Barcelona and Real Madrid will play on Sunday in Riyadh the ninth final of the Spanish Super Cup between the two teams with the most victories in the competition, repeating the last final, with a favorable balance for the Madrid team with six titles to two for its great rival.
Real Madrid seeks to narrow the difference in history with Barcelona, with two fewer trophies in the Spanish Super Cup (12 to 14 for the Catalan team).
It will be the ninth final of the Spanish Super Cup between both clubs. Real Madrid emerged victorious in the first four previous matches (1988, 1990, 1993 and 1997).
The first time that Barcelona won a classic in the final of the competition was in 2011, with Pep Guardiola as coach. Real Madrid took immediate revenge a year later, in 2012, when José Mourinho won against Tito Vilanova.
The finals were in eliminatory rounds, with round-trip matches, in their first seven games. The last one came in 2017 with a double victory for Real Madrid, led by Zinedine Zidane.
The first time that Real Madrid and Barcelona met with the new Spanish Super Cup format introduced by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), was last season, in 2023, when Xavi Hernández’s team found a mental boost with the conquest of the title with superiority in the final against Carlo Ancelotti’s team (3-1).
It will be the third consecutive matchup in Saudi Arabia in the Super Cup. In the 2022 edition, the classic came in the semifinals, with Real Madrid winning in extra time with a goal from Uruguayan Fede Valverde (3-2).
