Correct Answer :   Barcelona

Barcelona have won the Spanish Super Cup 2023 for the first time since the competition was revamped and moved to Saudi Arabia with a 3-1 victory over Real Madrid.
 
* Robert Lewandowski, Gavi and Pedri scored a goal each at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh on Sunday (15th Jan 2023) to give Barcelona its first Super Cup trophy since 2018, and the first since the tournament’s Final-Four format began in 2020 in a lucrative deal for the Spanish football federation.
 
* It was also Barcelona’s first title since former player Xavi took over as the team’s coach in 2021, and since Lionel Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain.
 
* Gavi opened the scoring in the 33rd minute from close range after a pass by Lewandowski, who doubled the lead after an assist by Gavi in a breakaway just before the end of the first half.
 
* Gavi also set up Pedri’s close-range goal in another breakaway in the 69th.
 
* Karim Benzema scored a consolation for Madrid late in stoppage time.
 
* This was Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti’s first defeat in a final since 2014.
 
* Barcelona have now won the Super Cup a record 14 times. Madrid have 12 to their name...
