Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España final (2-5) marked the second thrashing in 77 days for Hansi Flick's team against the 'merengues' in the 2024-25 season. For the first time in history, the Blaugrana scored 4 or more goals against Madrid in consecutive Classics and, in addition, the German coach surpassed Pep Guardiola as the coach with the best record in his first two encounters against the 'White House'.

In 2008-09, the Santpedor native ended the season with two victories and a record of 8 goals for and only 2 against. Flick, on the other hand, has managed to have his Barça score 9 goals in two matches against Carlo Ancelotti's team, a figure that even falls short of the number of chances created by the Catalans in both matches. The most incredible part is that Barcelona's 9 goals came in a span of 93 official minutes (between the match at the Bernabéu and the one in Arabia).

Moreover, the defeat in Arabia was only the third in a final conceding 5 goals for the Madridistas. Benfica, in the 1962 Champions final (5-3), was the first to achieve this. In 2007, Sevilla emulated the Portuguese with a historic 3-5 at the Santiago Bernabéu, also in the Supercopa de España. And, in Classics played on neutral ground, it is the first time that one of the teams has dealt a 'five-goal' defeat to its rival.

Biggest victories of Barça in the Classic

For Barça, despite the lopsided score in the Supercopa final, there are other much harsher victories in the Classic. The biggest thrashing of the Catalan team against the capital team dates back to the 1950-51 season, in LaLiga, with a brutal 7-2. The Catalans achieved a similar result in the 1956-57 Copa del Rey (6-1), while, at the Santiago Bernabéu, the 0-5 from 1973-74 remains the most severe defeat of the Blaugrana against Madrid. Sunday seemed poised for an even bigger thrashing, but Szczesny's red card affected the last half hour of the match.

Balance of Barça-Madrid after the Supercopa final

The number of draws remains at 52, while the goal difference is +7, favorable to the 'merengues' (435 GF for Madrid against 428 for Barça). In the Supercopa de España, the balance also favors the 'White House'.
