El Chiringuito leaks Barça's locker room opinion on Real Madrid

The Spanish Super Cup final will once again offer us an interesting match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid

The final of this season's Spanish Super Cup is already set. Barça and Madrid, or in other words, the two best teams in Spanish soccer, will stage an epic match that will decide the first major title of 2026. The tension can be felt in the air because both arrive in completely opposite dynamics, which will allow viewers to see a high-voltage clash.

Real Madrid has slipped into Sunday's big final after overcoming Atlético in an extremely hard-fought way. The Colchoneros clearly dominated the match due to the lack of defensive intensity from Los Blancos. However, the famous finishing power of the team coached by Xabi Alonso came to the fore at the most important moment and allowed the team to pass a trial by fire.

Meanwhile, FC Barcelona arrive at the event with sky-high morale. The Catalans come into it in an extraordinary run of form, led by Pedri and Raphinha, who are carrying the team on their backs. In addition, as if the good collective play and defensive solidity were not enough, Flick can boast of reaching the Spanish Super Cup final with no injury absences.

Many people think that El Clásico is a special match and that the state in which both teams arrive matters little. However, the reality is that right now there is no contest: Barça are infinitely superior to Real Madrid. Almost all neutral fans know it, but it seems that in the Barça locker room they also think the same way.

At least that is what José Álvarez has explained on El Chiringuito after learning that the Spanish Super Cup final will feature Barça and Madrid. "The Barça locker room have watched Los Blancos' match while they were having dinner, in a relaxed way, and they have told me what they think. I have asked before and after and the answer has been the same: we want Real Madrid".

José Álvarez has added that the Barça locker room not only prefer Madrid for the emotional aspect and for what it means to win a Clásico, but also for sporting reasons. The El Chiringuito journalist believes that the form in which Los Blancos arrive is worse than the one Atleti could present. Without a doubt, his statements will cause a stir in the coming hours.

For now we can only wait. The Spanish Super Cup final will be played on Sunday and, until then, both teams will surely try to prepare in the best possible way. As we have said, a victory in the big final against the eternal rival can completely change the course of the season.
