Supercopa de España
This article describes the Super Cup competition in Spanish football. For the indoor football competition, see Supercopa de España de Fútbol Indoor; for the basketball competition, see Supercopa de España de Baloncesto.
The Supercopa de España (German: Spanischer Supercup) is a Spanish football competition first held in 1982 and played annually between the Spanish champions and the Spanish Cup winners until 2018. Since 2019, two additional clubs play for the title.
Between 1996 and 2018, if a club won both the championship and the cup, it had to play the losing finalist of the cup competition in the Supercup. Until 1995, the Double winner was automatically awarded the Supercup trophy. This case occurred twice in the history of the competition: in 1984 and 1989, Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid respectively won the Super Cup in this way.
The previous competitions were the Copa de Campeones (1940), the Copa Presidente Federación Española de Fútbol (1941), the Copa de Oro Argentina ("Argentine Gold Cup", 1945/46), and the Copa Eva Duarte (1947-1953, named after Eva Duarte de Perón).
Until 2017, the winner of the Supercopa de España was always decided in a first and second leg at the finalists' stadiums. In 2018, for the first time, only one match was played at a neutral venue. A further change to the format was announced in February 2019, with four teams now playing for the title, including the two cup finalists and the two best-placed teams in the league that did not make it to the cup final.
The pairings are dominated by the three clubs FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, who have met each other several times (7 times Barcelona-Real, 5 times Atlético-Barcelona, 2 times Atlético-Real). A Supercopa without one of these three clubs occurred for the first time in 2000 and only three times in total (2000, 2002, 2004). The record marks of the competition are set by FC Barcelona (record Supercup winner with 13 successes and also the record participant with 23 participations). The record player and record goalscorer in the Supercopa, with 20 games and 14 goals respectively for Barcelona, is Argentina's Lionel Messi, who also has the most success as an individual player in the competition with eight titles.
