17. Lucas V.
14. Tchouameni
22. Rüdiger
23. Mendy
8. Valverde

Luka Modric Back In Los Blancos Squad After Illness
Midfielder Luka Modric was absent from the semi-final against Mallorca. The Croatian traveled with the squad to Dubai but picked up a viral infection.
Carlo Ancelotti will be happy to have him back for such a big game, with his experience potentially needed at some point.
Every game is different from the last, but after losing the opening El Clasico 4-0 at home in La Liga, Real Madrid wants some revenge. What a perfect way to do that, beating them in the Spanish Super Cup final.
