Monte Carlo, Aug 29 (DPA) Supersub Pedro Dominguez won the UEFA Super Cup for Barcelona in Monte Carlo Friday, with a classy extra-time goal that finally broke the deadlock against defensive Shakhtar Donetsk.

The late 1-0 win gives Barca their fifth trophy within the space of four months, and confirms their status as the best team in Europe.

With just just five minutes of extra-time left, with a penalty shootout looming, Pedro played a clever one-two with Lionel Messi, cut in from the left and scored with a calm low drive.

It was no more than Barca deserved, since they had dominated from start to finish against a Shakhtar side which was only interested in defending.
