Barcelona and Real Madrid renew hostilities with a Clasico clash to decide the Spanish Super Cup winner.
The Catalan club set up a chance at a record-extending 15th Super Cup crown with a 2-0 victory over competition debutants Osasuna on Thursday.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, booked their place in the final in rather more dramatic fashion, requiring a late Dani Carvajal equaliser against rivals Atletico to force extra time before securing victory with two goals in the additional period.
The entirety of this year’s event is being played in Saudi Arabia.
