After a hard-fought win over Atlético Madrid to extend their lead at the top of the La Liga table, Barcelona have made the long trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the 2023 Spanish Super Cup as they search for their first trophy of the season.
The new format introduced a few years ago has four teams playing in a Final Four format, with two semi-finals and a title game to be played on Sunday. Barça will face Real Betis on Thursday and meet the winner of Wednesday’s semi between Real Madrid and Valencia, so the chance of an El Clásico to decide the title is very much alive.
