The Spanish Super Cup final was held in Saudi Arabia, with Barcelona players wearing the soccer shirt and competing against Real Madrid for the championship. Ultimately, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2, successfully defending their title and securing their first trophy of the new year. This is also Barcelona's 16th Spanish Super Cup title in club history.

In this match, Araújo, wearing the number 4 FC Barcelona jersey, made his return at the last moment. After De Jong received a red card, Flick brought him onto the field. After the match, his teammates tossed Araújo into the air to celebrate his return, and Laporta also gave Araújo a hug. Araújo then lifted the Spanish Super Cup trophy as captain.

Following this match, including last season's Spanish Super Cup and the Spanish King's Cup final, Barcelona has now defeated Real Madrid three consecutive times in official competition finals, a first in the club's history.
