Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated Spanish Super Cup final, an El Clásico showdown against Barcelona.

Ancelotti described the upcoming clash as one likely to be “entertaining,” considering the talent both teams bring to the table.

Real Madrid secured their place in the final after a commanding 3-1 victory over Mallorca in the semi-finals on Thursday.

Jude Bellingham opened the scoring, followed by an own goal from Martin Valjent, and Rodrygo sealed the win with a clinical finish.

Speaking after the semi-final, Ancelotti acknowledged the unpredictability of El Clásico, referencing the highs and lows both teams have experienced in their recent encounters.

“El Clásico has always been full of surprises,” Ancelotti said.

“There were games we won comfortably, and others where they completely outclassed us, like the 0-4 loss.

It’s tough to predict what will happen in the final, but I know it will be exciting.

Both teams have immense quality, and we’ll give our all to outshine Barcelona.”

Former Manchester City player, Joleon Lescott shares his prediction on Arsenal FC ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash.

It can be noted that Arsenal will face Sporting CP in the quarter-finals, while FC Barcelona will take on Atlético Madrid.

“I would not say so just because of the way they defend.

“I think a more compact team like Arsenal, and with the offensive talent that they have, I think will cause Barca a lot of problems because I still think there are frailties in their defensive line.”

He shared that Arsenal has a chance of going far in the competition.
