Supercopa de Espana Semi-Final Set for Thursday
Real Madrid face Mallorca in the second semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana on Thursday, with a place in the final against Barcelona at stake.
Madrid are no strangers to this competition, having participated every year since the introduction of the four-team format in 2020. The reigning champions have won the trophy 13 times, just one behind record-holders Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Mallorca make their return to the competition for the first time since 2003, having earned their spot as last season’s Copa del Rey runners-up. They face a daunting task against an in-form Madrid side aiming to continue their excellent start to 2025.

Team News
Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti rotated his squad for Monday’s Copa del Rey victory over Minera, but key players are set to return for the semi-final.
- Available: Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Thibaut Courtois are expected to start.
- Vinicius Junior: Despite being sent off against Valencia, he will be eligible for this match as his suspension applies only to La Liga.
- Injuries: Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao remain sidelined, but David Alaba is nearing a return from a long-term ACL injury.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Courtois; Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe.
Mallorca
Manager Jagoba Arrasate is expected to revert to a stronger lineup after heavy rotation in their Copa del Rey loss.
- Available: Samu Costa could make his return after missing three games through injury.
- Doubtful: Antonio Raillo and Antonio Sanchez face late fitness tests but are unlikely to start.
Predicted Lineup (4-4-2):
Greif; Mafeo, Valjent, Copete, Mojica; Asano, Morlanes, Mascarell, Darder; Larin, Muriqi.
Score Prediction
Mallorca are a well-organized side but lack the firepower to trouble Real Madrid over 90 minutes. While they could frustrate Los Blancos early on, Madrid’s quality should ultimately shine through.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Mallorca
