Real Madrid’s victory in the Intercontinental Cup was a significant achievement, but despite this success it will not be able to complete a historic Sextuple.
The Spanish giants, under Carlo Ancelotti, had already won the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, Champions League, European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup in the same calendar year.
However, their failure to win the Copa del Rey meant they were unable to match the feat of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, who managed to secure all six trophies in one year.
Barcelona is you
The rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid has been further fueled by a recent publication by FC Barcelona, published just one day after Real Madrid’s triumph in Doha.
The post celebrated 15 years of Barcelona’s remarkable sextuple in 2009, a moment in football history that remains unmatched to this day.
The publication included a message about the six titles won that year, which caused a wave of reactions, especially among Barcelona fans, who took the opportunity to remind their rivals of what they had achieved.
The unforgettable year
It should be noted that the year 2009 is deeply etched in the history of FC Barcelona and world football.
Under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, Barcelona reached unprecedented heights, not only achieving a level of footballing brilliance unmatched at the time, but also making history by winning the Sextuple.
This feat, which remains a milestone in the club’s legacy, was finally equaled by Bayern Munich in 2020 under Hansi Flick.
That year, Barcelona not only won; They hypnotized the world. Guardiola’s tactical approach, known for its emphasis on positional play, elevated the team to art.
It was a time when the talent cultivated at La Masía was on full display, showcasing the club’s unique ability to combine local talent with world-class performance, something that remains difficult for any club to replicate.
