Real Madrid vs. Barcelona: Aiming for the 14th Spanish Super Cup Victory

Real Madrid is set to play another final this evening at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This marks the third final for our team this season, following their victory in the UEFA Super Cup and successfully defending their World Champion title for the ninth time. The Blancos will aim to retain the Copa del Rey in the first El Clásico of 2025 (8:00 PM CET, 10:00 PM local time).
For the third consecutive year, Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the final of this tournament. Our team, who claimed the title in 2024 with a 4-1 win featuring a hat trick from Vinícius Júnior and another goal from Rodrygo, is striving to win the Copa del Rey for the 14th time in its history.

In the press conference before the match, Ancelotti stated: “In these games, quality prevails over balance, and individual play shines over team performance.” The Italian coach, who became our club’s most decorated manager last December, will seek to enhance his list of achievements as a Madridista. The impressive form of Bellingham will be crucial in this respect, as he has scored in both matches he has played this year and was a key player in the semi-final victory against Mallorca.
The Opponent
Barcelona reached the final after winning both of their matches in 2025. In the first match, they triumphed over Barbasto (0-4) in the Copa del Rey. In the second, they knocked out Athletic Bilbao in the semi-final of the Supercopa with goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal (2-0).
