SPANISH SUPER CUP RECORD
Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Statistics and Records of the Classics in the Spanish Super Cup
The clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona promises to write another exciting chapter in the historic rivalry between the two giants of Spanish football
Real Madrid and Barcelona are the teams that have crossed paths the most times in the history of the Supercopa de España, a tournament that holds a special place in the hearts of football fans. Traditionally held in August and played over two legs between the league champion and the cup champion, the competition underwent a radical change in 2018, when the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) replaced the classic format with a single-match final in Morocco. However, this system had a short life, as in 2019 the current "final four" format was implemented in Saudi Arabia.
Records of the Spanish Super Cup
- 14 titles: FC Barcelona
- 13 titles: Real Madrid.
- 03 titles: Athletic Club and Deportivo.
- 02 titles: Atlético de Madrid
- 01 title: Valencia, Sevilla, Zaragoza, Mallorca, and Real Sociedad.
In its 41st edition, the Supercopa de España continues to be dominated by the two giants of Spanish football. Together, they account for two-thirds of the tournament's titles, with a slight advantage for FC Barcelona, which has 14 trophies compared to Real Madrid's 13. This Sunday, the whites have the opportunity to equal their eternal rival's record, while the blaugranas seek to extend their lead in the historical statistics.
The Classic, protagonist in the Super Cup
This will be the tenth time a Classic determines the champion of the Supercopa. In these direct encounters, Real Madrid has demonstrated its superiority, lifting the trophy seven times compared to only two for Barcelona. The last white victory in a final against Barça took place last year in Riyadh, where Carlo Ancelotti's team won decisively 4-1.
On the other hand, the culés have not defeated Madrid in a Supercopa final for two seasons. Furthermore, the new format has also led to electrifying duels between both teams. In the 2022 semifinal, Real Madrid overcame Barcelona in extra time (2-3) with a decisive goal from Federico Valverde, reaffirming their dominance in the Classics of the tournament.
The next encounter promises to be another exciting chapter in the historic rivalry between these two giants of Spanish football. Will Real Madrid equal the score, or will Barcelona extend their lead? The answer lies on the pitch.
The historical dominance of both (there have only been four editions in which neither team has played in the final) has also been reflected in the last five editions since the tournament has been held in the new final four format. Madrid has emerged victorious three times, Barça once, and Athletic took the 2021 edition.
