#supercopa-de-espana

Since changing the format in 2020-prior to that date, Spain did the normal thing of pitting the winners of the league and the domestic cup against each other in a one-game preseason final, but now it is a four-team knockout between those two winners and the runners-up in their respective competitions-and moving the three matches to Saudi Arabia, the whole thing has become a glisteningly slimy exemplar of world soccer's insatiable greed

Florentino is going to kick you out. Remember he's going to kick you out.

"For us, the Supercopa is a prize," Valverde said. "It is already a prize to be here and we still want a bigger prize, which would be to be in the final."

Kylian Mbappe is set to miss the Supercopa de Espana for Real Madrid after suffering a knee injury. The Frenchman was not at training on Wednesday, with Madrid confirming he has suffered a sprain in his left knee. Mbappe has been playing through discomfort in recent weeks before undergoing further tests, which revealed the full extent of the injury. Though Madrid have not confirmed the length of his lay-off, media reports suggest he could be sidelined for around three weeks.

It's a shame that such a beautiful match was played so far away because I think that if it had been played closer, the stadium would have been filled with many of our fans.
