The second Clasico of the season between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place in Saudi Arabia as the two Spanish clubs will face each other in the semi-finals of the Supercopa de Espana on Wednesday.
After returning negative COVID-19 tests results, new signing Ferran Torres and Pedri are set to join up with the rest of their Barcelona teammates, while Ansu Fati has also recovered from injury and he should be at Xavi Hernandez's disposal for the duel at the King Fahd International Stadium.
Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have also travelled with the team, but Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia and Martin Braithwaite are sidelined through injuries.
As for Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti can count on all but two of his players, as Gareth Bale and Mariano Diaz will both miss out on the Clasico between the two LaLiga Santander giants.
Los Blancos came out victorious from the first encounter between the two sides this season, as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Camp Nou back in October thanks to goals from David Alaba and Lucas Vazquez.
In one of the Classics most exciting of recent years, party to remember, the ‘Madrid law’ ended up imposing itself against the best Barça of the season. That dignifies Madrid even more, which has scored three goals for the best version of Xavi’s team.
All with Vinicius and Benzema, the best attack in the world, in a heavenly way. It was an epic game, with a Barcelona that had a decent game, but … What greatness Madrid! It is a winning team, used to suffering, with DNA to win. I am sorry for Barça and for Laporta, that although he says that they have returned, what they have returned is to lose against Real Madrid.
On Sunday, in the final, don’t look for the ‘Xavi effect’, because he has vanished before him Madrid by Ancelotti, the one that does not fail.
This match corresponds to the first semifinal of the tournament, thus disputing who will play with the winner of Atlético de Madrid – Athletic Club next Sunday.
