"FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will square off tonight in Jeddah with the first trophy of the season - the Spanish Super Cup on the line. The Blaugrana go into the game having thrashed Athletic Club 5-0 in the semifinal, which made it nine wins in a row for Hansi Flick & co. across all competitions. Having lost to Real Madrid 2-1 earlier in the season in La Liga,"
"Barça go into tonight's contest with a near full-strength squad as Gavi and Andreas Christensen are the only two players sidelined through injury. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is fit and available after a scare earlier in the week. Ronald Araujo has continued to train with the squad, although it is unclear if he will be included in the matchday squad at this point."
FC Barcelona meet Real Madrid tonight in Jeddah for the Spanish Super Cup final. Barcelona enter in strong form after a 5-0 semifinal win over Athletic Club, marking a nine-game winning run across competitions. Barcelona lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in La Liga earlier and will seek revenge in the cup final. Gavi and Andreas Christensen are sidelined by injury; Marc-Andre ter Stegen is fit after a scare and Ronald Araujo has trained but may not make the matchday squad. Joan Garcia will make his El Clasico debut in goal. The defence will likely include Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia. Pedri's midfield performance will be pivotal after a red card and injury in the previous Clasico.
