The Spanish Super Cup final is here, and it brings another chapter of the iconic El Clasico rivalry as Real Madrid locks horns with Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s head coach, has called on his team to avoid repeating the errors that led to their humiliating 4-0 defeat to Barcelona earlier this season as reported by Al-Jazeera.
Barcelona, under the guidance of Hansi Flick, delivered a masterclass at the Santiago Bernabeu back in October, a match that left Madrid fans reeling. However, a dip in Barca’s form before the winter break allowed Los Blancos to reclaim the top spot in La Liga.
Now, with the stakes higher than ever, Ancelotti is keen to avenge that defeat. Speaking ahead of the final, he emphasized the importance of maintaining composure and tightening their defense, saying, “We must not dwell on the past but ensure we don’t make the same mistakes again.”
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, meanwhile, enters the match with renewed confidence. Having showcased their attacking prowess earlier in the season, they aim to extend their dominance in this high-profile clash.
With both teams evenly matched and motivated, the Spanish Super Cup final promises to be a spectacle. Both of the two Spanish pride have comfortably knocked-off their opponents in the semi final. While Real Madrid will look to assert their dominance, Barcelona hopes to reaffirm their resurgence under Flick.
