• Real Madrid face Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final
• Carlo Ancelotti fielded a full-strength lineup in the semi-finals
• Luka Modric is ill, and Aurelien Tchouameni remains a fitness doubt

Defending Supercopa de España champions Real Madrid have reached the final in Jeddah after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Mallorca on Thursday night. While the scoreline suggested dominance, Los Blancos faced moments of unease before Jude Bellingham broke the deadlock, channeling a Zidane-like aura with his tucked-in shirt style.

Now, Real Madrid have the chance to match Barcelona’s record of 14 Supercopa triumphs if they can overcome their eternal rivals. Here’s how Carlo Ancelotti could set his team up for the highly anticipated Clasico showdown.

Real Madrid Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper

• Thibaut Courtois
  Mallorca failed to truly test the Belgian in the semi-final, but he’ll undoubtedly have a busier night against Barcelona’s potent attack.

Defenders

• RB: Lucas Vazquez
  Despite Raul Asencio’s emergence as a backup option, Ancelotti will likely rely on Vazquez’s experience in this high-stakes encounter.
• CB: Aurelien Tchouameni
  The Frenchman has seamlessly adapted to a center-back role, and Real will hope he shakes off his injury concerns to start.
• CB: Antonio Rudiger
  Rudiger’s imposing presence and form make him a lock for the starting XI, even with David Alaba back in contention.
• LB: Ferland Mendy
  Mendy’s defensive stability will be crucial to contain Barcelona’s attacking threats, particularly the dynamic Lamine Yamal.

Midfielders

• CM: Eduardo Camavinga
  The Frenchman’s development continues to impress, and his versatility makes him a key component in Madrid’s midfield.
• CM: Federico Valverde
  With carefully managed minutes in recent matches, Valverde should be ready to unleash his energy and physicality against Barca.

Forwards

• RM: Rodrygo
  Fresh off his birthday goal in the semi-final, Rodrygo will aim to retain his place in the starting XI despite competition from Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler.
• AM: Jude Bellingham
  Bellingham has rediscovered his form, thriving once again in a free-roaming role. He’ll be Madrid’s creative engine and a major threat to Barca’s midfield.
• LM: Vinicius Junior
  Vinicius remains a headline-maker, both for his brilliance and his fiery temperament. He’ll look to channel his energy positively in the final.

Striker

• Kylian Mbappe
  Mbappe’s offside woes were a notable feature of the October Clasico, but his pace and finishing ability make him a constant danger for any defense.

Key Factors

Real Madrid will rely on their experienced core, combined with the youthful brilliance of players like Bellingham and Vinicius, to navigate the high-pressure final. The midfield battle will be pivotal, as Camavinga and Valverde face off against Barcelona’s dynamic duo of Pedri and Marc Casado.

Los Blancos will need a clinical Mbappe and a disciplined performance to secure back-to-back Supercopa titles and assert their dominance in El Clasico.
