"His actions have not gone down well, leading to accusations of a lack of sportsmanship, and Laporta felt the France captain had not behaved correctly. He told RAC-1: "I'm surprised by what he did. In victory and defeat you have to be generous and respectful. This is sport and you must show good behaviour. I think we, in victory, were generous and respected the opposing team. That's why I can't understand it.""
"Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe did not want to hang around to watch Barcelona lift the Spanish Super Cup. Barca claimed the trophy with a 3-2 victory inspired by Raphinha, who scored twice in Jeddah. Mbappe was expected to sit the game out due to a knee injury but came on in place of Gonzalo Garcia with 14 minutes to go but could not inspire a comeback."
Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in the Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah, with Raphinha scoring twice and Robert Lewandowski also on target. Vinicius Jr and Gonzalo Garcia scored for Real Madrid, with all three first-half stoppage-time goals. Kylian Mbappé came off the bench despite a knee injury but failed to spark a comeback and then urged his teammates to head down the tunnel rather than watch Barcelona lift the trophy.

Barcelona now prepare for Copa del Rey and LaLiga matches.
