Barcelona Predicted Lineup vs. Real Madrid: Spanish Super Cup Final | OneFootball

Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet in the Spanish Super Cup final for the third straight year for the first El Clásico of 2025.

Both teams reached the final after comfortable wins in the semifinals. Barcelona handled business against Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid did the same vs. Mallorca.

Barcelona defeated Los Blancos 4–0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in their first meeting of the season, going six points clear atop La Liga at the time. However, things have changed since then, with the Blaugrana struggling domestically and Real Madrid slowly finding their form. Now, Carlo Ancelotti's side have a four point lead over Barcelona in the league.

Hansi Flick has a chance at his first piece of silverware as a Barcelona manager, and will field his strongest XI looking for revenge after Real Madrid destroyed Barcelona 4–1 in last year's final. The positive news regarding Dani Olmo's registration case will give the Blaugrana a boost, with the first trophy of the Spanish soccer season within the Catalans reach.

Here's how Barcelona could lineup vs. Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final.

CB: Pau Cubarsí—Cubarsí will get the start alongside Martínez

CB: Íñigo Martínez—The veteran center back will aim to play Barça's trademarked offside trap to perfection again like in the first El Clásico of the 2024-25 season.
