Who’s celebrating this time? Our tips for the Final Clásico

Edin Soso: Real Madrid 2:1 FC Barcelona

In contrast to the last Clásico at the end of October, the Royals are in much better shape, many of the small cogs are working together better and better, while Barça have shown more and more weaknesses since their triumph at the Bernabéu. In terms of individual form, I also see Real as being relatively clearly ahead at the moment – Bellingham, Mbappé, Camavinga and Valverde are in top form anyway, while Vinícius and Rodrygo are always good for goals and assists, especially in big games, and a final Clásico is big. It won’t be possible to keep a clean sheet, but Viní Jr. and Mbappé will still ensure the next title.

Rafael Obermaier: Real Madrid 0:1 FC Barcelona

I (unfortunately) predict a defeat Real Madrids in the final and a triumph for FC Barcelona. Barça has shown some weaknesses in recent weeks and lost ground in LaLiga, but in the final of the Supercopa de España the Catalans could be a little more motivated than the Royals – and win the title. Barça’s head coach Hansi Flick in particular will be particularly keen to win his first trophy with the Blaugrana. The fact that he is capable of winning with FC Barcelona Real Madrid He has already shown that he is capable of beating them 4-0 at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. But this time it will be a closer game!

Barça goes into the final with a slight psychological advantage due to their 4-0 victory in the first leg of the league. Nevertheless, I believe that Real is stable enough and, above all, has learned from it. Mbappé and Co. will not fall into the offside trap again. In addition, there are risks involved in being so high up the pitch – Real could have exploited this in the league. I see the Blancos’ offense as dynamic and imaginative enough to not only find the gaps this time, but to exploit them. And of course there is also the final factor – the opponent plays almost no role.

Nils Kern: Real Madrid 3:2 FC Barcelona

Goals? As always! Another 4-0 or 0-4 for one or the other? Also possible. I still think that both teams have their problems – Real in the full-backs, for example – and so goals will be scored on both sides. It almost looks like it will be 4-3, but since there are only 90 minutes, I’ll stick with 3-2. And as always: finals are not played, they are won. Vamos!
