Hey, Barça fans! Welcome to the very first episode of my podcast, where I, a high school girl absolutely obsessed with football, bring you the latest and craziest updates from the world of FC Barcelona!
Let’s start with the Spanish Super Cup final on January 13, which took place at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. And let me just say… what a game! The first half was like an emotional rollercoaster. I was half asleep because, well, 3:00 a.m. in Beijing, but my adrenaline was through the roof! Mbappé scored for Real Madrid, but then Yamar equalized for Barça, and Gavi? Oh my gosh, Gavi created a beautiful goal for Lewandowski to score. Follow closely, Rafinha got on the scoreboard too—what a celebration moment that was. And THEN—hold up, I’m still shaking—Baldé scored in stoppage time. By halftime, it was 4-1, Barcelona.
The second half was pure madness. Rodrigo failed Real Madrid with a goal on the pole, raphina scored another!! but then the drama—Mbappé got a great goal chance but ruined by Shchensny, VAR had the last word. Shchensny got a red card, it was a great disaster and made me once thought fcb was going to lose the final. but we ended the match 5-2! Barcelona absolutely owned it! I’m not even joking, I was jumping around the room at 3 a.m. thinking, is this really happening?! Barca fans were going wild, saying it’s a great start for 2025.
Now, on to some big news—Araujo! I was seriously panicking for a minute there, thinking he might leave us in the winter window! But good news, guys, Araujo is staying! After some intense talks with Deco, he has convinced Araujo to hang tight for now. I’m just picturing Lewandowski doing his best “please stay” speech, and honestly, it probably worked because, who wouldn’t want to stay at Barça after a 5-2 win, right? So, Araujo is sticking with us at least until the summer—thank goodness!
That’s all for today, folks! I’m super excited to keep sharing Barcelona news with you all, and trust me, we’re only getting started. Stay tuned for more drama, goals, and maybe even a few more 3 a.m. celebrations—because who doesn’t love a good Barça victory?
