Real Madrid and Barcelona contest the 2025 Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday in Jeddah, and it promises to be another captivating episode of El Clásico. Both teams will enjoy their chances of taking the trophy back to Spain: for the whites it would be the third of the season so far, the Catalans the first.
Carlo Ancelotti stated during his press conference that there would be no surprises with Real Madrid’s lineup and that, according to Marca, it will be the same 11 players who started against Mallorca on Thursday. Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham are fit to play after suffering minor injuries.
For Barcelona the big dilemma is in the goals. Marca will hope Hansi Flick keeps faith in Wojciech Szczesny after his impressive performance in the semi-final against Athletic Club, while Sport claim Iñaki Peña will get the nod. Meanwhile, the returned Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will only be on the bench.
It will be a very interesting watch in Saudi Arabia. Barcelona won the first match of the season by a score of 4-0, but this match should be much closer. Real Madrid can be considered a marginal favorite given that their form in recent months has been better.
