How to watch the Spanish Super Cup match between Real Madrid and Mallorca, plus kick-off time and team info.
This Thursday, Real Madrid faces Mallorca in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup, a competition where the Merengues hope to continue their good momentum. With six wins and a draw in their last seven matches, the Madrilenians, led by an imperial Bellingham and a decisive Mbappé, are in sparkling form. These two players, accompanied by Valverde, Vinicius and Rodrygo, have scored 23 goals in this period, showing the impressive offensive power of the team led by Carlo Ancelotti.
Mallorca: a challenge not to be underestimated for Real
Despite its outsider status, Mallorca will not present itself as an expiatory victim. The Balearic team, after a contrasting career in La Liga, was able to find a balance thanks to key players like the Canadian Larin, the team’s top scorer with five goals, and to their effective direct play. However, the islanders remain irregular and struggle against the big clubs. At home, they recently suffered defeats against Barcelona (1-5) and Atlético Madrid (0-1).
Defensively, Mallorca relies on experienced elements like Maffeo, although the latter is at the heart of tensions with Vinicius. The two players, already involved in heated confrontations in the past, could yet be the protagonists of a muscular duel on the field.
A final against Barça in the sights
Real Madrid approaches this match with a double motivation: to win to qualify for the final, where they would face FC Barcelona on Sunday, and to show their superiority against a Mallorca team who will play without pressure. Barça, who beat Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening (2-0), is firmly awaiting its historic rival for a possible Clasico.
The Madrilenians will, however, have to avoid any relaxation and remain concentrated, particularly against the long balls and the physical play of Mallorca. A victory on Thursday would pave the way for a thrilling showdown in the final, further boosting Real Madrid’s ambitions this season.
