Real Madrid vs. Barcelona live score: Spanish Super Cup final result, updates, stats as Clasico rivals clash in Supercopa

Real Madrid and Barcelona meet once more in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

Los Blancos eased past Mallorca 3-0 at the semifinal stage in 2025, a day after Barca had defeated Athletic Club 2-0.

These two teams met in the previous two Supercopa finals, the Catalans winning 3-1 in 2023 before Madrid gained revenge last year with a 4-1 win.

Barca claimed a famous 4-0 La Liga victory at the Santiago Bernabeu back in October, but who will emerge triumphant this time?

1 hour 30 mins before kickoff: One of the big questions for this game is whether Dani Olmo features. Barca's temporary permission to register him and Pau Victor has caused huge controversy in Spain, and no doubt Madrid will have something to say if either player is involved in a meaningful way here.

2 hours before kickoff: Once again, we have a Clasico final in the Spanish Super Cup.

Real Madrid vs. Barcelona kick off time

The Supercopa de Espana final kicks off in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at 10 p.m. local time.

Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories:

Luka Modric missed the semifinal due to illness but is expected to be available for the final, giving Madrid a largely clean bill of health.

Ancelotti will likely stick with the 4-2-3-1 setup that has restored some of the defensive balance his team were missing in the early part of the season, so he could name an unchanged lineup from the Mallorca game.

Barca also find themselves at close to full strength, and the temporary reprieve granted by the Spanish court to allow Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to play means both players are available for selection for this game.

Wojciech Szczesny played in goal against Athletic after Inaki Pena fell foul of coach Hansi Flick's strict punctuality rules, but the latter could be restored for the final.

Ronald Araujo will likely not be involved as he negotiates a move away this month.
