The eyes of football fans around the world are directed towards the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, “The Shining Jewel,” in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to watch the Clasico between the traditional rivals, Real Madrid and Barcelona, at nine o’clock tonight, Sunday, for the Spanish Super Cup title.
The two Spanish giants are facing off in the Super Cup final after Real Madrid qualified at the expense of Real Mallorca with a 3-0 victory, while Barcelona advanced after defeating Athletic Bilbao 2-0. Real Madrid participates in the tournament as the La Liga champion from last season, while Barcelona plays as the runner-up.
In a stern warning before the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid tonight, German coach Hansi Flick issued a strong statement to Barcelona players regarding Real Madrid’s rising star, Jude Bellingham.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, Flick warned that Bellingham is considered the most dangerous player in the royal team and explained that Barcelona will not be able to win the title if the defenders fail to keep a close watch on him.
Flick has expressed concern about Bellingham’s uncanny ability to evade defenders and move freely in the penalty area, making him difficult to stop.
Accordingly, Flick has assigned Barcelona star Gavi the task of closely monitoring him throughout the match, issuing a stern warning: “I don’t want you to let him breathe on the pitch.”
Flick’s strong warning underscores the significant threat Bellingham poses to Barcelona’s defense and highlights the importance of this encounter for both teams. Will Barcelona’s players be able to stop him? This is what the highly anticipated match will reveal.
