Alaba comeback postponed
Real Madrid against Real Mallorca from 8pm LIVE
Real Madrid won the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Mallorca 3:0 - and will therefore face FC Barcelona in the final on Sunday.
ÖFB star David Alaba's comeback for his club Real Madrid is still a long time coming and could now take place on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup final against FC Barcelona in the Clasico of all places.
The 32-year-old Viennese was back in the squad for the first time in over a year on Thursday in the semi-final match against Real Mallorca. However, the defender watched Madrid's 3-0 win in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from the substitutes' bench.
Here is the starting eleven:
Birthday boy scores
Alaba saw a superior Madrid team from there, but had to wait until the 63rd minute to take the lead. Jude Bellingham scored after Rodrygo hit the bar and Kylian Mbappe was denied by Mallorca keeper Dominik Greif. The defending champions then contented themselves with keeping the score at 1-0 until Martin Valjent inadvertently scored an own goal in stoppage time (93'). Birthday boy Rodrygo added another goal at the end (95').
This will be the third Super Cup final in a row between Real and Barcelona, who eliminated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Wednesday. Last year, coach Carlo Ancelotti's side came out on top 4-1, while Barca won 3-1 in 2023.
For Spain's association, the mini-tournament in Saudi Arabia will once again make the cash register ring. 40 million euros will be transferred by the kingdom, 50 percent of which will be shared between the participating clubs.
