Barcelona are preparing to play one of the most important matches of the season, as they face their traditional rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final next Sunday.
The highly anticipated match will bring the two teams together at King Abdullah International Stadium in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in a confrontation that promises excitement and rivalry between two giants of Spanish football.
According to information from “Radio Catalunya”, Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta highlighted the importance of Barcelona winning the Super Cup against Real Madrid, stating that it would provide the team with a significant morale boost to continue competing for all titles with full strength.
Iniesta urged German coach Hansi Flick to include the team’s star player, Dani Olmo, in the starting lineup for the upcoming El Clasico match against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
Iniesta, who is well-versed in the dynamics of the intense encounters between the two rivals, believes that Dani Olmo could be the key to Barcelona’s victory in this crucial confrontation.
Iniesta confirmed that Olmo has the ability to create “real ter,ror” within Real Madrid’s ranks, especially in front of club president Florentino Perez and head coach Carlo Ancelotti. He noted that Barcelona president Joan Laporta’s success in registering Olmo despite the opposition from Perez and the Spanish Federation adds a psychological edge to the player’s involvement, which could help Barcelona secure the victory.
Iniesta described Olmo as a “nightmare” for the Madrid team, suggesting that his playing style will pose a significant threat to the Royal Defense.
The Barcelona legend believes that Olmo will be the key to shifting the balance of the match in favor of the Blaugrana and emphasized that Flick should start him in the crucial match against Real Madrid.
