The two teams will face off for the trophy on Sunday after Barcelona triumphed over Athletic Club in the semi-finals and Real Madrid defeated Mallorca the following day.
This will be the third consecutive El Clasico final in the Supercopa de Espana and the second encounter between these Spanish powerhouses this season, following Barcelona’s dominant 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. In his second season with the club, Inigo Martinez is set to play in his first final for Barcelona and hopes to secure his first trophy with them.
Speaking to Barca One, Martinez highlighted that the team has pinpointed Madrid’s weaknesses and is ready to capitalize on them.
“We know exactly what we need to do, where to target Real Madrid, and where they can be vulnerable,” he said. “We are approaching this match with confidence, supported by a talented squad. We’re highly motivated and eager. This is the first trophy of the year, and we are determined to win it, as it will provide momentum for the rest of our campaigns.”
Real Madrid currently leads La Liga, while Barcelona has slipped to third place after a rough patch, marking a stark contrast to their strong form earlier this season.
