Super cup

[helbawi]

Since barcelona have already won this years copa del rey against athletico bilbao and have almost won la liga, who is going to play in the spanish super cup?

 

[helbawi]

Does this mean that barcelona automatically win the spanish super cup?

 

[TiTi]

No, the winner of La Liga and Copa will play against the finalist of Copa for Super Cup.

 

[helbawi]

so barcelona will play athletico bilbao again for the super cup?

It depends ..There has been cases where the double winner were automatically awarded the Super Cup..But the last few times a team has won the double , they played against the losing finalist of the Copa and the holders have lost both the times(i think) it has happened!

 

[TiTi]

But this year we'll play against Bilbao again.

Bilbao

I heard in another website that we are facing madrid because they came second in the league. Not sure though.

Why is it two legged ? In Scotland we don't have a Super Cup and in England it's just a one-off at Wembley.

It happened before and the losing side in the copa faced the winner of the double. I cant see it changing. Although of course a fcb-madrid match would be a great precursor for the season, especially with florentino's signings on show, and pep's magestic team.

Have Bilbao beaten us at all in the obscene number of times we've played em this season? Seriously, it feels like i've watched 4 or 5 Barca-Bilbao games
