A Clasico is always a special match, even in the Spanish Super Cup. After defeating Bilbao and Mallorca respectively, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid find themselves in the Super Cup final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. For this meeting, the two teams will be able to count on an almost complete squad, with in particular the confirmation of the return to the pitch of Lamine Yamal on the Catalan side, he who played an hour against Bilbao after being away from the field for almost a month. He would share the front of the attack with Lewandowski and Raphinha, supported by Gavi positioned at number 10 in Hansi Flick’s 4-2-3-1. In midfield, Casado and Pedri would form the double pivot in front of a line of four defenders where we would find Jules Koundé, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez and Alejandro Baldé. Finally, Wojciech Szczesny would remain in the cages after his good performance against Bilbao in the absence of Ter Stegen.

On the Madrid side, the Vinicius-Mbappé-Bellingham triplet should obviously be lined up from the start, supported by Rodrygo on the right wing of a 4-2-3-1 also favored by Ancelotti. The double pivot here would be made up of Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde. In the absence of Militao, Aurélien Tchouaminé should continue to play the fireman in central defense, alongside the German Rudiger. In the defense corridors, Lucas Vázquez and Ferland Mendy should start. The Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, in excellent form for several weeks, would be present to guard the cages.
