The semi-final match was a great match at the spectator level, but after conceding 3 goals and needing an extra time, either due to rest or due to Ancelotti's discontent, we may possibly see some change in the starting 11 to try to alleviate the mistakes made against Atlético and to face FC Barcelona more personally.
Therefore, this will be the starting 11 that Real Madrid could use for the Spanish Super Cup final:
BY: ANDRIY LUNIN – The Ukrainian goalkeeper will defend the Real Madrid goal. Kepa's role was not the best in the semi-finals, even scoring an own goal. The Italian coach rotates them and it may be that the Spanish goalkeeper being less confident is a good excuse to line up Lunin.
LHP: DANIEL CARVAJAL – The right back is having one of the best seasons of his career. An enviable semi-final match, with an important and essential role in 3 of his team's 5 goals, in addition to a great defensive performance during the 120 minutes, provides life insurance for the Spaniard and he will undoubtedly be a starter.
