FC Barcelona secured the Spanish Super Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in Jeddah on Sunday. Raphinha’s brace and a decisive strike from Robert Lewandowski sealed the win for Hansi Flick’s side, earning the club a €2 million reward. Real Madrid, as runners-up, received €1.4 million.
The victory strengthens Barcelona’s dominance in recent Clasicos, marking five wins in six encounters over Real Madrid, including three cup finals. Despite the defeat, Real Madrid have confirmed that manager Xabi Alonso’s position remains secure. Analysts note that the Super Cup final offers Alonso a chance to address team issues rather than face immediate dismissal.
Both clubs now return to Spain to focus on the LaLiga title race. Barcelona currently tops the table with a four-point lead over Real Madrid, intensifying the domestic rivalry as Alonso seeks to stabilize the squad ahead of crucial league fixtures.
