<h3> Barca 3-2 Real (Spanish Super Cup, August 2011) </h3> Another Clasico, another explosive affair. Guardiola's Barcelona got the upper hand against Real in the Spanish Super Cup, but events off the pitch overshadowed those on it. Marcelo’s late sending off, for a rash challenge on Cesc Fabregas, sparked an injury-time brawl involving players and coaching staff. Mourinho involved himself by incredibly poking then Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova in the eye, which he says he regrets to this day. After the brawl was broken up, Barcelona went on to lift the Super Cup, giving Guardiola his 11th major piece of silverware in Spain.

One of the many ill-tempered matches between the Spanish giants, the match was marred by off the pitch incidents. Madrid twice came from behind to level on aggregate, until Messi struck late on to add another trophy to Barcelona’s impressive cabinet. The off the field brawl took place when Marcelo was sent off for a rash challenge on Cesc Fabregas. The matter turned ugly when Real boss Mourinho involved himself in the brawl by poking then Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova in the eye.
