The first title of the season in Spain is on the table at this time, when Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia for a huge battle in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

The Blancos come to the meeting with great momentum and have already recorded six consecutive victories in all competitions. As I remember, they qualified for the final in the most dramatic way possible with a 3:5 victory over Atlético Madrid in extra time and this after Dani Carvajal equalized 3:3 in the 85th minute and Khoslo and Brahim Dias decided in the 120th minute.

On the other hand, the Catalans are not particularly convincing in their ability, but they win. Barca won all of their last 4 matches in all competitions and reached the final after a smooth 0:2 victory over Ossona with goals from Robert Lewandowski and Lamin Yamal.

As you may remember, the last meeting between the teams was the great classic of La Liga in which Carlo Ancelotti’s team came back from a deficit from an early goal by Ilkay Gundoin to turn around and win with a dramatic couplet by Jude Bellingham – which decided the game in the 92nd minute. The Whites and the Blaugrana have won the Super Cup the most times, with Barca winning 14 and Real 12. By the way, this is a repeat of last season’s final – when Xavi’s players won 1:3 and the coach won his first title as Barcelona coach.
