"&nbsp;\r\nBarcelona defeated Sevilla 2-1 to win the first ever one-legged Spanish Super Cup game played in Morocco on Sunday with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Gerard Pique cancelling out the strike from Pablo Sarabia for Sevilla.\r\nThe win saw Lionel Messi lifting his first trophy as Barcelona captain. It was the Argentine's first match as captain since taking over from Andres Iniesta who has switched to Japanese league.\r\nThe win was the sixth time in nine years that Barcelona lifted the Spanish Super Cup.\r\nSarabia put Sevilla ahead when the video assistant referee gave a goal which had been ruled out for offside.\r\nBut Pique levelled from close range before Dembele then fired Barca into the lead.\r\nBen Yedder had a chance to restore parity from the penalty, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved a last-minute penalty as Barcelona clinched their first title of the season.\r\nIn another development, Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Bayern defeated Frankfurt 5-0 to lift German Super Cup at the Commerzbank Arena, in Frankfurt, Germany.\r\nRobert Lewandowski scored a first ever Super Cup hat-trick while Kingsley Coman and Thiago Alcantara were also on target in the final.\r\nLewandowski scored the opener in the 21st minute heading Joshua Kimmich's cross past Frederik Ronnow in goal for Eintracht Frankfurt.\r\nThe Poland striker, 29, bagged his brace, a second header five minutes later before completing his treble with a fierce left-footed shot 10 minutes after the break.\r\nKingsley Coman and Thiago Alcantara rounded off the scoring.\r\nThe win was a revenge for Bayern, who were beaten 3-1 by Frankfurt in last season's German Cup final."
