Real Madrid secured their place in the final of the Supercopa de España on Thursday, defeating RCD Mallorca 3-0 under the guidance of Jagoba Arrasate. Despite the Mallorca side managing to keep a clean sheet until the 63rd minute, Jude Bellingham’s goal hit them like a cold shower, after which they were completely dominated by Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Therefore, Real Madrid advances to face Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona in the final.
Post-match, Manu Carreño reached out to Tomás Roncero on El Larguero to get his take on the game. The sports journalist highlighted that all players fielded by Real Madrid were registered before New Year’s Eve. This was meant to express his frustration with the urgent precautionary measure granted by the Higher Council for Sports (CSD) to Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, allowing them to continue playing for FC Barcelona in the second half of the season: “Real Madrid started the match with all players registered before New Year’s Eve.”

He is quite certain that the players stepping onto the pitch next Sunday for the eagerly anticipated Supercopa final “will also have been registered before New Year’s Eve.” This, however, is not the case with FC Barcelona, who may field both Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, following the CSD’s precautionary measures.
As a result, Tomás Roncero believes that Real Madrid is the only pure finalist of the tournament: “There are others who do their things and will not be pure. But, well, it’s a Clásico and we will have fun. If Madrid wins, it will be three out of three.” The white outfit has the chance to add their third title of the season to their collection. After winning the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, Ancelotti’s side could lift their third trophy and keep the dream of winning up to seven titles in a single season alive.

Can the Controversial ‘Olmo Case’ Rule Be Changed?
After hearing his thoughts on Real Madrid as the only pure finalist of the tournament, Manu Carreño asked Tomás Roncero about the fans’ anger regarding the CSD’s decision to grant precautionary measures to Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, enabling them to continue wearing the blaugrana jersey. The sports journalist understands the widespread anger, even though the white club has not publicly commented on the subject: “There is a fierce rivalry, personalized and institutional with La Liga, but I believe that Madrid, although I understand they may not want to confess this to Tebas, should prioritize addressing this fraudulent feeling that Madridistas and all of Spanish football, except for Barça, are experiencing.”
Remembering that clubs like Athletic Club, Atlético de Madrid, and Las Palmas have openly criticized the CSD’s decision, claiming it adulterates the competition, Tomás Roncero explained that the opinion of Madridistas does not always align with the official line of the club. Despite Real Madrid not making a public comment, the general sentiment is that an injustice is being perpetrated: “Madridistas are very upset and would like the club to say there’s no pass.” This is primarily because any outcomes from now on could precipitate significant problems: “If Barça wins on Sunday with a goal from Dani Olmo, which could happen, it would be the ultimate insult.”
