The game

The first dangerous move came in the seventh minute. Víctor took advantage of the corner and headed the ball, which Courtois made a good save.

At 11 minutes, the match was interrupted due to dangerous lightning. However, it was resumed an hour later.

At 37, still in the first half, Endrick had the chance to score his first goal for Real Madrid. He received a pass from Modric at the edge of the area, controlled the ball and shot low, just wide of the post.

Soon after, at 41, Valle crossed from the right to find Lewandowski. The Pole then set up the ball in the small area for Pau Víctor to head into the goal.

Barcelona extended their lead in the eighth minute, again through Pau Víctor. The player received Álex Valle’s cross from the left and finished inside the six-yard box, into the back of the net.

Real Madrid managed to pull one back in the 36th minute, with Nico Paz. The player received the pass at the far post, behind the defense, and finished into the goal, without any worries.
