The minor trophy disputed three thousand miles from Spain will mean extra cash for the clubs’ coffers and gauge how each enters the second half of the season. Madrid has strung together some positive results since its home debacle against Barcelona, while the Catalan club has faded after a fantastic start to the season. But Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday that his team will have to draw motivation from its stinging loss at the Santiago Bernabeu. “Of course we’ll have to think about the first clasico of the season when they beat us,” Ancelotti said. “We have to see a repeat of the things we did well and avoid the mistakes we made later. A clasico is a clasico and the pressure is even greater in a final. Playing Barcelona in a final is always very special.” When they met in late October, Robert Lewandowski scored twice and Lamine Yamal and Raphinha each piled on goals to humble Mbappé in his first matchup against Barcelona in the all-white Madrid shirt.

We won’t be doing anything different. But one clasico can’t be compared with the other. Tomorrow we will start from 0-0 and we just want to play well and win.”after the Spanish government stepped in to provisionally allow the club to register him with the league following a dispute over whether the club met a competition’s financial rules before a year-end deadline. Lewandowski is among the hottest scorers in Europe with 25 in 26 appearance across all competitions for Barcelona. Raphinha has scored 17 times, while Yamal has added another seven goals plus a team-high 12 assists.
