Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized the unpredictability of the upcoming Spanish Super Cup Final against Barcelona, but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to deliver an exceptional performance at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah.

“It’s a game that’s not predictable. No one can foresee the result, but I am convinced that tomorrow we will perform not just well, but very well,” the Italian coach stated during his pre-match press conference.

Confidence and Strategic Preparation

Ancelotti highlighted the team’s confidence and excitement heading into their third consecutive El Clásico in this competition. While acknowledging the difficulty and intensity of facing Barcelona, he assured that his team has a clear plan to minimize risks.

“We are very clear on what we need to do to reduce the risk. But in a Clásico, the result depends on many factors. What we can control is our performance, and I am sure it will be excellent,” he analyzed.

The Value of Individual Quality

The Italian tactician stressed the significance of individual brilliance in high-stakes matches like this, suggesting that moments of individual quality could outweigh collective tactics. He pointed to defensive solidity as a key factor in gaining the upper hand.

“In a Clásico, individual quality often prevails over collective play, especially in defense. If you defend well, you have a greater chance of winning. Playing a final against Barcelona is always something special,” he concluded.
