This Thursday's match in Saudi Arabia will decide the last spot in the final against Barcelona. The game kicks off at 16:00.

Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will face each other this Thursday in the second semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup, which is being held in Saudi Arabia. The match will take place at the King Abdullah Sports City, starting at 16:00.

The winner of the derby will meet Barcelona in the final, who recently crushed Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in the other semifinal. If the match ends in a draw after the 90 minutes of regulation time, the winner will be decided directly by penalties.

Atlético de Madrid comes into the match after a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in LaLiga, a result that ended a run of four consecutive victories. Diego Simeone’s team has 38 points in the domestic league and returns to the Super Cup after missing the previous edition, aiming to win a title they haven’t claimed since 2014.

For their part, Real Madrid started the year with a 5-1 win over Betis and remain second in LaLiga, four points behind leaders Barcelona. The team managed by Xabi Alonso will be looking to secure their 14th Super Cup, after losing the final in the previous edition.

Both teams have significant absences. The “Merengues” will be without Kylian Mbappé, who is sidelined with a knee injury, while the “Colchoneros” will not have Argentine Nico González, who has been out with an injury since the end of 2025.
