A continual battle has emerged since the beginning of futsal as these two titans have vied for countless triumphs. Demonstrated clearly earlier in the current campaign, as Inter Movistar assuredly thrashed Barça in their surprising first meeting ever in the final of the Copa de España with the reflective scoreline of 6-1 in late March.
This particular cup that is being fought for this week is distinct from all others as it has evaded Barcelona's trophy cabinet throughout several seasons. The Catalans have only picked up the title in 2013 and in 2019 where on both occasions their advancement to the final was from their success in the Copa Del Rey.
While, Inter Movistar have been the ultimate supremisits in the history of the Supercopa's history, clinching the title 13 times, more than double of any other side.
City Rivalry:
The major Spanish cities of Madrid and Barcelona have always competed vigorously with each other, depicted by the thrilling El Clásicos we often see in football. The fierce rivalry has evolved in since the breakthrough of the cities' two football clubs.
Real Madrid and Barcelona is dated back to 1902 and has been a spectacle in Europe like no other as we see teams with almost equal quality and ambition face off.
Fans gather from around the world to devote their support in favour of their club and collide in a competitive encounter.
Commentator Ray Hudson expressed his feelings about the iconic El Clásico: "Really it's the quality of football that it comes down to, at a very high tempo pace. The type of artistry that you just don't see anywhere else in the world." He added that, "Obviously it's the greatest game on planet Earth," which accentuates how it is one of the most outstanding matchups in sport as a whole.

Approximately 600km apart from one another, yet the rivalry is no where near an absence.
The phenomenal game has related to the futsal world. Inter have dominated the futsal scene for decades while Barça are just beginning to establish themselves over the last 20 years. A thrilling contest and almost a replica in terms of intensity and competitiveness as the two leading world futsal teams collide once again.
