Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet in the Spanish Super Cup final this Sunday as both teams aim for their first trophy of the 2025-26 season.
This is the fourth consecutive year these two rivals face each other in the final, and the match at Jeddah’s King Abdullah Sports City Stadium promises to be exciting, given their previous encounters at this stage.
Barcelona secured the title in the 2025 edition with a 5-2 victory after having lost 4-1 to Real the year before. In 2023, Barcelona won 3-1 in the final.
