The first silverware of the domestic season in Spain will be handed out in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, as Real Madrid and Barcelona collide in a fascinating El Clasico to determine the Spanish Super Cup winners.
Barcelona overcame Athletic Bilbao in their semi-final on Wednesday, with Gavi and Lamine Yamal netting on their returns to the team following injury.
It was a more straightforward assignment for Real Madrid in their semi-final, as Jude Bellingham was among the scorers in a 3-0 win over Mallorca.

Barcelona should be confident ahead of this showdown after claiming a dominant 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the first La Liga clash between the sides this term.
That win ended a two-game winning sequence for Los Blancos. However, Real were 4-1 winners in the final of the Super Cup last year, and have won four of the last five matches between the sides in the competition.
