Barcelona goalkeeper Szczesny sent off for foul on Mbappe in Spanish Super Cup final

Barcelona were reduced to 10 men in their Spanish Super Cup final match against Real Madrid.

In the 56th minute, with Barcelona leading 5-1, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was shown a red card for fouling Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe. Four minutes later, Real Madrid managed to pull a goal back, making the score 5-2.

The dismissal came at a crucial point in the match, with Barcelona comfortably ahead but now facing the challenge of defending their lead with a player disadvantage for over 30 minutes. Despite the setback, the Catalan side were able to maintain their advantage and secure a convincing victory in the final.

This incident highlights the importance of discipline in high-stakes matches, as Szczesny’s red card could have potentially changed the course of the game. However, Barcelona’s strong performance and substantial lead proved enough to overcome the numerical disadvantage and claim the Spanish Super Cup title.
