Barcelona’s emphatic 5-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final has ignited a wave of euphoria at the Nou Camp. The resounding triumph over their arch-rivals has left the squad and coaching staff, led by Hansi Flick, brimming with excitement.
As the final whistle blew, substitutes flooded onto the pitch to join their teammates in jubilant celebrations. According to Marca, several heartwarming moments unfolded during the post-match festivities. A particularly touching scene was Flick sharing a warm embrace with defender Ronald Araujo. Meanwhile, defender Jules Kounde playfully teased three of his teammates during the award ceremony for the "Best Assist of the Tournament".
However, the most remarkable moment came from Raphinha. Before joining the celebrations, the Brazilian winger approached Real Madrid’s technical area to shake hands and greet each of his opponents, showcasing exemplary sportsmanship.
Barcelona fans, meanwhile, left their own indelible mark on the final. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior became a particular target for the Nou Camp crowd. The Brazilian winger endured a relatively quiet match and was substituted in the 76th minute with the score at 2-5. On at least three occasions, television cameras captured Vinicius looking dejected on the bench. Notably, every time his image appeared, the Barcelona fans responded with loud boos.
Moreover, when Vinicius’ image was shown for the third time, the fans chanted “Messi, Messi” to taunt the 24-year-old and pay tribute to Barcelona’s legendary forward.
Sharing Vinicius’ fate was Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, who was met with boos and protests whenever he appeared on the screen. In contrast, Barcelona president Joan Laporta was showered with cheers. At the end of the match, he joined the team on the pitch to celebrate and had the honor of lifting the trophy.
