Summary
thumb|Barcelona lift UEFA Super Cup after defeating Sevilla in the final.
Sevilla took the lead in the third minute through a curling free kick from Éver Banega, awarded for a foul on José Antonio Reyes by Javier Mascherano.Pedro is Barcelona's UEFA Super Cup hero again https://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/news/0250-0c51114c505d-63dadcebc3cd-1000--pedro-is-barcelona-s-uefa-super-cup-hero-again/ UEFA Union of European Football Associations 11 August 2015 12 August 2015 Barcelona equalised in a similar manner four minutes later, when Lionel Messi scored from a free kick following Grzegorz Krychowiak's foul on Luis Suárez, and then took the lead through another Messi free kick in the 16th minute, after Banega fouled former Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitić. Suárez had a goal ruled out for offside shortly after, but Rafinha made the score 3–1 to Barcelona at half time, sliding in from close range after Suárez's effort was saved by Beto.
Suárez scored early in the second half, assisted by a pass from Sergio Busquets after the midfielder intercepted a pass in the Sevilla half, but Reyes pulled a goal back for Sevilla five minutes later, following a cross from Vitolo. In the 72nd minute, Vitolo was brought down in the Barcelona penalty area by Jérémy Mathieu, and Kevin Gameiro powered home the resulting penalty kick to make the score 4–3. With 10 minutes to play, two Sevilla substitutes combined for the equalising goal, as Ciro Immobile squared the ball across the goal area for Yevhen Konoplyanka to score. Messi almost had a hat-trick of free kicks in the 89th minute, but his attempt hit the crossbar.
Barcelona introduced Pedro in place of Mascherano at the start of the additional half-hour. With five minutes to play in the second half of extra time, he pounced on the rebound from yet another Messi free kick to put Barcelona ahead, just as he had against Shakhtar Donetsk in 2009. Adil Rami had an attempt on goal from the edge of the goal area in injury time at the end of the extra period, but he missed and Barcelona won the Super Cup for a record fifth time. With nine goals shared between the two teams, this was the highest-scoring Super Cup.Paul Saffer Messi, Alves among Super Cup record-breakers https://www.uefa.com/uefasupercup/news/0250-0c510ba00646-f15169f40a5f-1000--messi-alves-among-super-cup-record-breakers/ UEFA Union of European Football Associations 11 August 2015 2 August 2017
