Vinicius Junior’s first goal in the seventh minute gave the Royal Spanish side an excellent start. Vinicius scored the second goal for Real Madrid just three minutes later. After conceding two goals in quick succession, Barcelona mounted a spirited comeback, with Robert Lewandowski cutting the lead in the 33rd minute.
But Lewandowski’s and Barcelona supporters’ happiness was short-lived as the referee gave Real Madrid a penalty after Araujo had fouled Vinicius in the penalty area. The Brazilian star took advantage of the 11-meter free kick to complete his hat-trick and give Real Madrid a 3-1 lead.

Barcelona was stuck with goals, and the phase ended with “bitter consequences” for them. Real Madrid’s offense is incredibly well-organized and swift. Rodrygo took advantage of the 64th-minute opportunity to give Real Madrid a 4-1 victory.
