Real Madrid has advanced to the Spanish Super Cup final after defeating Mallorca at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. The final, also held at this venue, will see Los Blancos fighting for another title, and manager Carlo Ancelotti may make one or two changes to the starting lineup, putting Ferland Mendy\u2019s position under scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Mendy\u2019s performance in the Mallorca match was underwhelming both defensively and offensively, raising concerns about his role in the team. With Fran Garcia\u2019s strong performances, Mendy\u2019s spot in the starting XI against Barcelona is uncertain, making this final match pivotal for his future at Real Madrid. If Mendy performs well and successfully neutralizes threats like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, he could re-establish himself as a regular starter, which would be vital for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, Ancelotti might choose to play Eduardo Camavinga, who would strengthen the defense and also contribute as a midfielder. Camavinga\u2019s versatility could complement the attacking players like Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, or Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, which will be crucial, especially against Barcelona, a team known for controlling possession in the midfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
