Barcelona will play Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final this Sunday, Jan. 11, at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah. The focus is on Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal.

Barcelona reached the final after a 5-0 win over Athletic Club on Jan. 7, while Real Madrid advanced with a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Jan. 8.

Barcelona is the defending champion and record 15-time winner of the competition, whereas Real Madrid has 13 titles. The most recent league meeting between the sides ended 2-1 for Real Madrid on Oct. 26, 2025.

Both Mbappe, 27, and Yamal, 18, are key players for their clubs, despite the Frenchman's short time in the Spanish capital and Lamine having just three seasons with Barcelona's first team.

It is a good time to review their statistics.
