Following Real Madrid's 3-0 victory in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals over Mallorca on Thursday, the first El Clasico of 2025 is here in quite an occasion. Jude Bellingham netted the winning goal to set up the meeting between the two rivals as Los Blancos will face Barcelona after they took care of Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday by a 2-0 margin with Gavi and Lamine Yamal scoring.

Raúl Asencio could only sit and watch as Real Madrid conceded five goals to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Real Madrid hopes some home comfort will help the team get over yet another embarrassing loss to Barcelona. After losing 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, Madrid has a run of three home games over seven days.
