Kylian Mbappé will have a new opportunity to shine in a Clásico against Barcelona, provided Real Madrid overcomes Mallorca in their Spanish Super Cup clash.

An ideal setting awaits for the French star’s second Clásico, especially in the pursuit of a trophy that would mark Mbappé's third since joining the Merengues. However, both he and Carlo Ancelotti’s squad must first pass the semifinal test.

The Last Clásico: Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona

The sting of last October’s 4-0 defeat at Santiago Bernabéu likely lingers, sparking a thirst for revenge among Los Blancos. With a double from Robert Lewandowski and goals by Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, Barça delivered a painful blow to Madrid. Yet, this Real Madrid is vastly different, having silenced critics and evolved into a formidable side.

Notably, that Clásico marked Mbappé’s first against Barça. Now, he’s on the cusp of his own shot at redemption, as he’s yet to score against the Blaugrana in a Madrid shirt.

Real Madrid vs. Mallorca

After securing the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta and dominating Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup, Real Madrid eyes its third title of the season, with seven trophies up for grabs. The first step is beating Mallorca, with Ancelotti fielding his top players.

Vinícius Jr. is available after his league suspension was confined to LaLiga. He is expected to complete the attacking trio with Mbappé and Rodrygo, supported by Jude Bellingham.

Despite being underdogs, Mallorca enters its third Super Cup appearance with optimism, bolstered by strong LaLiga form—currently sixth and in European contention. However, a 3-0 Copa del Rey elimination by Pontevedra has dampened spirits. Mallorca seeks to play spoiler, aiming for their second Super Cup title since 1998, with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
