ภาษาไทย Real Madrid to Face Barcelona in Spanish Super Cup Final
Posted on January 09, 2026, updated on January 09, 2026
Real Madrid has advanced to the Spanish Super Cup final after a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. This semifinal, held in Saudi Arabia, showcased Madrid's resilience and skill, setting them up for a tantalizing clash against their arch-rivals, Barcelona.
Goals from Fede Valverde and Rodrygo secured the win for Madrid, despite Alexander Sorloth pulling one back for Atletico. This victory marks Madrid's fifth consecutive win across all competitions as they continue to gather momentum.
The win was particularly significant for manager Xabi Alonso, who has faced scrutiny over recent performances. With key player Kylian Mbappe absent due to injury, Alonso opted to keep young striker Gonzalo Garcia at the forefront, a decision that has proven beneficial.
As Barcelona waits following their dominant 5-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, the stage is set for a classic showdown in the final. Real Madrid will aim to leverage their recent form while Barcelona seeks to reclaim glory in this prestigious contest. Fans eagerly anticipate what could be a pivotal moment in this season's rivalry.
