Real Madrid vs Barcelona How to watch Spanish Super Cups El
Can Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan help stifle Jude Bellingham as Real Madrid bid to win its 13th Supercopa de Espana?

Perhaps the biggest rivalry in world sports — almost certainly the highest profile — takes the stage on Sunday, and there’s silverware on the line as the Spanish Super Cup again is a Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Saudi Arabia is the scene for this tilt, a rematch of the 2023 final that saw Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-1 for its first Supercopa de Espana since the format went to four teams in 2019-20 competition.

Real Madrid can pull within Barca’s record haul of 14 Supercopas by winning Sunday in Jeddah. No other team has won more than three crowns.

Real already had to endure a Madrid derby in the semifinal, outlasting Atletico Madrid 5-3, while Barcelona blanked Osasuna. Yet that was a day later, leaving Madrid perhaps a bit more fresh for the final.

Real won the first Clasico of the season with a 2-1 win away at the Camp Nou on Oct. 28.

Focus on Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s story of the season has been new signing Jude Bellingham, who continues to show us why Birmingham City was ready to make him a statue subject when he was still a teenager.

Real has the best points-per-game haul in La Liga but is a point behind Girona, the surprising Catalan power. Carlo Ancelotti’s back line has only allowed 11 goals in league play and boasts La Liga’s best goal differential at plus-29.

Focus on Barcelona

Barca’s imperious defense of last season has dipped, and the Osasuna win was the first clean sheet since a Dec. 3 blanking of Atletico Madrid. Long-term injuries to Gavi, Marcos Alonso, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen have affected the team in a big way, while Raphinha and Joao Cancelo are also out for this one.

They’re still the top possession side in La Liga by a mile, and midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan will hold the key to this match.

Barca is seven points behind Real while also holding a match-in-hand on Girona.
