2023, 2024 and 2025. These are the 3 consecutive finals that Real Madrid and Barcelona have reached in the Spanish Super Cup. For the third time in a row, both will play the final in Saudi Arabia, where they are widely acclaimed by the public.
The new format allows for more ‘Clasico’ matches in the Spanish Super Cup. There is a margin, that of being runner-up in the league or in the Copa del Rey in the event of not winning some of the titles. This is how Barcelona have got into the final.
The format is already consolidated, as this is the sixth year in which there is a ‘Final Four’. The venue is also consolidated... by some parties. While teams denounce the harassment that their families have received and the distance of the fans, Real Madrid and Barcelona applaud taking the Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, a country where there are still many rights that have not yet been won.
The first time Real Madrid and Barcelona played each other in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia was in 2023. That tournament was a boost for Xavi's project, who beat Real Madrid 3-1 and would go on to win La Liga a few months later.
Real Madrid's revenge was not long in coming. A year later, the two sides met again, this time with an even more convincing victory for Ancelotti's men (4-1), who would close the season with the La Liga-Champions League double.
On Sunday, Jeddah will once again host another ‘Clasico’, a classic match that could even the score in the Super Cup trophy cabinet (Barcelona have 14, Real Madrid 13) or widen the gap between the two sides.
