Real Madrid v Barcelona Cup Final in Saudi

Isn’t it the Super Cup? So not quite a final. But yeah, ridiculous flying to Saudi during this stage of the season for a match that they clearly value as they’ve played full strength teams. They’ll be first to whinge about fatigue too.
 
It's only the super cup. Essentially their charity shield. And as others have said, the kingdom of Saud has a LOT of money in it's sportswashing fund

They have a semi-final and final.

It's made up of the winners and runners up in the Copa del Ray and the winners and runners up in La Liga.

Semi-Final
Real Madrid 3-0 Mallorca
Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Bilbao

Looks like Barca going to win final
 
Worst I’ve seen Madrid so far this season, the rare times they do have possession they’re giving it away so carelessly. Camavinga in particular having a nightmare. The way they gave the ball away for Balde’s goal from their own corner was criminal.

That was insane! If you saw a kids team do that you would be fuming. So so poor.

Barca seem to have Madrids number this season. Dunno if Madrid are missing some leaders on the field to help them manage big games like this…the likes of Carvajal, Kroos, Modric etc.

Yeah I was going to say in the thread the other day, this Barça team is a bit strange, they’ll lose games along the way because of the youth in the squad although this is a much stronger XI tonight than played the last few league games. But they’re also capable of beating the best teams on their day, I don’t think they have the consistency to finish above either of the Madrid teams in the league but would like to be wrong!

Yeah, it is a very young and exciting team coming through.

It just feels like they have the ability to rip Madrid to shreds, they have looked incredible in the La Liga game and today. I assumed they would run away with it this year as Madrid are clearly having a tough season. Although they are grinding out results better than they used to. Bellingham has also come back into form, which is helping.
