Refereeing controversies were not lacking in the first half of the FC Barcelona-Real Madrid<\/strong> match, for the final of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup<\/strong>. The main referee, Jos\u00e9 Luis Munuera Montero<\/a>, in addition to forgiving a yellow card that bordered on a red for \u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/strong> for a nasty tackle on Lamine Yamal<\/strong> in the 26th minute, messed up in stoppage time with an absurdly prolonged added time.<\/p>

The Andalusian referee, in principle, added three minutes of stoppage time<\/strong> in a first half with few interruptions. Vinicius Jr.<\/strong> scored the 1-1 in the 45+2′ and the referee decided to add one more minute. Up to that point, everything was fine.<\/p>

However, **Robert Lewandowski**, once again put Bar\u00e7a ahead in the 45+4′, after a notable finish to a through ball from Pedri. The first half seemed to end there, but Munuera Montero, inexplicably, let play continue until the 45+8′, extending the added time before halftime from three to eight minutes<\/p>

Gonzalo scored Madrid’s second goal in the 45+7′<\/h2>

The whites earned a corner from the right after a quick counter-attack preceded by a possible foul on Kound\u00e9. Jos\u00e9 Luis Munuera allowed Rodrygo to take the corner kick<\/strong>, and from that action, the equalizer came about in an unusual way.<\/p>

**Dean Huijsen** headed the ball directly at the crossbar, after a deflection from Raphinha. The Brazilian managed to prevent the goal with a remarkable stretch, but the rebound fell to **Gonzalo Garc\u00eda**. The Madrid forward, from the ground, anticipated Pedri to get a last-ditch shot away that beat Frenkie de Jong after hitting the post.<\/p>

Thus, Real Madrid, amid controversy, managed to go into halftime at 2-2, with controversy included. Bar\u00e7a was far superior, controlling possession from the start (77%) and putting the ‘Merengues’ on the ropes after the initial 1-0 in the 36th minute, scored by **Raphinha** thanks to another perfect pass from Pedri.<\/p>
