The wait is over, today we will have the first “Clasico” of Spain that will decide nothing more and nothing less than the champion of the Supercopa de España, the first trophy of the year that Real Madrid and Barcelona can win. The match will be played at the King Abdullah Sport City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at 1 p.m. CET.
It should be noted that both Carlo Ancelotti and Hansi Flick will have their best players for this match, highlighting on the part of Barcelona that Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor will be available for the German coach’s choice, this after resolving the problem that the club had with their registrations.
Also, superstitions come into play, as since 2011, no Spanish Super Cup champion has repeated its epic, so Real Madrid, reigning champions, will have to go against that unwritten rule and try to achieve what justly Barcelona was able to do 14 years ago, when they were crowned champions for the third consecutive time in the Super Cup.
