Barcelona, in their first post-Lionel Messi final, and Real Madrid will meet this Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the Spanish Super Cup final.
The match will kick off at 16:00 in Argentina, broadcast by DSports and the DGo platform.
Barcelona will face its first definition since the farewell of Lionel Messi two seasons ago, when a process of rearmament and generational change began with more trouble than joy.
Indeed, the last title was the 2021 Copa del Rey when they beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0, with two goals from the Argentine. And that’s why it will be the coach’s chance, Xavi Hernándezto win his first star in a competition in which Barcelona lead with 13 Olympic laps.
“It’s been a long time since we last won titles. We have to show our desire, this is non-negotiable,” the coach said at a press conference.
“We will try to show our personality and from there, control their transitions and disarm them in defense where they are very strong,” added Xavi, one of Barcelona’s idols.
For its part, Real Madrid are the reigning champions and if they win this edition they will reach the line of their classic in history.
