The Spanish Super Cup continues on Thursday as Real Betis and FC Barcelona face each other in the semifinals. The winner will take on Real Madrid in the final on Sunday, meaning we would get El Clasico if Barca advance. Xavi’s side are coming off a crucial away win against Atletico de Madrid (1-0) while the team coached by Manuel Pellegrini won 2-1 away against Rayo Vallecano. The Spanish Super Cup used to only include the La Liga and Copa Del Rey winners but was expanded in 2019 to include the runners-up of both competitions.
As La Liga winners, Real Madrid faced the Copa Del Rey runners-up Valencia on Wednesday, winning in penalty kicks, while La Liga runners-up Barcelona will face the Copa Del Rey winners Real Betis.
