FC Barcelona and Real Madrid<\/a> <\/b>will face each other this Sunday in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup<\/strong> at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah (8:00 PM CEST), for the tournament final. Hansi Flick<\/strong>‘s team arrives with two players out due to injury, with Ronald Araujo<\/strong> now available after almost two months on the sidelines.<\/p> We review the possible starting lineup, the substitute bench, and the injured and suspended players for Hansi Flick’s Barcelona<\/strong> for the match against Real Madrid. Complete analysis!<\/p> Bar\u00e7a Bench (substitute players)<\/strong><\/p> Injured Bar\u00e7a Players<\/strong><\/p> Suspended Bar\u00e7a Players:<\/strong><\/p> In principle, Hansi Flick foresees making one change to his XI compared to the thrashing against Athletic (5-0), with Lamine Yamal returning to the attack in place of Roony Bardghji. The ’10’ would join Ferran Torres and Raphinha in the Bar\u00e7a attacking trident<\/p> Goalkeeping and defense<\/strong><\/p> Joan Garc\u00eda <\/strong>will be in goal, while Jules Kound\u00e9<\/b> and Alejandro Balde will be the full-backs. In the center of defense, Eric Garc\u00eda and Pau Cubars\u00ed should remain in the middle. Ronald Araujo<\/strong> could be on the bench along with Marc Casad\u00f3 and Jofre Torrents. Ter Stegen returns to the bench alongside Szczesny.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Midfield:<\/strong><\/p> As a pivot, Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> is set to be Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong>‘s partner in midfield, while Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/strong> would once again be the team’s attacking midfielder. Marc Bernal could get minutes in the second half, as could Marc Casad\u00f3. Dani Olmo will also be a regular substitute in the second half.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Forward:<\/strong><\/p> In attack, Lamine Yamal <\/strong>and Raphinha <\/b>would complete the Blaugrana attack alongside Ferran Torres<\/strong>. Robert Lewandowski and Roony Bardghji would be substitutes this Sunday, as would Marcus Rashford. The Swede scored and provided a couple of assists against Athletic, taking advantage of Lamine’s substitute status.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Currently, only two players are out due to significant injuries. Pablo Gavi continues his recovery from knee surgery and could return to action in mid-February. Andreas Christensen suffered a partial cruciate ligament tear before the trip to Villarreal and is expected to be out for four or more months<\/p> Real Madrid, for their part, arrives with many doubts for the Super Cup final. Xabi Alonso is playing for his job with the uncertainty of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, a last-minute doubt in the ‘Merengue’ XI. The ’10’ traveled to Arabia after overcoming a sprain in his left knee, but it is difficult for him to be a starter.<\/p> The same happens with Antonio R\u00fcdiger<\/strong>, who limped off the field during the derby against Atl\u00e9tico on Thursday (1-2). The German pushed himself to play the semifinal, but his left knee is on the verge of another muscle tear. This will force the coach from Tolosa to patch up his defense again, as Dean Huijsen<\/strong> is also not physically fit to play.<\/p> Thibaut Courtois will be in goal, while Fede Valverde and \u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/strong> would again be full-backs. In the center, Ra\u00fal Asencio could partner Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni<\/strong>. This would force Jude Bellingham back into midfield alongside Camavinga, while Arda G\u00fcler would return to the XI as an attacking midfielder<\/p> Up front, Rodrygo and Vinicius will accompany Mbapp\u00e9 or Gonzalo Garc\u00eda<\/strong>. Dani Ceballos would be another alternative for the midfield, but the Utrera native has played little after a failed loan to Marseille<\/a> last summer. Franco Mastantuono and Fran Garc\u00eda are emerging as options in the second half. \u00c9der Militao and Trent Alexander-Arnold are ruled out due to injury.<\/p> Possible Bar\u00e7a Starting XI against Real Madrid<\/h2>
