The white team is once again chasing the national title, aiming to lift the trophy that has become a symbol of dominance in Spanish football. Since the Spanish Super Cup began in 1982, Real Madrid has appeared in 17 finals, and on Wednesday, January 11, it reached the final of the 2023 edition. The club’s journey to this stage reflects a long-standing pattern of high-stakes appearances and dramatic showdowns on the biggest stage in Spanish football.
Real Madrid’s debut came in that very first edition, where they faced Real Sociedad and fell short. It would take until 1988 for the club to triumph, defeating FC Barcelona in the final. That initial victory launched a remarkable period of success, with the trophy returning to the Concha Espina side in subsequent years. The early run established a winning culture that continued as the competition evolved, with a string of titles that built Real Madrid’s legacy in the Super Cup format, including several consecutive victories that culminated in a modern era with four-team formats bringing new energy to the tournament.
Two finals in Arabia
In recent history, Real Madrid has delivered two Super Cup-winning performances in Saudi Arabia. The first came in 2020, when they defeated Atlético de Madrid from the penalty spot, a moment that underscored the team’s resilience in shootouts and high-pressure matches. The second triumph followed last year, with a 2-0 win against Athletic Club, reinforcing the club’s reputation for performing on neutral grounds and in foreign venues where the contest takes on a global spotlight.
As of today, Real Madrid stands ready to claim its 13th Super Cup crown, though that objective hinges on the outcome of the final against either Real Betis or Barcelona. The club has competed in the Super Cup eighteen times, a testament to its consistency at the top level and its ability to convert opportunities into trophies on a variety of stages.
