Watch again as Real Madrid host a press conference ahead of the Barcelona Super Cup clash
Real Madrid and Barcelona battled it out at the Spanish Super Cup Final on Sunday (14 January), just one year after battling it out for last year’s trophy.
Despite Barcelona taking home the win 3-1 in 2023, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was hopeful that they could pull it back, after Jude Bellingham helped the team win 2-1 against their rivals as recently as October.
Bellingham, Rudier, Nacho, and Modric were all expected to be in the Real Madrid starting XI.
Out of the teams’ head-to-head games, Barcelona have 22 and Real Madrid 18 under their respective belts, with 10 draws.
The match will take place at the KSU Stadium in Riyadh, kicking off at 7pm GMT on 14 January.
