Barcelona is prepared for more titles in 2025 after sealing the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
The Blaugrana edged out Clasico rivals Real Madrid with a 5-2 victory in Jeddah in a result that could impact the La Liga title race.
The pair are locked in the closest title fight in years and Atlético Madrid regained top spot over the weekend.
However, the strength of their performance and scoring five goals against their bitterest enemies could prompt them to look for more in Hansi Flick’s debut campaign.
French star Jules Kounde provided a perfect assist for Raphinha’s first goal of the night (and Barcelona’s third) and the defender believes this could be the start of a special run.
“This season we had not won any titles. Now we have a Clásico against Real Madrid! We were calm and patient and we knew that, by applying the game plan, we were going to win,” according to Diario AS.
“I am very happy and proud of the team. We had an advantage in goals and, after the expulsion, we faced the challenge and did not let it slip away.
“It gives us a confidence boost. “Now we have the title we wanted.”
Barcelona will play in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey in midweek and are on the verge of securing a place in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League at the end of January.
