Barca ran out winners last year thanks to a 3-1 victory and Xavi perhaps needs a similar result this evening, with his side trailing both Madrid and Girona in the LaLiga title race.

Raphinha is out injured after coming off during the first half of their 2-0 semi-final win over Osasuna on Thursday, though Pedri starts after being introduced off the bench.

Madrid, meanwhile, have Federico Valverde available despite the Uruguayan midfielder being forced off during their thrilling 5-3 win over bitter rivals Atletico on Wednesday.

Dani Carvajal is also fit despite missing training due to muscle fatigue ahead of the Supercopa de Espana.

Real Madrid starting XI: Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius

Subs: Kepa, Modric, Camavinga, Joselu, Ceballos, Garcia, Brahim, Guler, Martin, Paz, Tobias

Barcelona starting XI: Pena; Kounde, Christensen, Kounde, Balde; De Jong, Pedri, Gundogan; Roberto, Lewandowski; Torres
