Tonight (Sunday, January 11, 2026 / 21 Jadi), the world of football witnesses one of the most electrifying clashes in history: the 263rd El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final, at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Kabul 24: This marks the fourth consecutive Supercopa final between these Spanish giants, with Barcelona entering as defending champions after thrashing Real 5-2 in the same stadium last year. Hansi Flick’s side arrives in top form—nine straight wins, including a dominant 5-0 over Athletic Bilbao in the semi-final—hungry to claim a record 16th Supercopa title.
On the other side, Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid come into the match under immense pressure after a turbulent period. Los Blancos scraped through with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid in the semi (goals from Valverde and Rodrygo).
Victory tonight would deliver their first trophy of the season and ease mounting criticism; defeat would intensify it. The potential return of Kylian Mbappé from a minor injury could be the decisive factor.Historically, the rivalry remains razor-close: Real Madrid lead with 106 wins, Barcelona have 104, and 52 draws across 262 official meetings.
This clash is about more than silverware—it’s about pride, revenge (after Barcelona’s recent league defeat), and a powerful start to 2026.Kick-off: 11:30 PM Kabul time (19:00 UTC / 22:00 local Jeddah time).A perfect blend of legacy, superstars (Yamal, Lewandowski, Vinícius, Mbappé, Bellingham), and endless drama—one goal could change the entire season.
