The first title of the year, at stake: The Supercopa is back!
After a spectacular tournament in which Real Madrid emerged champion, Ancelotti's team seeks to defend the title against Real Betis Balompié, FC Barcelona and Valencia CF.
The time has come to decide which team is the champion of all champions. There are only two days left for the return of the Spanish Supercopa, the first game of the year in Spanish football. Last season was a success, where Real Madrid, after defeating FC Barcelona in the Clásico, went on to beat Athletic Club that had just defeated Atlético de Madrid. And this video reflects the magical moments that we lived in Saudi Arabia:
This year there will be two clubs in Riyadh that did enter the tournament the previous season. Real Betis Balompié, who won their third Copa del Rey a few months ago, presents themselves with the intention of adding their first Super Cup to the list of winners. Valencia CF, for their part, will seek to emulate the success they already had in 1999 after beating a Barça with whom they could meet in a hypothetical final.
The Sevillians' rival will be Barça club, which has thirteen Super Cups, being the team that has won it the most times. The Ché team will face the current champion, Real Madrid, who would match those thirteen Barça titles if they repeat the feat.
The first semi final between Real Madrid and Valencia CF (First Division Champion and Cup runner-up) will be played this Wednesday and the second will be a face off between Real Betis Balompié and FC Barcelona (Cup Champion and First Division runner-up), leaving the final set for Sunday, the day on which we will know, from the hand of Movistar +, the name of the new champion. The only thing left is to get the ball rolling!
