Ancelotti warns: Real Madrid has to learn from 0: 4 debacle against Barcelona!

A gripping duel is imminent: Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the Spanish Supercup final!

The football world holds your breath! On Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. GMT), the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, becomes the scene of one of the greatest rivalries in sports: Real Madrid against Barcelona! The two giants of Spanish football face each other in the Supercup final, and the tension could not be greater!

Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti has urged: The painful 0: 4 defeat against Barcelona in October must not repeat itself! "We have to learn from our mistakes," emphasized Ancelotti in a press conference. "The Clasico is always something special, but when it comes to a title, the pressure is even greater!"

The return of the stars

The "royal" have improved a lot after the embarrassing debacle against the Catalans. With an impressive 3-0 win against Mallorca in the semi-finals, they fought their way back into the game. But the question remains: Can you find the balance between attack and defense? The French superstar Kylian Mbappe, who only came from Paris Saint-Germain last year, causes excitement in attack, together with Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. "If we are defensively strong, we have a better chance to win," says Ancelotti.

On the other hand, Barcelona will compete with a new face: Dani Olmo, who is entitled to play again after a controversial licensing, could be the decisive piece of puzzle for the Catalans. Coach Hansi Flick, who has only recently been swinging the scepter at Barca, has great expectations: "A victory would give us a lot of confidence for the rest of the season!"

The Supercopa: a prestige duel

The Spanish Supercup, which brings together the champions and cup winners of last season, has a long tradition. For the first time in 1982, the 2020 format was expanded to four teams. Real Madrid is the reigning master and will do everything possible to defend the title after defeating Barcelona 4-1 in the final last year.

The atmosphere in the stadium will be electrifying. Jeddah, which is also part of the preparations for the World Cup 2034, becomes the scene of a football festival that will captivate the fans. The last encounters between the two teams were all fiercely contested, and the statistics speak for Real Madrid, who won 105 of the 258 duels.

But Barcelona has stabilized in the last games and shows signs of upswing. After a series of defeats, they finally achieved two victories in a row. "We are ready to give everything," assured Flick.

The lineups of both teams are not yet final, but the anticipation for this epic duel is already noticeable. In the end, who will triumph and take the prestigious title home? The football world watches averted!
