the Spanish Super Cup (although he plays very far from Spain) with its ‘final four’ format has become very exciting and a real pleasure for fans. It remained upside down the party of going and coming in which the champion of League and that of Glass of the King faced each other to know to ‘supercampeón’. In its third edition (2020, 2021 and 2022), the “revolution” of the RFEF continues to be very well received, but does not remove the “unfair” that it brings to it a team that the previous year was second in the first division or finalist in glass.
Between comillas, because it is a disguised injustice, because what is true is that this format is more entertaining and arouses the interest of many more interested, not only in Spain. That year, they helped Jock from madrid (league champion), FCBarcelona (winner of the King’s Cup), real Madrid (second in the League) and Bilbao Athletic, after playing the Cup final against the culés. Precisely, the two guests, madridistas and lions, will be those who will meet in the final.
There happened a identical situation in the 2020 edition, with the final between Real Madrid and Athletic, who arrived ‘guest’ after leaving en route to Valencia and Barca, respectively. This did not take away the emotion at the party, giving way to a Madrid derbi which was defined in a batch of penalties and which went completely unexpected and thrilling. On this occasion, feelings are equal and Madrid’s rival will be Athletic.
“Injustice” was something Toni Kroos spoke about recently: “we didn’t do much to be in the Supercopa because we don’t win a League or a Cup, but here we go. 2 years ago, the first time he played with 4 teams, none had been champions and ended up winning. I think the organizer is interested in us taking part”, underlined the Teutonic midfielder. And he is not lacking in reason.
Spain’s historic duel
In any case, one of the “classics” of Spanish football will live. Those of Marcelino will try to defend the title he won a year ago against FC Barcelona in La Cartuja, in an ‘epic’ traced against the culés. Will face a Madrid who have won them twice in less than a month, in La Liga, and that wants to meet with a title after a year in target. Dispute and ‘war’ will be maximum, of that there is no doubt, and the trophy will go to whoever ‘holds’ the most. Both teams arrive in high demand, with a hectic schedule that leaves no time for anything else.
