If a single play could sum up Real's miserable night, that's the one. On Gavi's performance: “He is a competitive animal, super young, at this age most players are still playing in the youth team. Ancelotti sending on Rodrygo for Camavinga at half-time was both an admission that he got his XI wrong, and that Madrid needed something very different at 0-2 down. Next month they have to travel again to Morocco for the Club World Cup, just before their Champions League round of 16 tie with Liverpool. Throughout the game, Barca were just sharper both mentally and physically, winning their individual battles. And, for Barca’s second and third goals, Xavi’s side were able to raid Madrid’s right flank to ensure the Supercopa was theirs. He played a part in all three Barca goals. There are not many players who can say they have played five Clasicos at just 18 years of age, but Gavi showed once again he is more than capable on this stage. A trophy victory, in a Clasico against Madrid, will significantly strengthen Xavi’s position everywhere — with his players, with his president and with the fans. But now Xavi can point to a big win, and one in which his own tactical acumen was crucial. Most obviously, the former playmaker now has his first trophy as Barca coach. [Gavi](https://theathletic.com/football/player/gavi-9ACowrmXJKJKTUi5/) opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, slotting home a lovely pass from Lewandowski.

He whipped in the cross and Pedri converted from close range – it was turning into a rout. His shot was blocked and when it ran to Lewandowski, Courtois pushed his shot on to the post. Lewandowski receives the ball just outside the box. Gavi the star of the show so far. Barcelona had switched Araujo from centre-back to right back to take care of Vinicius and the tactic had worked well. He would make the error that led to the third goal. The rebound ran to Alejandro Balde who thrashed it into the side netting. He won Fifa’s Golden Boy at the end of last year and he started 2023 dominating the first final of the Spanish season. The good news for Xavi is that it wasn’t just Gavi who shone. On 45 minutes it was two and this time roles were reversed. Sergio Busquets won it, Dembele nudged it to Pedri who helped it on to Lewandowski who teed-up Gavi. The opening goal came on 33 minutes and it was an error from Antonio Rudiger that provoked the chain of events.

The ball is played in from the left side. Real Madrid in whites and Barcelona in red and blue stripes. The referee waives play on but Barcelona is interested in taking the free kick. The ball rolls to Kounde on the right and he flashes a shot at the goal. Courtois saves but the ball ricochets to the left post. Barcelona again builds a neat move in the final third and the ball ends up with Lewa. Courtois comes out of his line to stop the ball and wins it in the air. Dembele crosses the ball from the final third, presumably for Lewa but the striker is still not quite in position and the ball is cleared without any danger. They make it into the penalty area but the Barcelona defence is able to nick the ball just in time. It has been compact in defence and has retained the ball well. It is in Benzema’s range but Garcia reaches the ball first and clears it for a corner. Barcelona in control of the ball.
