Barcelona will have Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor available for Sunday’s Spanish Super Cup final after receiving a precautionary measure earlier this week, although it is not certain that either player will be in line to start against Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia.
Olmo would be the most likely in the lineup, but as Hansi Flick told the media in his pre-match press conference (via MD), Gavi will most likely retain his place after a great performance against Athletic Club in the semifinal.
“Gavi played at a high level in the last game. It gives different elements to the team. I haven’t decided yet, although he has experience that he can do anything. This is the most important thing. I think Gavi is going to play, although I’m not one hundred percent sure of the lineup.”
Flick also spoke about the debate about the goalkeepers he will face ahead of the Superclásico. Wojciech Szczesny started against Athletic after Iñaki Peña was suspended for arriving late to a Barcelona training session, and although the Polish veteran impressed, the situation could return to the way it was in the final months of 2024.
“You know I never talk about the starting eleven and I’m not going to do it. We played a good game and Iñaki had a fantastic first half (of the season). In Spain there is a different mentality. Outside everyone is talking. They are all professionals. “They are special games and we have to be prepared.”
