Real Madrid And Barcelona Set For Spanish Super Cup Final After Convincing Semi-Final Wins
Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to face off in the Spanish Super Cup final after both teams secured impressive semi-final wins in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Los Blancos reached the final with a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. Federico Valverde opened the scoring with a spectacular free-kick just 77 seconds into the match, and Rodrygo extended the lead in the second half with a composed finish after a slick run past Atletico’s defense. Alexander Sorloth pulled one back for Atletico, but it wasn’t enough to stop Carlo Ancelotti’s side from advancing.
Barcelona stormed into the final with a dominant 5-0 win over Athletic Club, demonstrating their attacking strength under Hansi Flick and leaving no doubt about their readiness for the clash with their historic rivals.
Sunday’s El Clasico in the Spanish Super Cup promises high drama, with Real Madrid chasing a 14th title and Barcelona looking to continue their dominant run. The tournament continues to be hosted in Saudi Arabia until at least 2029, following an agreement with the Spanish Football Federation.
