"In a crazy game at Alinma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City, Raphinha netted the winning goal in the 73rd minute for Barcelona, who also saw Frenkie de Jong sent off. Raphinha had also opened the scoring nine minutes before half-time, only for his strike to spark a flurry of goals to end a dramatic 45 minutes between the two Clasico rivals."
"Raphinha also became only the second player to ever score four goals in a single edition of the Supercopa de Espana, after Aritz Aduriz in 2015, against Barcelona. "His mentality is impressive and we also have others, he influences the whole team," Flick told Movistar. "He missed the first opportunity but took advantage of the second and gave us confidence. We had a lot of pressure as you have seen.""
