FC Barcelona has won the Spanish Super Cup for the second consecutive time, defeating Real Madrid 3-2 in the final held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This result in El Clásico, following their semi-final victory over Athletic Club, shows the club has started the season ambitiously.
According to editorial reports, Barcelona's win against Athletic Club on their way to the final marks their 16th Super Cup title overall. With this achievement, the club has surpassed their closest competitor, Real Madrid, who has 13 cups.
Barcelona first won the Spanish Super Cup in the 1983/1984 season. In subsequent years, the club has won this title in the 1991/92, 1992/93, 1994/95, 1996/97, 2005/06, 2006/07, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2013/14, 2016/17, 2018/19, 2022/23, 2024/25, and 2025/26 seasons.
This success makes Barcelona the first team to win the Super Cup as league champions in the last 8 seasons. At the same time, the club has also re-established its status as the first team to retain the cup since the consecutive 3 victories achieved during Pep Guardiola's era in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
