It's El Clasico time again. Bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona will renew their rivalry on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup final at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Los Blancos advanced to the final after defeating Mallorca 3-0 on Thursday, while Hansi Flick's team secured their spot by overcoming Athletic Club 2-0 on Wednesday.
Sunday's game will be the third successive Spanish Super Cup final between the two clubs. Last year's final saw Real Madrid defeat Barcelona 4-1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In that match, Vinicius Jr netted a brace in the opening 10 minutes before Robert Lewandowski found the net for Barcelona in the 33rd minute. Six minutes later, Vinicius completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot. Rodrygo wrapped up the victory for Los Blancos in the second half.
The latest encounter between Real Madrid and Barcelona on October 26, 2024, in La Liga resulted in a 4-0 victory for the Catalan side at the Santiago Bernabeu. Before that game, Los Blancos had won four successive competitive matches against Barca.
