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.”
