Barcelona Wins Supercopa de España title.
Barcelona edged out Real Madrid 3-2 in a pulsating Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, securing their record-extending 16th Supercopa de España title and back-to-back triumphs in the competition.
The thrilling El Clásico lived up to its billing with five goals, dramatic momentum swings, and late tension. Raphinha was the standout star for Barça, netting a brilliant brace (in the 36th and 73rd minutes, the latter a deflected winner) to lead Hansi Flick's side to victory. Robert Lewandowski added the other goal right at the end of the first half (45+4').
For Real Madrid, under coach Xabi Alonso, Vinícius Júnior produced a stunning solo effort (45+2') to equalize temporarily, while Gonzalo García leveled again shortly after halftime (around the 50th minute). Despite a late red card to Frenkie de Jong giving Madrid a numerical advantage in stoppage time, Barcelona's defense — including heroic saves from goalkeeper Joan García — held firm against intense pressure, denying Los Blancos an equalizer.
This win marks Barcelona's first silverware of the 2025/26 season, avenging an earlier league defeat to Madrid and boosting momentum under Flick. It also highlights Barça's dominance in recent Supercopa finals against their fierce rivals, with this being their third victory over Real in the last four editions of the tournament.
