It will be Real Madrid versus Barcelona in Sunday's Spanish Super Cup after Los Blancos defeated Mallorca 3-0 in the semi-final on Thursday. It will be the third consecutive Superclasico in the competition, following meetings between the bitter rivals in the 2023 and 2024 finals.
According to Diario AS, Carlo Ancelotti judged the semi-final in Jeddah.
“We started well and when we had to score… we didn't. We didn't score the second until the 90th minute, but it sums up a match that was demanding because we tried in every way possible. They defended very well and had some chances – for example, they are very dangerous in the air. Anything could happen there, but we had a lot of balance at the back, we were good. And now: final.”
Ancelotti was also asked about the precautionary measure announced to Barcelona on Wednesday, which will see Real Madrid face Dani Olmo and Pau Victor this weekend.
“I don't want to comment on this. Of course I have an opinion, but I don't want to say it.”
