This is unprecedented territory for Real Madrid. They've now lost three consecutive finals, and all at the hands of their rivals Barcelona. 2025 Supercopa, 2025 Copa del Rey and now the 2026 Supercopa. Will Xabi Alonso have time to turn it around?

VICTORY for Barcelona! An absolute thriller in Jeddah is won in the end by the Blaugrana. It is their first trophy of the 2025-26 season. It is their second-successive Spanish Super Cup title. Raphinha with two goals, Lewandowski with one. 

FT | FCB 3-2 RMA

90+6' Oh dear! Alvaro Carreras botches his shot. Ball rolled into the box, could've been met by a number of players but it was Carreras who got the final shot in. It's held on to by Joan Garcia. 

FCB 3-2 RMA

90+5' Marcus Rashford dispossesses Carreras in his own half, and then is sent through on goal. He is 1v1 with Courtois, but he fires it wide! Real Madrid are still alive.

FCB 3-2 RMA

90+3' Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo makes his first appearance in more than a month. A big stage to make his re-entry, following a well-documented break due to mental health struggles. Lamine Yamal makes way.

FCB 3-2 RMA

90+1' Red card for Frenkie de Jong! Barcelona's on-field captain has been sent off for a high challenge on Mbappe. Caught Mbappe on the shin, and the referee immediately showed the red card.

5 minutes of stoppage time added on.

FCB 3-2 RMA

82' End of Vinicius Jr's night. He has dazzled today and arguably been the best player on the pitch. But he won't be there to help Madrid find the late equaliser. A stunning solo goal to break his 16-game goal drought.

Franco Mastantuono replaces Vini Jr. Dani Ceballos is on for Camavinga.

David Alaba replaces Dean Huijsen as well.

FCB 3-2 RMA

74' GOAL, Raphinha! It is a deflection off Eduardo Camavinga that wrongfoots Thibaut Courtois, and the ball goes into the net. Barcelona regain the lead, with around 15 minutes of regulation time left. 

FCB 3-2 RMA

71' Top save! Opportunistic shot inside the box from Lamine Yamal after a great pass by Kounde, but Courtois makes a great save with cat-like reflexes. Mbappe has been summoned by Xabi Alonso.

FCB 2-2 RMA

66' Two switches for Barcelona. One change for Real Madrid. Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopz are off, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo are on. Ferran is Barcelona's top goalscorer this season.

FCB 2-2 RMA

62' Vinicius and Rodrygo combining excellently, and it ends with a shot from the latter that is saved by Joan Garcia. Moments earlier, Garcia had dropped the ball inside his own box, but Barcelona defended well.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe is warming up.

57' Foul by Raul Asencio to stop Pedri on a counter-attack. Asencio is shown a yellow card, and soon after a scrap between Raphinha and Fede Valverde sees the latter booked. Eric Garcia also gets involved and is booked.

FCB 2-2 RMA

51' Chance, Vinicius! He creates this one all by himself. Vinicius cuts in from the left, shoots at goal hard from the edge of the box, which is saved by Joan Garcia. Vinicius is quickest to react to a loose rebound, but shoots it over the bar. 

FCB 2-2 RMA

46' The second half is underway! Real Madrid attacking from right to left now. Early chance created by Vinicius Jr once again, who drives in from the left. Moments later, a sloppy pass sends Raphinha through on the counter, but Madrid defend well. 

FCB 2-2 RMA

Vinicius Jr has now equalled Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Ferenc Puskas for the most goal contributions by a Real Madrid player in finals. All players have 16 goal contributions in finals.

And breathe! What an incredible end to the first half. The match started off as a slow-burner, but Raphinha's goal started things off. Vinicius Jr equalised with an outstanding solo goal, dribbling past multiple defenders in stoppage time. Lewandowski gave Barca the lead again, but Gonzalo struck back to make it 2-2. What a game we have on our hands! Don't go anywhere folks.

HT | FCB 2-2 RMA

45+6' GOAL! Real Madrid equalise again! 3 goals in 5 minutes! Threatening corner from Rodrygo, Vinicius' header hits the bar, a scrap for the rebound but it's tucked home by Gonzalo Garcia!

FCB 1-1 RMA

41' Barcelona have all the momentum right now. Another chance for them, as Pedri sets up Yamal who drives in and fires at goal. Thibaut Courtois makes the save, it was a tight angle for Yamal. Barcelona have completely taken over this match at the moment.

FCB 1-0 RMA

37' GOAL! Raphinha strikes! Sensational! Seconds after missing a sitter, Raphinha takes a shot from a much harder angle and slams it past Thibaut Courtois to give Barcelona the lead. What a finish from the Brazilian.

FCB 1-0 RMA

33' Should've done better! Gonzalo Garcia is on-side, under pressure from Pau Cubarsi but the goal was in front of him. His shot is weak, and it's an easy save by Joan Garcia. Real Madrid miss another chance.

Moments later, Raphinha cuts it back for Fermin Lopez at the other end, but good defensive work by Carreras sees Fermin scuff the shot.

FCB 0-0 RMA

30' Half an hour complete in the first half between Barcelona and Real Madrid. A big chance for Madrid was missed by Vinicius, who has looked bright so far. Barcelona have had a shot too, which was saved by Courtois. The match still in third gear, though.

FCB 0-0 RMA

15' Vinicius skips away from Kounde and is through on goal, but his shot is straight at Joan Garcia. Gonzalo Garcia had not made the run into the box, so Vinicius had to go for goal, but it is saved. Bright start, nonetheless, by Vini Jr.

FCB 0-0 RMA

9' A bright start by Real Madrid's star forward Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian has already made a couple of dangerous runs down the left, winning the first corner of the match. Remember, he hasn't scored in his last 16 matches.

FCB 0-0 RMA

6' Barcelona are making early in-roads, particularly down the right flank, with Pedri and Lamine Yamal in the thick of things. A cross from Jules Kounde towards Robert Lewandowksi is just about cleared away by Real Madrid's 20-year-old defender Dean Huijsen.

FCB 0-0 RMA

1' WE ARE LIVE! Barcelona kick us off the Spanish Super Cup final. The Blaugrana are attacking from right to left. A foul early on from Eduardo Camavinga on Fermin Lopez, on the right flank.

FCB 0-0 RMA

We are just 10 minutes away from the start of the Supercopa de Espana final in Jeddah. Barcelona and Real Madrid are battling for their first trophy of the 2025-26 season. Gear up folks, it's almost time!

Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Pedri have all had good seasons so far for Barcelona, but arguably the team's best player has been goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Signed in the summer, Garcia has made incredible saves in several matches already, and has grown into an indispensable player for the club.

If Vinicius gets 2 or more goal contributions tonight, he will become the player with the most goal contributions in finals in Real Madrid history. Currently, Vinicius has 15 G/A in finals.

Most G/A in finals for Real Madrid:

16: Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Ferenc Puskas

15: Vinicius Jr

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has gone 16 consecutive matches without scoring a goal, in what is his roughest patch of form in recent years. The Brazilian's performances have not been up to the standard that saw him contending for the Ballon d'Or in 2024. Can he break the duck tonight?

FC Barcelona are in fantastic form. Hansi Flick's side have not lost a match in more than a month, and have not even conceded a single goal in their last five games. However, if any team can break the run, surely it's Real Madrid, who are one of only four teams to beat Barcelona this season.

Real Madrid's top-scorer Kylian Mbappe missed the semi-final against Atletico Madrid due to a left knee sprain. However, he arrived in Saudi Arabia ahead of the final after making a swifter recovery than expected. It's not enough to start, but he will almost certainly come on as a substitute.

This is the fourth straight El Clasico final in the Supercopa de Espana. In the last three seasons, the winner of the Supercopa has also gone on to win the La Liga title. That could be an omen both sides look to capitalize on tonight.

Not much of a surprise with regards to Barcelona's playing XI. Lewandowski starts up top, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha on either side. Fermin Lopez starts ahead of Dani Olmo. Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia is the centre-back pairing.

Okay, this is interesting. Real Madrid had initially posted on social media that Gonzalo Garcia was not in the playing XI. However, that post has been deleted, and their latest official post states that Gonzalo is IN. Kylian Mbappe on the bench, having recently returned from injury.

¡Nuestro XI inicial!
