He Real Madrid faces this Super Cup final with the peace of mind that their players who ended up with slight discomfort in the semi-finals (Valverde and Bellingham) will not miss this new Classic against Barcelona. This good news will allow Carlo Ancelotti to insist on his idea, which is to use the same eleven as in the clash against the Vermillions. The trident above (Vinicius, Mbappé and Rodrygo) configures the 4-3-3 with which the white team will presumably start at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) at 8:00 p.m.
A plan that does not contemplate retouching the center of the Madrid field either, with Camavinga again as a pivot after his magnificent recent performance in the Copa del Rey and against Mallorca in that position. Valverde and Bellingham, the first with his display and threat with shots from distance, and the Englishman, who has become a total footballer, will be his companions ahead. Modric will be available after missing the semis due to the flu, but his role will once again be to provide consistency and class from the bench, in his role as first substitute for the middle of the field.
No news is expected at the back either. Ferland Mendy, so often in a precarious physical situation, will repeat as three with the difficult mission of trying to beat Lamine Yamal. Tchouameni will once again form as Rüdiger’s partner, given that the scare he suffered with the blow to the head in the semifinals does not prevent him from lining up in the final. Asencio, one of the protagonists in the final stretch of that match, will have to wait again for his opportunity from the bench.
