FC Barcelona remains unattainable for Real Madrid
The Blaugrana team conquers the Women’s Super Cup with a new display and victory (5-) against a rival that fell apart after 1-0
LEGANÉS (MADRID), 25 (EUROPA PRESS)
FC Barcelona won its fifth Iberdrola Spanish Super Cup title this Sunday, the fourth in a row, after scoring again and showing itself to be much superior to Real Madrid, defeated in the final played at the Butarque Stadium in Leganés (Madrid) by 5- 0 in another match in which he was barely able to worry the Blaugranas.
In the fifteenth duel between both teams there was no surprise either. Despite it being a new scenario, a final, the current champion showed that he is still unattainable for the Madridistas, unable to maintain the excitement beyond the first half hour and victims of his weakness on the left flank, where his rival did a lot of damage. and the clash declined in the final stretch of the first half, somewhat more even than a second where the ‘culer’ ambition was maintained for a new bulky victory and a new title to add to the record.
Alberto Toril modified his eleven with the entry of the Brazilian Antonia on the right side and gave it an offensive varnish with Alba Redondo along with Signe Bruun, Caroline Weir and Linda Caicedo, this one who tried the most. His approach managed for many minutes not to be overwhelmed by a Barça team, dominant and also, at least at the beginning of the final, somewhat more erratic than usual, but which found a fault on the left side.
Madrid’s collective work managed to largely neutralize footballers such as Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas and Claudia Pina, but it did not solve the problem they had on the side where Caroline Graham Hansen attacked, tormenting once again an Olga Carmona who did not sometimes She also found herself very alone because there, together with the electric Norwegian winger, Aitana Bonmatí and Ona Batlle came together to unravel the final for the Blaugranas.
Real Madrid did not suffer so much defensively, except when Pere Romeu’s team attacked them on that side, which became almost continuous as the minutes passed. It was also difficult for the Madridistas to have good possessions to try to carry a danger that almost always came from the boots of Caicedo and where they once again missed something more from the talented Caroline Weir.
The current European champion did not find any great opportunities, except for a goal that was almost disallowed by Ewa Pajor at the beginning of the match, despite the fact that he stepped a lot in the area and its surroundings. Real Madrid only had one threat from a loose ball that Caicedo failed to connect towards goal and saw his resistance go to waste in the last quarter of an hour of the first half.
In two arrivals from the right, Graham Hansen, with a shot lethally deflected by Maelle Lakrar, the best of his, began to unbalance the final after half an hour. Bruun and Weir had the best of their team shortly after, but they failed and almost immediately, Pajor increased the lead after an assist from Batlle that found the gap behind Carmona. With Real Madrid ‘touched’ and looking for a break, a corner kick in the last minute of added time was headed into the net by the Polish striker to end the final.
And the start of the second half did not bring any reaction from the team led by Toril, unable to close the ‘wound’ that had cost them the game. Graham Hansen had two good options to increase the lead, in addition to a penalty that was finally annulled by Olatz Rivera after the VAR call.
But the game already inevitably had one direction and in that script it didn’t take long for the fourth to arrive, a tremendous shot from Guijarro, chosen as the ‘MVP’, against which Misa Rodríguez could do little. There was just over half an hour left and the Madrid team knew that it was going to be suffering because their rival is not given to relaxing.
The ‘little hand’ arrived at the end through Alexia Putellas, who shortly before had missed a very clear chance, while Real Madrid could not even make up the score in the best opportunity that Caicedo had, who ran into a well-placed Cata Coll.
