Start of match
-
PRVWPlayers are out of the tunnel, here we goooooooo!
-
PRVWLess than ten minutes to go and we have a beautiful pre-kick-off light show at the King Abdullah Sports City!
-
PRVWWith 15 minutes to go, here are the top 3 goalscorers in the history of 'El Clasico': In third place, we have Karim Benzema with 16 goals, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo, who counts 18 alongside Di Stefano. In the undisputed first place, we have eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, who has scored 26 goals against 'Los Blancos' with Barcelona.
-
PRVWPlayers are out on the pitch for the warm-up. Here's Pedri getting ready with a couple of kick-ups!
January 12, 2025
-
PRVWOn the bench for Hansi Flick's side: Araujo, Torres, Peaa, Fermin, Victor, Olmo, De Jong, Garcia, Astralaga, Fort, Martin.
-
PRVWLamine Yamal will want to keep up his scoring spree after scoring on his return from injury in the semi-final. The 17-year-old comes into the match with seven goals and 11 assists across all competitions. Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha complete the attack. The Polish striker has been delivering underwhelming performances recently but remains a threat as he scored a brace the last time out in 'El Clasico'. Raphinha has been excellent this season and has become the key for Barca to find goals.
-
PRVWSeason revelation Casado will have a hard-fought battle to control the game's midfield but will be alongside Gavi, who is back to is best after returning from a long period on the sidelines and Pedri, who has been playing at a world-class level for much of the season.
-
PRVWSo it is confirmed! Szczesny is chosen over Pena for a third consecutive time with Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez and Balde in front of him. Araujo is back for the Catalans after injury, but Flick chose not to shaken up the back-four.
-
PRVWHere's how Barcelona line up (4-3-3): Szczesny (GK); Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri, Gavi; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
January 12, 2025
-
PRVWAnd we finally have Barcelona's starting lineupppppppppp!! Let's see what it's saying...
-
PRVWOn the bench for Carlo Ancelotti's side: Lunin, Gonzalez, Guler, Endrick, Ceballos, Garcia, Brahim, Asencio, Aguado.
-
PRVWUp front, Vinicius will be looking to make the most of his last appearance before retreating to the sidelines due to suspension, alongside Rodrygo, who has four goals in his last five appearances, and Mbappe will be aiming to make up for his disappointing 'Clasico' debut.
-
PRVWIn the middle of the pitch, we have Valverde making his 30th consecutive start this season for Real Madrid, Camavinga with his much-needed defensive efforts and Bellingham, who will be eager to add another 'Clasico' goal to his resume.
-
PRVWSo it is confirmed! Courtois, who was injured for the first 'El Clasico' of the season, finally gets his chance to start against Barcelona. Lucas Vazquez gets his 350th appearance for Real Madrid and starts alongside Tchouameni, who has received the green light from the medical staff, Rudiger, who will be tasked with keeping Robert Lewandowski off the scoresheet, and Mendy, who goes up against Lamine Yamal.
-
PRVWHere's how Real Madrid line up (4-2-3-1): Courtois (GK); Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe.
January 12, 2025
-
PRVWReal Madrid have dropped their official starting XI for the Spanish Super Cup final!!! Let's see what it is saying...
-
PRVWHere's how Barcelona could line up (4-3-3): Szczesny (GK); Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri, Gavi; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
-
PRVWHere's how Real Madrid could line up (4-3-3): Courtois (GK); Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius.
-
PRVWWith that all settled, let's have a look at the possible lineup!!!! Starting with 'Los Blancos'....
-
PRVWThe Polish goalkeeper was chosen ahead of Inaki Pena for the semi-final tie as reports from Spain revealed the latter had been late for training, causing flick to drop him against Athletic Bilbao.
-
PRVWDani Olmo and Pau Victor are available for selection after they were granted both temporary registration in the squad by the CSD, but they are unlikely to start in the final. Flick will be looking to deploy Olmo mid-game as Gavi is set to start in the middle of the pitch. Wojciech Szczesny is expected to get a third consecutive start in goal in what would be his first El Clasico appearance.
-
PRVWOn the other hand, Hansi Flick will be relieved to see that all of his squad is available tonight. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is the only long-term absentee due to an ACL injury suffered at the start of the season. But he is Saudi Arabia to support his side from the stands tonight, great news for Barca!
January 11, 2025
-
PRVWBut they will have to do so without Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, who are out due to long-term injuries. Elsewhere, Aurelien Tchouameni, who suffered a head injury in the first half of the semi-final against Mallorca, is leaning towards a start while Luka Modric could also return to the squad after recovering from illness.
-
PRVWWhile Real Madrid won the last edition of the Spanish Super Cup over Barcelona in 2024, 'Los Blancos' will be looking to avenge the 0-4 'Clasico' humbling at home in October.
-
PRVWThe No. 7 was graced with a two-game league suspension, which will see him sit out the games against Las Palmas and Real Valladolid later this month. That said he was eligible to feature in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Mallorca, and will also be available tonight against Barcelona.
-
PRVWVinicius was also heavily criticised last week for his red card in Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Valencia on January 2 in La Liga. The forward was sent off for pushing goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the back of the neck.
-
PRVWDrama and controversy are common ahead of a match as big as this one is common, but once it's time to get on the pitch, everything is left behind as the trophy becomes the sole focus.
January 12, 2025
-
PRVWWhile the two were known to get into heated arguments on the pitch between dribbles and tackles, things in Jeddah during the semi-final were taken to the next level as Vinicius' teammates were very aggressive with Maffeo after his words.
-
PRVWAs for Real Madrid, controversy arose following Vinicius Jr and Mallorca's Pablo Maffeo's rivalry. Days ahead of the trip to the Middle East for the semi-final, the defender said during a podcast that he could knock the Brazilian forward out in 10 seconds if they challenged each other in a boxing match.
-
PRVWNevertheless, the 'Blaugrana' got over the registration hurdle as La Liga has confirmed the reinstatement of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor into the squad. The decision arrived after the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) granted a precautionary measure allowing the players to be re-registered.
-
PRVWCaptain Raphinha also spoke on his teammate's situation, causing controversy as he said: "If I were at another club and saw Pau and Dani’s situation, I might reconsider whether being here is the best choice. However, when I joined, I knew what was happening, and I don’t regret it."
-
PRVWThe situation completely overshadowed Barca's semi-final triumph over Athletic Club as players and fans were left with a "bad taste", as defender Ronald Araujo told reporters.
-
PRVWBarcelona took their case to the CSD after two attempts to renew the duo's licenses were rebuffed by courts, while La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation rejected Barcelona's registration attempts.
-
PRVWThe pair were given short-term licenses at the start of the season as the financially struggling Catalans wrangled their way around La Liga's stringent budget controls when defender Andreas Christensen suffered an injury, offering a loophole.
-
PRVWFlick's men had Athletic Bilbao (0-2) on their way to the final, while Ancelotti's side took on Mallorca (3-0). Both games were marked by controversies off the pitch. The more notable one is certainly that of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
-
PRVWAs Jeddah once again hosts another ‘Clasico’, the score of the Spanish Super Cup trophy cabinet could either become even (Barcelona have 14, Real Madrid 13) or get wider between the two sides.
-
PRVWIn 2020, the final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid (4-1 on penalties) was held at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah - which is also tonight's venue. In 2022, (Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid) it took place at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, and so did the 2023 final. (Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona). Last year's edition, saw the final (Real Madrid 4-1 Barcelona) take place at the Al Awwal Park in Riyadh.
-
PRVWIt has already been six years since the introduction of this new format involving a 'Final Four', and five since the final was first held in Saudi Arabia. Minus 2021 - the year of the COVID-19 pandemic - all Spanish Super Cup finals have been held in Saudi Arabia.
-
PRVWThe new Spanish Super Cup format has allowed for more ‘Clasico’ games over recent years. There is a margin, of being runner-up in the league or in the Copa del Rey in the event of not winning some of the titles. This is how Barcelona have got into the final.
-
PRVWBut who is going to come out on top this time?
-
PRVW2023, 2024 and now 2025... We've got 'El Clasico' for a third consecutive year in a Super Cup final! The 'Azulgrana' brought home the trophy in 2023 with a 1-3 victory, but 'Los Blancos' got their sweet revenge the following year as they conquered the Super Cup with a 4-1 win.
