Real Madrid was defeated by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final yesterday. They’ll be hoping to exact revenge tomorrow. In the same event final the previous year, the Catalans defeated them quite handily, 1-3.
A few months later, they defeated Barcelona 0–4. They have a chance to redeem their last season’s performance and win their first prize of the new season tomorrow.
Due to injuries to Daniel Carvajal, Federico Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga, Carlo Ancelotti’s club was on the verge of losing to Atletico Madrid in the semi-final match. After a duel of eight goals, Atletico Madrid ultimately prevailed 5–3.
This is how Madrid Universal thinks the 14-time Champions League winners will line up for El Clasico tomorrow, with most of the team healthy and ready to play.
Defense: Mendy keeps going after the goal
Real Madrid supporters were not pleased with Kepa’s error in the semifinal that allowed Atletico to score their third goal of the game. Although rumors have often stated that the Spaniard will continue to start in goal, this is official.
Particularly after a fantastic game in which three of the four goals were scored, the back line will also remain the same.
Due to his one goal and two assists, Daniel Carvajal was awarded the most valuable player of the match. The fact that the Spaniard worked out by himself following the match raises some concerns about his health, but he ought to maintain his position at right back.
Antonio Rudiger and Nacho will continue to start as the center-back duo because Eder Militao and David Alaba tore their ACLs. The first guy may be able to play in the final few games if his rehabilitation goes according to plan, while the second player is probably not coming back this season.
Eduardo Camavinga was one of Madrid’s greatest players at left back, and he is a strong contender to start there, particularly against Lamine Yamal. But now that Mendy has a goal in the semifinals, Ancelotti will look to provide him with some regularity.
Kroos beats Modric in the midfield
Toni Kroos will likely replace Luka Modric in the middle of the field, which is the only change that will likely be made to the starting group from the semifinal.
Although the Croatian performed admirably against Atleti, Ancelotti will want Kroos’ composure and wisdom to defeat a formidable Barcelona center who will attempt to control the game.
Even though Federico Valverde left the game during extra time, doctors have given him permission to return. Together with Aurelien Tchouameni, he will begin in the middle of the field.
Jude is the attack’s leader.
Although Jude Bellingham’s position has been open for a time, it’s safe to assume that he has been primarily used by Madrid as a false nine. He intends to carry on with that role tomorrow and expects to replicate his exploits in the league match against Barcelona.
Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo are likely to help Bellingham up top. Rodrygo will play on the right wing, and Vinicius Jr. will play on the left.
