JUMP TO:
A Clasico showdown will decide the winners of the Supercopa de Espana for a fourth consecutive season when Barcelona and Real Madrid clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Madrid battled past city rivals Atletico 2-1 on Thursday despite being without Kylian Mbappe, who faces a fitness race to be ready in time for the final.
Barcelona made comparatively serene progress as they swept aside Athletic Club 5-0 in their semifinal, with Raphinha bagging a brace.
The match takes place at King Abdullah Sports City, where Barca hammered Madrid 5-2 in last season's showpiece.

Barcelona vs. Real Madrid lineups, team news
Hansi Flick has no new injury worries from the semifinal and could opt to shuffle his forward line.
Dani Olmo, Marcus Rashford and Lamine Yamal all appeared off the bench against Athletic, while Robert Lewandowski was an unused substitute.
Raphinha's double means he will probably retain the left wing berth ahead of Rashford, but the others are all poised to start.

Barcelona subs: Matchday squads released one hour before kickoff
Kylian Mbappe sat out the Atletico game and faces a late fitness check alongside Antonio Rudiger, who took a knock on the knee in midweek.
A spot on the bench feels most likely for Mbappe, with Goncalo Garcia and Vinicius Junior continuing in attack.
