There will be at least three Classics this season for Spanish football! The day after FC Barcelona’s victory over Athletic Bilbao (2-0), Real Madrid this Thursday won their place in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. This by disposing of Mallorca in its half, in a match which took a long time to settle (3-0).
Despite the magnitude of the final score, and a very clear domination, Carlo Ancelotti’s men had to wait until the hour mark to find the fault – by a Jude Bellingham with surgical precision facing a veritable Mallorcan wall on the goal line (1-0, 63e). A relief for a much more serene end to the match.
Barça advantage on the list
In added time, two more Madrid achievements could be observed. An own goal from the unfortunate Martin Valjent, first (2-0, 90e+2), under pressure from Kylian Mbappé, then a banner planted by Rodrygo before the final whistle (3-0, 90e+5).
It is therefore a poster between Real and Barça which will conclude this 2025 Spanish Super Cup on Sunday in Jeddah, as in the last two editions to date. If the Catalans had won in 2024, winning the trophy for the 14e time in their history (3-1), the White House last year took its revenge, registering its name on the competition list for the 13e times (4-1).
