oh good afternoon. welcome to the first Classic official outside of Spain, welcome to the first semi-final of the Super Cup. Welcome to a whole Barcelona-Real Madrid. Today in Riyadh, today in the desert, today with Xavi on the culé bench, with novelties but with all the flavor of always in a Clásico. They are separated by 17 points in the standings but this is one match and winning gives you the right to fight for the first official title of the season. And the way things are in Barcelona, ​​that’s an oasis. And never better said.

Those of Xavi Hernández arrive with a new guy in the office, Fernando Torres, recently registered and with options to have minutes against Real Madrid. is also recovered Pedri, although the coach does not want to force him, so we will surely not see him from the beginning in an eleven that, as he said laporta, has youth as its main asset. The illusion of the academy players (and veterans) of the Barça team is the best weapon of the team that today shines at home. Illusion to win a Clásico, illusion to find a point to hold on to turn the season around.

At Real Madrid, fewer doubts. Ancelotti He is clear about his gala eleven, beyond a position or two that dance in the lineup. And he also knows, because he lived it in the Camp Nou, which has arguments to think about dominating both with the ball and against the rival team. Let’s see what plan Carletto has with Vinicius, what plan do you have with the pressure, what plan do you have if the game gets complicated or, as in the league, it gets to your face.

We have a lot of things to tell you, a lot of analysis and preview programs for you to enjoy the minutes that remain until the ball rolls in Riyadh. And we have the best envoys and the best special ‘remainers’. We don’t expect more than this is a great game and you have to live it with time. We start up.
