Below, we review the starting elevens, the benches with the substitutes, and the injured and suspended players for FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF for the Clásico in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup final.
FC Barcelona Starting Lineup
Hansi Flick makes two changes from the match against Athletic, both in attack. Lamine Yamal returns to the starting XI in place of Roony Bardghi, while Robert Lewandowski will be the team's '9', replacing Ferran Torres. Raphinha completes Barça's star trident, the 'LRL' which scored 94 goals in 60 games in 24/25
Deep down, everything remains the same, including Eric García's presence at the center alongside Pau Cubarsí. Gerard Martín will be a substitute, while Joan García remains in goal, as do Balde and Koundé as full-backs. Frenkie de Jong remains as the defensive pivot, again accompanied by Pedri González. Fermín López will once again play as an attacking midfielder.

Real Madrid starting lineup against Barcelona
- Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Valverde, Asensio, Huijsen, Carreras; Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Gonzalo.
- Real Madrid Bench: Lunin (GK), Ceballos, Fran García, Alaba, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Güler, Mendy, Mastantuono, Mbappé, Jiménez, Thiago.
Real Madrid, for their part, arrive at the Super Cup final with many doubts. Xabi Alonso is playing for his job with Kylian Mbappé on the bench. The '10' will finally be a substitute, although he will surely play in the second half. Antonio Rüdiger also goes to the bench, with a left knee injury.
Finally, Thibaut Courtois will be in goal, while Fede Valverde and Álvaro Carreras will be full-backs again. In the center, Raúl Asencio forms a partnership with Dean Huijsen, who had been injured for a month.
From the midfield forward, everything remains the same as in the derby against Atlético. Tchouaméni and Camavinga form the defensive double pivot, with Jude Bellingham playing behind the '9'. Up front, Rodrygo and Vinicius will accompany Gonzalo García. Arda Güler, in principle, was mentioned as a starter, but will go to the bench
