Barcelona take on the visitors Real Madrid in the final match of Spanish Super Cup. The match will be played on Sunday, January 11th at King Abdullah Sports City (Jeddah).
Barcelona want to confirm that they remain the stronger side. Last season, after appointing Flick as head coach, the Blaugrana failed only in the Champions League, while in all domestic competitions, from the Super Cup to the Copa del Rey, they were the best, including against their main rival, Real Madrid. After the summer break, however, there were plenty of problems, including issues linked to the overall balance and rhythm of the team. Nevertheless, by January they not only caught up with Los Blancos, to whom they had lost in the autumn, but also pulled four points clear of them. There have been no serious problems in other tournaments either. In particular, Barcelona delivered an impressive rout of Athletic in the Super Cup. The final 5-0 against the Basques was effectively sealed early in the second half. Recent matches show that Barcelona have regained stability and confidence, especially in games against strong opponents. Their results suggest a team that knows how to control big occasions and consistently turn pressure into points.

Real Madrid brought back their former midfielder after a spring in which they lost everything possible: not only did they surrender domestically to the Culés, but they were also eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal long before the final. The new coach did not start well, losing to PSG at the Club World Cup in the summer, which meant that in 2025 the giant ended the year without any trophies at all. Still, the new campaign began fairly confidently, including a win over Barcelona. From late autumn, however, both results and overall harmony began to suffer. There were even rumors before the trip to Saudi Arabia that returning without the Super Cup would be unacceptable. In the end, they beat their first opponent, Atletico, thus taking revenge for the 2-5 derby defeat in La Liga. Despite that success, Real Madrid have struggled to maintain consistency against top-level opposition in recent weeks. Their form suggests that even solid performances are often followed by costly lapses, making this clash especially challenging.
Before the autumn success mentioned above, Los Blancos lost all four meetings last season, and only in the cup final did they manage to force extra time after a draw in regular time. The game should be entertaining, so the best option here is to back a total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
