The final moments of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup final between Barcelona and Real Madrid were marked by clear tension, after the Catalan team was crowned champions and celebrated in front of their traditional rivals, according to the Spanish newspaper "Sport".

After the final whistle, Real Madrid players headed straight to the bench, at the request of Xabi Alonso, before forming a guard of honor for the referees, similar to what the Barcelona players had done, and then received the runners-up medals after the Catalan team players.

Upon receiving the medals, Kylian Mbappé took his teammates away from the celebration area, preventing the formation of a guard of honor for the Catalan team. French broadcast cameras showed his displeasure as he spoke to his teammates, while Asensio tried to form the guard of honor, but Mbappé asked him to stop, which sparked the discontent of Barcelona fans.

This incident occurred while Mbappé participated in the last minutes of the match, despite not being fully fit after only one training session and still suffering from some issues with his left knee.

Despite the incident, the match did not witness major physical confrontations between players of the two teams, except for some tension following Asensio's challenge on Pedri, which led to a scuffle involving Raphinha, Fati, and Lamin Yamal, resulting in several yellow cards.
