After an El Clasico to remember and with a trophy in the bag, Real Madrid now shift their attention to the other domestic cup competition, that is, the Copa Del Rey, where they will be up against city rivals, Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16.
Carlo Ancelotti mentioned after the final that he may rest some players for this fixture and give a chance to players such as Güler or Dani Ceballos, for instance. However, there isn’t a like-for-like replacement for Jude Bellingham, so there is a possibility he gets yet another start.
There are no injury scares for the men in white after a hectic schedule, and everyone is fit for this match, except for the obvious injuries of Eder Militao, Courtois, and David Alaba. However, overall, Real Madrid have only two center-backs available, as the main center-backs from Castilla have also suffered injuries.
Despite the fact that Ancelotti may give rest to players who played almost the entirety of both Super Cup games, the Italian has named a formidable squad.
The full squad for the game is as follows:
Goalkeepers
- Andriy Lunin
- Kepa Arrizabalaga
- Diego Piñeiro
Defenders
- Dani Carvajal
- Nacho
- Fran García
- Antonio Rüdiger
- Ferland Mendy

Midfielders
