Real Madrid fans are still buzzing after a tense 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid booked a Spanish Super Cup final date with Barcelona. Federico Valverde’s early strike and a sharp Rodrygo finish were enough to seal it, even as the game spilt beyond football with touchline drama involving Diego Simeone and Vinicius Junior.
The heated semifinal, fully broken down by SoftFootball, only added fuel to what is now another El Clasico showdown. Across social media, reactions came fast and emotional, mixing excitement, frustration, and rivalry fatigue.
With Barcelona also cruising past Athletic Club 5-0 in the other semi-final, as reported by SoftFootball, fans already feel the final tension creeping in days early. Some were less thrilled about the predictability of Spanish football. @CFCMods, clearly venting frustration at seeing the same giants dominate domestic trophies year after year, summed it up bluntly.

La Liga is so ass and boring man these two clubs battle it out for the Super Cup, Copa Del Rey and La Liga title every single year.
Others leaned fully into the rivalry. With confidence dripping, @CfcBlay didn’t hide where he stands ahead of the final.

All I can say is that pray for Barcelona.
It was less analysis and more raw fan bravado, the kind El Clásico always brings out.
Not everyone was convinced Madrid will finish the job, though. One neutral-sounding voice acknowledged the win but shifted focus quickly.
@Lhzzr shared:
Good win, but the final belongs to Barcelona.
For many, the moment itself mattered more than predictions. @favourlee_001 captured the wider feeling simply, pointing out the inevitability of it all

Another El Clasico final is upon us.
Tactical debates also crept in. A Madrid supporter aiming criticism and praise in equal measure targeted the manager’s choices.

Rodry goes is the key Alonso you were stupid but now u got the sense.
With Kylian Mbappe expected back and emotions already boiling, January 11 feels less like a final and more like a football storm waiting to hit.
