Fri Jan 10 06:33:49 UTC 2025: ## Barça and Real Madrid to Clash in Spanish Super Cup Final Rematch

**Jeddah, Saudi Arabia** – For the third consecutive year, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off in the Spanish Super Cup final. The rivals secured their spots after Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and Real Madrid edged past Mallorca with a 2-0 victory. The highly anticipated “Clásico” will kick off at 10 PM local time (8 PM CET) on Sunday at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.

Barcelona, aiming for their first trophy under manager Hansi Flick and their 15th Super Cup title (a record), will be seeking revenge for last year’s final loss to Real Madrid. Their confidence is high following a 4-goal victory over Real Madrid earlier this season in La Liga.

Real Madrid’s path to the final was harder-fought. They struggled against Mallorca, breaking the deadlock only in the 63rd minute through Jules Bellingham, before late goals by Martin Valjent (own goal) and Rodrygo sealed the win. A victory on Sunday would see Real Madrid equal Barcelona’s record of 15 Super Cup titles. The match promises a thrilling encounter between two football giants vying for the first major trophy of the 2025 season.
