Manchester United-bound Pedro settled a nine-goal thriller in Georgia to win the UEFA Super Cup for Barcelona. After confirming he wanted to leave the club before Barca faced Sevilla, and being left out of the starting XI as a consequence, he climbed off the bench to score a dramatic extra-time winner with six minutes remaining. For much of the extraordinary match in Tbilisi Lionel Messi looked like being the difference between the two sides. He buried two free-kicks inside eight first-half minutes as Barcelona recovered from going a goal down after just three minutes.
