Barcelona vs Real Madrid: 2026 Spanish Super Cup final confirmed starting teams as Mbappe starts on bench

Barcelona and Real Madrid meet for another classic in the Spanish Super Cup final tonight.

The two giants paved their way to the competition’s grand finale in Saudi Arabia, having beaten both Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao respectively.

When these two sides met earlier in the La Liga campaign, it was Los Blancos who came out on top, running out 2-1 winners, with sparks flying and red cards being shown in the final minutes.

Hopefully there is more of the same from the age-old rivalry in the Middle East tonight.
