Bellingham, Tchouameni and Valverde shake off issues

Real Madrid have been handed a triple fitness boost tonight with regards to the trio of Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde, all of whom are ready to start despite being forced off in the semi-final win over Real Mallorca.

"The doctor preferred to take him (Tchouameni) off the pitch because it was a blow to the head," Ancelotti said on Thursday.

"Bellingham and Valvede were overloads. We were not expecting the heat and it affected the rhythm of the game.”

Ancelotti expecting another 'unpredictable' Clasico clash

As ever with El Clasico, Carlo Ancelotti is predicting tonight’s Spanish Super Cup final tie to be entirely unpredictable and hugely entertaining...

"The Clasico has been unpredictable lately," the Italian said.

"There were games we won easily, like the 4-1 last year in the Super Cup.

“We also won 4-0 twice in Barcelona while they beat us 4-0 at the Bernabeu.

"It's hard to think what kind of game the next one will be.

“It will be entertaining because there is quality on the pitch.

“And obviously we want to end up being better than Barcelona."

Real Madrid gunning for third major trophy of the season

Incredibly, victory for Real Madrid tonight would see them claim their third piece of major silverware already this season.

Los Blancos, who won all of the Champions League, LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup last term, lifted the UEFA Super Cup for a record sixth time in Warsaw back in August after goals from Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappe saw them defeat Europa League winners Atalanta.

Then they travelled to Qatar before Christmas and beat Mexican side Pachuca 3-0 in the final of the inaugural FIFA Intercontinental Cup, with Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr all on target.

That latter triumph - Madrid’s fifth of 2024 - saw Carlo Ancelotti win the 15th major trophy of his two spells in charge, moving him clear of Real legend Miguel Munoz as the most successful coach in the club’s illustrious history.

Can he extend that record tonight?

Real Madrid out to avenge Barcelona thrashing at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid are out for revenge tonight, having been stunned 4-0 by Barcelona at home at the Bernabeu in the first Clasico of the season back in October.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in three second-half minutes that night, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha also netting on a memorable evening in Hansi Flick’s first taste of one of world football’s biggest derbies.

It ended Madrid’s 42-game unbeaten run in LaLiga and pushed Barca six points clear of their rivals.

However, the tables have turned since with defending champions Madrid - who have won five games in a row across all competitions -now back top and Barca six points behind in third, with Atletico in between after their win over Flick’s men before Christmas.
