Kika Nazareth challenges Real Madrid ahead of the women's Supercopa final

Barça face Real Madrid in the final in Castelló, aiming for their first trophy of the season.

FC Barcelona's women's team is one step away from winning its first trophy of the year. After eliminating Athletic Club in the semi-finals, the Blaugrana team will face Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Saturday 24 January at 19:00.

The record between the two teams is emphatic: 21 wins for Barça and only one for Madrid in 22 meetings. In the Barça dressing room, the ambition remains intact. Kika Nazareth says they never tire of beating Real Madrid and that these matches are the most eagerly awaited of the season. The player stresses that the aim is to win everything, because that is what it means to play for Barça.

The 2026 Spanish Super Cup is being played in Castelló, at the Castalia stadium, which has a capacity of 15,500 spectators. The choice of venue has prompted debate because of the limited capacity and the scant promotion of the event. The possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia was even considered, an option that does not convince many footballers. Nazareth sees it as positive that the final is being held in Spain, although she acknowledges that she would like to play in front of a larger crowd. She also highlights the importance of giving visibility to cities that are less usual hosts of major finals.
