Another edition of the Clasico will take place in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, when Real Madrid and FC Barcelona play for another title between them, and where Los Blancos are looking to equal the number of titles of the Catalans.
The match will take place on Arab soil and after semi-finals full of scandals that went beyond the pitch. Carlo Ancelotti‘s side will be looking to win the trophy for the 14th time, to equal the record held by the Catalans, who will want to increase their number of titles and stay at the top as the biggest winners of the competition, which has been played since the 1982-83 season
Barca reached the final after beating Athletic Club 2-0 with goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal, while Los Blancos overcame Mallorca 3-0 with goals from Rodrygo and Bellingham, as well as an own goal.
In addition, it is a quick rematch for Madrid after the thrashing they suffered in LaLiga 4-0 against the Catalans in October 2024, although things look very different now.
At that time, Barcelona were top of the standings in Spanish football, whereas they currently occupy third position after a lack of good results, partly due to a series of injuries that have depleted the team’s ability.
Real Madrid are currently top of the table in the Spanish championship, while the Blaugrana are third in LaLiga.
