Spanish Super Cup

The Spanish Super Cup is an annual football competition contested by the winners and runners-up of La Liga and the Copa del Rey. In 2026, the tournament was held in Saudi Arabia. Recent news focuses on the Supercopa final between Barcelona and Real Madrid, an El Clasico match. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 to retain the title. The lead-up to the final was marked by concerns over the fitness of Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe, who was initially ruled out due to injury but potentially faced a late return. Barcelona reached the final by defeating Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in the semi-final, while Mbappe missed Real Madrid's derby match against Atletico due to a knee injury. Winning the Super Cup is seen as a significant boost for Barcelona, providing 'energy' for their other ambitions this season.
