Real Madrid are looking to join Barcelona in a headline-grabbing Clásico for Spain’s first trophy of the year, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
LaLiga has only just resumed after a break for Christmas and New Year, yet Real Madrid, Barcelona, Athletic Club and Mallorca are already on another league hiatus as they take part in the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Which teams qualified for the 2025 Spanish Super Cup?
In theory, the winners and runners-up of both LaLiga and the Copa del Rey in the previous season qualify, although that is rarely the case with at least one team normally doubling up. This year’s competition features last season’s league winners and runners-up (Real Madrid and FC Barcelona) along with 2024 Spanish Cup winners and beaten finalists (Athletic Club and Real Mallorca).
Who are the semi-finals of the 2025 Spanish Super Cup? Who plays who?
Barcelona overcame Athletic 2-0 on Wednesday with goals from Gavi and Lamine.
Real Madrid faced Mallorca on Thursday night looking to give the organisers and sponsors exactly what they want: a Clásico final.
What happens if Spanish Super Cup matches are tied after 90 minutes?
As has been the case in recent editions of the Spanish Super Cup, matches that are all square after 90 minutes will go to extra time, composed of two periods of 15 minutes. If the two teams still can’t be separated, a penalty shootout will then take place.
Since the switch to the current four-team format in 2019-20, a number of matches have been decided by a shootout, including the 2020 final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid and both of last year’s semi-finals. Athletic Club defeated Barcelona in extra time in the 2021 final, while Madrid also beat Barça in overtime in the Clásico semi-final in 2022.
