Barcelona wins Spanish Super Cup, gets €2m prize money
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah on Sunday. A brace from Raphinha and a goal from Robert Lewandowski sealed the win for Hansi Flick's team. The Royal Spanish Football Federation will pay Barcelona €2 million for winning the trophy. Real Madrid, as runner-up, will receive €1.4 million. Both teams now return to Spain for LaLiga action. Barcelona currently sits top of the LaLiga table, four points ahead of second-place Real Madrid. With the season nearing its midpoint, will Barcelona's cup victory give them the momentum to extend their league lead, or can Real Madrid close the gap in domestic competition?
