Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has warned the fans to expect the unexpected when they face Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday, January 12. Madrid defeated Mallorca in the semi-final to set up the clash.

Following Real Madrid's 3-0 victory in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals over Mallorca on Thursday, the first El Clasico of 2025 is here in quite an occasion. Jude Bellingham netted the winning goal to set up the meeting between the two rivals as Los Blancos will face Barcelona after they took care of Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday by a 2-0 margin with Gavi and Lamine Yamal scoring.

Both Dani Olmo and Pau Victor have been cleared to play after Spain’s supreme sports council granted them temporary registration. The duo were previously in limbo and missed the 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday night but can now feature in Sunday’s final.
