Barça-Real Madrid: all out for a place in the Super Cup final
Reigning champions and winners of the last five editions, our team gears up for the semi-final Clásico (6:30pm CEST).
Real Madrid get their 2023/24 season underway this evening at the Palacio de los Deportes in Murcia as they take on Barça in the semi-final of the Endesa Super Cup. Real Madrid is the current champion of the competition and the most successful club with nine titles, the last five of which have been won consecutively. In addition, they face Barça in a Clásico that will be a repeat of the last four finals.
Quite a dish to start off with. Madrid go into today's game in a tournament in which they are the great dominators, having won eight of the last 11 editions and accumulated a perfect record of victories since 2018. A total of 10 consecutive victories, a tournament record, which they could extend this weekend. Barça have three fewer titles, the last in 2015.

Chus Mateo's side have retained the core of the players who lifted the Undécima last May in Kaunas, in addition to the arrival of a superstar at the helm: Facundo Campazzo. The point guard has shown in preseason that he does not need to adapt to the team and that he will be one of the leaders from the start. For their part, the Catalonians have undergone a transformation after the departures of Higgins, Kuric, Mirotic and Sanly and the arrivals of Brizuela, Parra, Parker and Willy Hernángomez.
Experience
The record between the two teams in the Super Cup favours Real Madrid by seven wins to five, having beaten Los Azulgranas in the last four finals Madrid 2019, Tenerife 2020 and 2021 and Sevilla 2022. Experience could be another of the small differences that decide a game like the Clásico. All of our first team players know what it is like to win this trophy. Two of them, Llull and Rudy, are at the top of the list with 8 titles each. Another exciting season begins this evening, starting at 6.30pm.
