Spanish Super Cup 2021 Final: who are the top historical scorers of the tournament?
Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao came through their semi-finals in the new four-team format, but who have been the top all-time scorers in the showpiece games.
The Spanish Super Cup pits the winners of the previous season’s LaLiga against the champion of the Copa del Rey from the previous campaign. Historically this has been the case anyway, but has been changed recently to involve the teams that finish first and second in the league, and the two finalists of the cup, creating a semi-final stage before the final.
