Sports News of Monday, 12 January 2026Source: bbc.comBarcelona edged past Real Madrid in a five-goal thriller to win back-to-back Spanish Super Cup finals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It marked a 16th triumph in the tournament for Hansi Flick's side, with Barcelona also beating Los Blancos in last year's final. Brazilian forward Raphinha's floated shot in the 73rd minute proved to be the winner after a frantic ending to the first half. Late chances at both ends made for a nervy finale with Marcus Rashford shooting wide when clear, while Alvaro Carreras and then Raul Asencio both shot straight at goalkeeper Joan Garcia. But Barca held on to secure a second consecutive title for the first time since 2011.
