FC Barcelona won their last Spanish Super Cup in 2018. On that occasion, the Catalan side, who were coached by Ernesto Valverde, won 1-2 against Sevilla with goals from Gerard Pique and Ousmane Dembele.
Four and a half years on, a lot has changed at the Catalan club. Lionel Messi left, Joan Laporta returned to the presidency and there have even been many changes of coaches and players.
Without going any further, the current squad only keeps five players who were present in that final against the Andalusian team: Jordi Alba, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Sergio Busquets, Dembele and Sergi Roberto.
In this way, Xavi Hernandez and most of his players will have the opportunity to win their first Spanish Super Cup and to close the gap on Madrid, as the 'Merengues' have won six of seven 'super finals' played against Barca.
This title could also serve as a boost for the 'Cules' to heal the wound left by their elimination from the Champions League. Undoubtedly, a win against Madrid could be a big kick in the pants for the Catalans.
