The third consecutive final in Saudi Arabia between Barcelona and Real Madrid will not serve to modify excessively the list of the twenty top scorers of the Spanish Super Cupbut yes so that the whites equal the Blaugrana in the competition’s record and so that Ancelotti becomes the most successful coach of the tournament alongside Guardiola and Cruyff.
All this, of course, in the event that Chamartín’s men win a title that they already won last year, precisely against their eternal rival, the club that leads the ranking of conquests in what is known as the first title of the year on the national soccer scene. The resolution will take place this Sunday, January 12 at 8:00 p.m. at the King Abdullah Sports City of Jeddah City.
In the event that Hansi Flick’s men are crowned as the Spanish super champions, the culé entity would achieve his fifteenth titlefor the thirteen that the Paseo de la Castellana team has, the three from Athletic de Bilbao and the same number for Deportivo de la Coruña, the Galician team being the only one that has won in those editions that it has played.
