Organized in the form of a Final Four since 2020, the Spanish Supercup brings together the two Copa del Rey finalists and the two best Liga clubs from the previous season. The draw reserved a Clasico to start the competition. A legendary match that has turned to the advantage of Real Madrid in recent months. Carlo Ancelotti’s players remain on four consecutive victories against their historic rival and have not lost against Barcelona since March 2019.
The last clash to date ended with a Madrid success (2-1) thanks to goals from David Alaba and Lucas Vazquez. A match in the image of the season of the two clubs. Real Madrid are at the top of La Liga thanks to their duo Benzema (17 goals, 7 assists) – Vinicius (12 goals, 4 assists), while FC Barcelona, in difficulty, is in sixth place in the championship. Xavi’s return to the Blaugrana bench has not solved all of the Catalans’ problems, already eliminated from the Champions League. A first for twenty years. The Spanish Super Cup could give them confidence and relaunch their season.
