Atletico without Koke in this Spanish Super Cup final?
Deprived of several of its executives including French
Benzema, Welsh
Bale or even Belgian
Eden Hazard, Zidane will certainly renew the formation which largely beat Valencia on Wednesday in the semi-final.
Jovic will therefore logically have to return to his center forward position. On the other hand, the side
Ferland Mendy will have to give way to the Brazilian
Marcelo who returns to the Merengue squad after several weeks of absence.

Side
Atletico Madrid, it will be time for revenge. Beaten in the final of the Champions League by the Merengues (2014, 2016), the Colchoneros will try to overcome this opponent whom they know very well. Despite the package of their Spanish captain
Koke Resurrection who relapsed from his muscle injury, the Matelassiers remain a dangerous team in this new format of the Spanish Super Cup. Moreover, they are the ones who demonstrated during the clash against Barça (3-2) that they are not afraid of anyone. Even if
Diego Simeone decides to make some changes, the archetype of the formation which heroically disposed of the
Barca will most certainly be maintained.
