The Spanish Super Cup features another edition of El Clasico this week as Barcelona take on arch-rivals Real Madrid in Riyadh on Wednesday. The two La Liga giants have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will go into this game with formidable squads.
Real Madrid are at the top of the La Liga standings and have been in impressive form this season. Los Blancos have already managed a convincing victory against the Blaugrana this season and will look to take it up a notch this week.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Catalan giants have shown improvement since Xavi's appointment and will need to play out of their skins to trouble their opponents on Wednesday.
