Spanish Supercopa News

Former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué was questioned by a judge on Friday as part of judicial probe into the business deal that led to the Spanish Super Cup being hosted in Saudi Arabia.

Saturday's Madrid derby was typically feisty and had a controversial moment with yet another penalty to debate; in the end, the draw only benefited Barcelona in LaLiga's tight title race.

Against all odds and countless financial challenges, Joan Laporta is still standing, smiling, as Barcelona's club president. Underestimate him, and the club, at your peril.

Sunday's Spanish Supercopa final was exactly what the hosts had hoped for: a Clasico full of thrills, spills and -- most importantly -- superstars on show.

Hansi Flick said he was "really proud" of an "unbelievable" performance from his Barcelona team, after they fought back to thrash Real Madrid 5-2.
