Real Madrid will also have to do without Kylian Mbappe in the Spanish Football Super Cup.
The French star striker is currently recovering from a knee injury and is therefore not making the trip to Saudi Arabia. ÖFB star David Alaba is certainly on the plane, but he has not played a competitive game since October 19, 2025 and hardly plays a role in coach Xabi Alonso’s plans. The Royals will face Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals on Thursday.
FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao will also meet in Jeddah on Wednesday. The final takes place on Sunday. All games (8 p.m. each) will be broadcast on Puls 4. Last year, Real lost 5-2 in the final against Barca.
