Khaberni - The Spanish Super Cup final held on Sunday, and ended with Barcelona defeating Real Madrid 3-2, saw a controversial moment after Real Madrid players refused to present the traditional guard of honor to the Catalan team during their ascent to the podium.
According to reports, Kylian Mbappe was crucial in this incident, as he intervened and prevented his teammates from performing the guard, in a behavior some described as lacking sportsmanship and contradicting the norms customary in Spanish tournaments.
This stance provoked widespread reactions among fans and media, where some observers saw it as deviating from the traditions of mutual respect between the historic rivals, while others considered it as reflecting the intense rivalry between the teams on both football and moral levels, especially after a thrilling match that ended in Barcelona's favor by a single goal difference.
No official comment has been issued from Real Madrid or Barcelona to clarify the circumstances of what happened or to provide an official account of the incident, making the situation a subject of broad debate within the Spanish football arena.
