Culé Supremacy! FC Barcelona Establishes Itself as King of the Super Cup with Its 15th Title

FC Barcelona celebrated its fifteenth title of the Super Cup of Spain with a historic thrashing of Real Madrid in Jeddah (2-5). The team led by Hansi Flick crushed Carlo Ancelotti's side for the second consecutive Clásico with an unstoppable first half. The 'merengues' took the lead in the 5th minute, but the power of the blue and claret attack turned the score around with four goals before halftime.

Lamine Yamal equalized the match in the 22nd minute, and from there, Barça was a true whirlwind. Robert Lewandowski (from a penalty) made it 1-2 in the 36th minute, and three minutes later, Raphinha scored the third with a perfect header, after a great cross from Koundé. Raphinha himself sealed the match in the last action of the first half with a 'crack' assist to Alejandro Balde, who finished like a forward against Courtois. In the second half, the Brazilian closed the 'five-goal' tally with another remarkable finish in the 48th minute.

Barça Remains King of the Super Cup of Spain

For Barça, the rout in the final means their official title number 100 and allows them to remain the top winner of the Super Cup of Spain, surpassing Madrid by two titles. The 'White House' had the chance to equal the culés, but could not repeat the title obtained last season in Riyadh. Furthermore, the 2024 final was the third consecutive one defined by a Clásico. With Sunday's victory, Barça also takes the lead in the head-to-head in the decisive instance.

The blue and claret team also managed to prevail in the 2023 edition (1-3). In fact, since the tournament has been held in its current 'final four' format, no reigning La Liga champion has managed to win the tournament. The last league champion to win the Super Cup was Barça, in 2018 against Sevilla (2-1). That was the first single-match final, held in Tangier (Morocco).
