Barcelona will pocket €2 million after edging Real Madrid in a dramatic 3-2 Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia.

The pulsating Clasico in Jeddah saw Barca prevail through goals from Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, extending their recent dominance over Madrid.

The Spanish FA will reward Barcelona with €2 million, while the beaten finalists, Real Madrid, take home €1.4 million.

Both teams now return to Spain with LaLiga firmly back in focus, as Barcelona maintain a four-point lead at the summit.

Beyond the money, the defeat reopened fierce debate over Xabi Alonso’s future at the Bernabeu.

Madrid have now lost five of their last six meetings with Barcelona, including three cup finals.

Although Vinicius Jr produced a moment of brilliance, Madrid’s deeper issues once again surfaced.

Alonso’s position had been questioned since late 2025 following a poor run of results.

Reports suggested the Super Cup final could shape Madrid’s decision-making.

According to club insiders, that decision was clear: Alonso would be backed.

Respected journalist Jose Felix Diaz insisted Madrid was focused on solutions rather than scapegoating.

He added that performance, not panic, would guide the club’s next steps.
