Barcelona and Real Madrid will contest the Spanish Super Cup final for the fourth year running as El Clásico is revived on Sunday.
How to Watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid
El Clásico will take center stage in Jeddah on Sunday when Barcelona and Real Madrid will duke it out for the Spanish Super Cup for a fourth consecutive year. La Liga's dominant duo account for 38 of the 51 Super Cup crowns handed out to date, though Barca is looking to become the first back-to-back winner in 15 years.
Hansi Flick's side dominated Athletic Club 5-0 in their semi-final to book a spot in this weekend's title match, with four of those goals coming before the half-time interval. Meanwhile, Real beat city rival Atletico 2-1 in an overseas Madrid derby to reach the deciding fixture, aiming to clinch its 14th Super Cup and move within one of Barcelona's all-time record.
Sunday's showdown will be the second edition of El Clásico played this season, with Real having won the opening salvo 2-1 when the teams met back in October. That being said, Barca was undefeated in four meetings prior to that, including a 5-2 hammering in last year's Super Cup showcase.
Flick's men currently occupy first place in La Liga and have already opened up a gap over Xabi Alonso's outfit in his first season as Real boss. However, the Liverpool legend has a huge opportunity to turn things around by landing his first piece of silverware in the role.
