Barcelona is preparing for one of the season’s most crucial matches, as they face their archrivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final this Sunday. The highly anticipated match will take place at King Abdullah International Stadium in Saudi Arabia, promising an exciting clash between two giants of Spanish football.
Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has emphasized the importance of winning the Super Cup against Real Madrid, noting that it would provide a significant morale boost for the team as they continue to compete for all titles with full strength.
According to Radio Catalunya, Iniesta has urged coach Hansi Flick to include Dani Olmo in the starting lineup for the upcoming El Clasico. With his extensive experience in high-stakes encounters between the two teams, Iniesta believes Olmo could be the key to Barcelona’s success in this crucial match.
Iniesta praised Olmo for his ability to create chaos in Real Madrid’s defense, especially in front of president Florentino Perez and coach Carlo Ancelotti. He also highlighted that Barcelona president Joan Laporta’s success in registering Olmo, despite opposition from Perez and the Spanish Federation, adds a psychological advantage. Iniesta described Olmo as a “nightmare” for Real Madrid, emphasizing that his playing style could pose a significant threat to their defense. He believes Olmo could be the player who shifts the balance in Barcelona’s favor and should be included in the starting lineup for this vital clash.
