Inspired by teenager Gavi, Barcelona convincingly beat Real Madrid 3-1 to lift Spanish Super Cup
The Catalans' dominance brought back memories of their 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu last season.
Karim Benzema netted a late consolation for Madrid, who have been far from their best since the World Cup break and also fell three points behind Barcelona in La Liga last weekend. Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was outstanding in his team's semi-final victory over Valencia on Wednesday, made a brilliant early save to deny Lewandowski, tipping his low drive against the post and out.
Gavi turned provider for the second, running onto De Jong's pass and sliding the ball across the face of the goal for Lewandowski to finish clinically.
