Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the 2023/24 Spanish Super Cup final.
Despite going off in extra time with a knock in the semi-final win, Federico Valverde is likely to be fit for the final this weekend. According to reports in Spain, it is not a significant problem and he should be available to face Barcelona.
Ancelotti may be tempted to throw in fresh legs after the rigours of 120 matches against Atletico, with Eduardo Camavinga and Toni Kroos being possible inclusions.
Raphinha is a significant doubt for Barcelona after being pulled off against Osasuna in the first half. Lamine Yamal, 16 years old, took his place. Pedri came off the bench and could start, while Joao Cancelo is vying for a starting spot.
Barcelona had been in poor form prior to the winter break, squandering points to Valencia and Girona before edging Almeria.
Meanwhile, Real have not lost a competitive match since September, and their firepower was on full show against Atletico, even if they were far from secure at the back. We’re rooting for Real to avenge last year’s final and win the trophy.
