The Spanish Super Cup returns to Saudi Arabia with reigning champions Real Madrid and Valencia looking to get back on track and Barcelona and Real Betis hoping to keep the momentum going.
The first semi-final match, Wednesday, will witness the Real Madrid and Valencia match, and the two teams lost the weekend in the Spanish League. Real Madrid fell three points behind league leaders Barcelona after losing 2-1 to Villarreal. Valencia lost 1-0 to Cádiz at home – their second successive league loss – and are four points clear of the relegation zone.
Barcelona and Betis meet on Thursday after winning on home soil. Barcelona rebounded from recent poor results with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid, while Betis continued their fine start to the year with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano to stay in the Champions League.
The final match will be held on Sunday at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said, “We are upset about the match against Villarreal.” “We have to see how the team will react in these upcoming matches. The Super Cup is an important test for us.”
This is the fourth edition of the revamped Super Cup, which used to be played only between the La Liga champion and the Copa del Rey winner. Now the runner-up in both competitions also participates, making up the Final Four tournament. Real Madrid clinched the league ahead of Barcelona last season, while Betis won the Cup final against Valencia.
Real Madrid won the Super Cup in 2020 and 2022 after its renewal, and Athletic Bilbao won in 2021, when the tournament was held in Spain due to the Corona virus pandemic.
“Last year’s title gave us confidence for the rest of the season,” said Ancelotti. “It’s important that we do well, that we do better than we did in the last few games.”
The lucrative contract to play in Saudi Arabia has been extended until 2024-25 despite criticism over the country’s poor human rights record.
Madrid divided
Real Madrid will miss defender David Alaba and midfielder Aurelien Choameni due to injuries. The key players did not travel with the rest of the squad to Saudi Arabia. Dani Carvajal, who was sidelined recently with a muscle problem, will be available for Ancelotti.
LEWANDOWSKI for the chest
Barcelona coach Xavi will be able to count on Robert Lewandowski again after the striker missed the league match against Atletico during his first service of three matches. However, he is not allowed to play in the Super Cup, and is scheduled to start against Betis.
betis booster
Betis enters the Super Cup with back-to-back victories at the start of the year. The results left Sevilla in fourth place in the Spanish League and secured it in the round of 16 of the King’s Cup.
“It was important to win the Super Cup,” said Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini. “We’ll go with great confidence.”
Valencia struggles
Gennaro Gattuso’s side, led by veteran striker Edinson Cavani, arrived in Saudi Arabia having won just one of their last eight league matches.
“We are going through a difficult moment and I am primarily responsible for it because I am the coach,” said Gattuso. “We have to continue to work hard, this is the only solution.”
