Barcelona

The team under the leadership of Flick showed good efficiency. Last season, which was the debut for the coach in Spain, he successively took the Super Cup, Primera and Copa del Rey here, and only in the Champions League was a failure with Inter. True, after the holidays, in the current climate, it was a rather difficult start. The situation was rectified only before the winter, as a result of which a rather comfortable advantage of four points was created.

The year 2026 is getting off to a good start, despite Yamal’s health problems and the fact that after Ter Stegen, it seems that the management quarreled with another veteran, Lewandowski. Nothing, and Espanyol were beaten 2:0 in the derby, and Atlético, already within the framework of the Super Cup, shipped five goals without an answer.

Real Madrid

The club did not win a single trophy in 2025 – for someone who is used to constant and maximum success, this is a serious blow. Yes, Ancelotti was found to be mainly guilty, and it was not for nothing that he was not allowed to work even at the Club World Cup in the summer, letting him coach the Brazilian national team immediately after it became clear that after failures in the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League, they lost to Barcelona in the Primera Division and even in the final of the Copa del Rey.

But now the pressure is growing on Xabi Alonso as well. After all, he lost to PSG in the summer at the Club World Cup, and in November-December he lost his advantage in La Liga. They wrote, secretly, that there have long been rumors about the possible resignation of the young coach, which will come true if he does not win the trophy now. Well, they managed to beat their first opponent, Atlético, even if only 2:1.

Statistics of personal meetings

Before the mentioned October 2:1, last season, the Catalans won all four face-to-face matches, and only in the cup did they achieve this in extra time.

Forecast

Bookmakers have a little more faith in nominal hosts. It is worth betting on Barcelona, ​​but with a handicap of 0 (coefficient – 1.64).
