Numbers achieved by Barcelona in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup

This is the first time in Barcelona's history that they have won two consecutive domestic Super Cup titles at the expense of rivals Real Madrid, after winning 5-2 in the 2025 final.

For the first time since the 2018 edition won by Barcelona, ​​the previous season's domestic league champion has won the Spanish Super Cup.

This is the first time since 2011 that Barca have won the domestic Super Cup twice in a row, as the Catalan giants won the Super Cup in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

For his part, German coach Hansi Flick of Barcelona continued his dominance over Real Madrid by achieving victory in his fifth encounter against Los Blancos, following four wins last season.

Last season, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 4-0 and 4-3 in the league, 5-2 in the Super Cup, and 3-2 in the King's Cup final.

Despite Real Madrid's 2-1 victory in this season's league Clasico, Flick was not present at the time due to suspension.

Brazilian Rafinha became the second player to score 4 goals in a single edition of the Spanish Super Cup, after Aritz Aduriz in 2015, who did so with Athletic Bilbao against Barca.
