 victory in a match that left more shadows than lights for the Madrid squad. The result not only highlights the good moment of the team led by Hansi Flick but also the deficiencies of a Madrid side that seems to have lost its way.

The 3 singled out from Real Madrid.

The defensive performance of the White's team was undoubtedly one of the most criticized aspects after the match. Aurélien Tchouaméni had a disastrous night, making serious mistakes in the defense that resulted in goals for Barcelona. His errors in ball distribution and lack of strength in crucial plays exposed a defense unable to contain the Blaugrana's attack rhythm. Meanwhile, Lucas Vázquez also fell short of the match's demands. His defensive display was highly questionable, allowing too many opportunities in his area and contributing to the general disorder in the backline.

On the offensive side, the notable absence was the figure of Vinícius Jr. It was expected that the Brazilian would lead the team in tough moments, but his involvement was discreet and lacked impact. With unclear ideas and consistent mistakes in the final third, Vinícius failed to make a difference, leaving the team without a reference point to counter Barcelona's effectiveness.

Conversely, the Catalan side exhibited a vastly superior version in all facets of the game. Their tactically well-defined and executed strategy dismantled a Real Madrid that could not find answers. The Blaugrana not only showed greater organization and cohesion but also a strength that allowed them to capitalize on the opponent's mistakes.

The defeat leaves the Whites immersed in a sporting crisis with no apparent end. Criticisms towards Carlo Ancelotti and some of his players are escalating, and the patience of the board is wearing thin. With the club caught in a negative spiral, the Spanish Super Cup has not only been a missed opportunity but also a reminder of the profound adjustments needed for the team to compete again at the highest level.
