Atlético de Madrid v Real Madrid, another derby in the Spanish Super Cup | OneFootball

The match is played this Thursday in Saudi Arabia and puts the last ticket to the final against Barcelona at stake. The game starts 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 takes place in Saudi Arabia. The match will be played at King Abdullah Sports City, starting at 16:00.

The winner of the classic 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 decision will be directly by penalties.

Atlético de Madrid arrives after a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in LaLiga, a result that ended a streak of four consecutive victories. The team led by Diego Simeone has 38 points in the local tournament and returns to compete in the Super Cup after missing the last edition, aiming to win a title they haven't secured since 2014.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid started the year with a 5-1 victory over Betis and remains second in LaLiga, four points behind the leader Barcelona. The team managed by Xabi Alonso will seek to win their 14th Super Cup, after losing the final in the previous edition.

Both teams have significant absences. For the “Merengue,” Kylian Mbappé will not be available due to a knee injury, while for the “Colchonero,” Argentine Nico González will not be able to play, as he has been dealing with an injury since the end of 2025.
