After the Clasico Collapse: Arda Guler's Angry Exit and Barca's Spanish Super Cup Triumph
12 January 2026
Match Context
Turkish star Arda Guler, Real Madrid’s young talent, erupted in anger after the Spanish Super Cup final aired on the Eight app, the exclusive broadcaster for Roshen Saudi League coverage. The moment underscored how much the Clasico means beyond the scoreline.
Key Moments
Cameras captured Guler leaving the Omnia Stadium in frustration at the final whistle, then forcefully kicking a bottle and tumbling to the ground. He had started the match on the bench and was brought on in the second half for Fede Valverde.
Barcelona seized the trophy with a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the final. Rafinha scored twice and Robert Lewandowski added another in the 36th, 45+4, and 73rd minutes, while Vinícius Júnior and Gonzalo García struck for Real in the 45+2 and 45+7 minutes.
With this win, Barça extended its lead as the competition’s most decorated side with 16 titles, while Real Madrid sit on 13. It also avenged a league Clasico defeat earlier in the season.

Punchlines: 1) When emotions are sharper than the scoreboard, even a bottle gets a red card in the drama of Clasico night.
2) Guler’s mood swing is not a transfer rumor—it's an autograph from the theater of football: unpredictable, unforgettable, and slightly hazardous for bottles everywhere.
