Real Madrid Breaks 4,435-Match Record as No Spaniard in Starting XI

The Spanish Super Cup is back and this time out in the first semi-finals, the giants Real Madrid will thier arch rivals Valencia in Saudi Arabia at the King Fahd International stadium. The winner of this encounter will face either Real Betis or FC Barcelona in the final on the 15th of January.

Hence, this being only a 2-match competition, both teams would be giving it thier all to win it as this would be the first trophy for the season and if any team wins it, this would surely be the best start to thier year.

Now coming into this game, both sides have similar results cause on one hand, Valencia suffered a shock defeat at thier home against Cadiz who are currently in the relegation zone of La Liga. Whereas for Real Madrid, they experienced the unthinkable as they lost to Villarreal away from home by a narrow margin of 2-1.

And this result really impacted thier title race cause Barcelona won thier match and are now 3 points clear at the hop. Hence, both teams would be looking to bounce back and redeem themselves to thier fans by giving them a trophy earlier on in the season.

But for Ancelotti’s men it would be difficult as they are facing a team who knows that this is the only trophy that they can win realistically this season and hence now more than ever Gattuso would surely be aiming to get his tactics right. However, the quality and mental strength that Los Blancos have might change the result of the game, hence it would definitely be a match to watch out for.
