FC Barcelona once again proved their superiority over eternal rivals Real Madrid, lifting the Spanish Super Cup after a thrilling 3-2 victory in the final. In a repeat of last season’s showdown, it was La Blaugrana who delivered when it mattered most, claiming their first title of the season.

Below are the player ratings for FC Barcelona from the Super Cup final.
Starting XI:
Joan Garcia: 8.0/10
Produced several crucial saves to keep Barcelona in control during key moments. Calm, reliable, and a decisive presence between the posts on a night that demanded concentration.
Jules Kounde: 5.5/10
Struggled defensively against Vinicius Jr and was often caught out of position. His decision-making in 1-v-1 situations was slow, which allowed Madrid to exploit his flank.
Pau Cubarsi: 6.0/10
Not at his sharpest defensively and occasionally lost his marker, but showed composure on the ball and contributed positively in distribution from the back.
Eric Garcia: 7.5/10
Delivered a strong and energetic performance. Aggressive in duels, proactive in pressing, and consistently applied pressure on Madrid’s attackers.
Alejandro Balde: 6.5/10
Provided pace on the counterattack and defensive support on the left, though his attacking influence was limited compared to his usual standards.
Frenkie de Jong: 8.5/10
An outstanding display from the Dutchman, who dictated the tempo and controlled possession with authority. His late red card slightly marred an otherwise dominant performance.
Pedri: 8.5/10
The heartbeat of Barcelona’s midfield. Calm, composed, and intelligent in possession, Pedri also delivered a superb assist for Lewandowski’s goal.
Lamine Yamal: 7.5/10
Quiet early on but grew into the match as it progressed. Improved significantly in the second half, contributing creatively and linking play effectively.
Fermin Lopez: 7.0/10
Provided a key assist for Raphinha’s opening goal. However, he was mostly invisible in the first half and was limited by the way Real Madrid were playing.

Barcelona’s standout performer. Scored a sensational solo goal and followed it up with a second that ultimately decided the game. A decisive and match-winning display.

Dani Olmo: 7.5/10
Made an immediate impact after coming on, offering better link-up play and fluidity in attack. A clear upgrade in the second half.
Ferran Torres: 6.0/10
Worked hard defensively and pressed well, but lacked sharpness in the final third and made a few poor decisions.
Gerard Martin: 6.0/10
A solid and composed cameo, providing defensive stability late in the match.
Marcus Rashford: 6.5/10
Showed pace and directness off the bench, but missed a clear opportunity that could have sealed the game for Barça.

Introduced too late to have a meaningful impact on the game.
