FC Barcelona is entering the Spanish Super Cup final in a completely different situation compared to the team that faced Real Madrid in the league Clásico at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on October 26. The Catalan team approaches the upcoming match with an almost full squad and excellent technical and physical condition, having previously struggled with significant absences and difficult circumstances. According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, this major improvement in Barcelona's performance has brought them to the Super Cup final in Jeddah as one of the top contenders for the title.

The newspaper pointed out that the team, led by coach Hans Flick, clearly benefited from the return of key players who were absent from the October Clasico, such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Dani Olmo, in addition to goalkeeper Juan Garcia, who has contributed to four clean sheets since his return.

Regarding the results, the newspaper explained that since their loss at the Bernabéu, Barcelona has achieved an impressive streak, winning nine consecutive league matches. They moved from being five points behind Real Madrid to leading the league by four points, scoring 40 goals compared to just 29 by the royal team during the same period.

On the other side, Real Madrid enters the final with numerous physical doubts, especially in the defense line, with several players definitely absent due to injuries. This makes their task even more difficult against the in-form Barcelona. Although there is a possible return of the French star Kylian Mbappé, the overall condition of the team does not seem ideal compared to the high level of readiness enjoyed by the Catalan team.

The report confirmed that the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia represents a new clash between two teams going through contrasting phases. Barcelona arrives at the peak of its form and confidence, while Real Madrid seeks to overcome its physical and technical problems in a match that leaves no room for compromise.
