On January 13th at 1:39 AM Beijing time, the Spanish Super Cup final was originally expected to be a closely matched duel. However, Barcelona gradually turned the national derby into a one-sided affair after being struck by Mbappe's lightning-fast goal. In just 33 minutes, they scored four consecutive goals to achieve a 4-1 lead.
