Real Madrid and Barcelona will fight this Sunday for the first title of the year, the Spanish Super Cup 2025. Both will star in the Saudi city of Jeddah in the classic Spanish football match, in which, if the whites win, they would equal the Blaugranas in number of titles in the competition (14).
Carlo Ancelotti’s team will fight for the title after beating Mallorca in the semi-final 3-0, while Barcelona beat Athletic (0-2) in this Wednesday’s tie.
The first time the two met in this competition was in 1988, with the victory of Real Madrid, which also won the Super Cup in 1990, 1993, 1997, 2012 and 2017, in two-legged finals. With this format, the victory only went to the Barça side in 2011.
Since the competition system was modified in 2020 and was expanded to four participants, with the final consisting of one match, the two greats of Spanish football have starred in two duels. And at the moment there is equality: in 2023 he fell to the Barça side, with a 3-1 victory; Last year it was for the whites, who took revenge with a 4-1.
