Spanish Super Cup: Barcelona Chase 100th Trophy Wins To Level Real Madrid In Highly Anticipated Final In Saudi Arabia
Written by Olaleye Oluwadamilola
With both clubs known for their long time bitter rivalry and with El Clasico always a memorable event amongs football fans around the globe, it gets even better when there is trophies at stake as it will be this Sunday in Riyadh when Barcelona and Real Madrid square off in the Spanish Super Cup final.
More Details
Both teams will be confident that they can overcome their fierce rivals and win the first prize of the Spanish football season in the process. After a trying few months under head coach Xavi Hernandez, this would be a major morale boost for Barcelona.
According to MD, if Barcelona prevailed on Sunday night, they would advance to 100 official honors. They reached 99 thanks to their La Liga success the previous season and they would break 100 if they won the Spanish Super Cup. Additionally, it would indicate a draw with Real Madrid, who are now at 100.
Barcelona will be hoping to match Real Madrid’s total, even though Xavi and his team are unlikely to find this to be an additional source of motivation. Alternatively, should Carlo Ancelotti’s team triumph in Riyadh, Los Blancos might go two games ahead of the Catalans.
Meanwhile…
Real Madrid is likely to need little more inspiration in Sunday’s El Clasico as they aim to reclaim the Spanish Supercup championship from Barcelona. In January of last year, the Blaugrana defeated Los Blancos, but if that wasn’t enough, club president Florentino Perez has now pledged to pad their wallets in anticipation of victory in Saudi Arabia.
Real Madrid enters the game on a high note after defeating local rivals Atletico Madrid and winning 12 of their previous 13 games. According to Defensa Central as relayed by Sport,, President Perez has agreed with the Real Madrid captains that each will receive a €150k bonus if they win, amounting to €4m in total.

The coaching staff and every member of the squad will have access to the money. The amount of money is almost half of what the RFEF would have paid them to enter the competition. Whether by choice or not, Perez is typically well-liked by the Real Madrid team. However, offering bonuses to your staff is a fantastic approach to win them over.
