Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Madrid brought a Super Cup win, around 8 million euros in income and one very happy club.
The celebrations after the match continued on the plane home, with the Barca board seemingly on a huge high.
According to Cope journalist Victor Navarro, the message from the board after arriving home was: “without the sending off we have scored eight.”
Barcelona roared into a 5-1 lead against Madrid and were looking rampant until goalkeeper Wojciech Szczu0119sny was sent off early in the second half.
Madrid also pulled one back from the resulting free-kick to make it 5-2 but couldn’t score again as Barca took control and closed the game out comfortably.
