Real Madrid

Real Madrid take on Valencia in the first semi-final in the Spanish Super Cup 2023. Kick-off in Saudi Arabia at 2pm ET.

Thanks for joining me (Roddy) as the Spanish Super Cup 2023 gets underway in…Saudi Arabia. The former Liverpool boss also won a UEFA Cup in 2004, which went some way to making up for defeats in Champions League finals in 2000 (under Héctor Cúper) and 2002. Valencia work it well from left to right and Lato is the spare man at the far post. After a fairly even start, Real Madrid were first to crank up the pressure, with Rodrygo, Benzema and Valverde all shooting just wide in quick succession. The referee gives a free-kick (not sure it was) and Cavani is booked for protesting. What a start to the second half! He spots Kluivert on the edge of the box and the Dutchman's strike is goalbound until the defender gets his big head in the way. But it's long after the referee has blown for a free-kick to Valencia for a handball by Vinícius. But we're happy, we're in the final, where we want to be." Gayá missed a penalty on the left and the other day he scored in the middle, so I knew he would go to the middle or to the right and I went half-and-half. There was to be no further scoring and it was Real Madrid who held their nerve in the shootout, as if there was any doubt. Last week they toiled badly to a narrow victory in the Copa del Rey against fourth-tier Cacereño (remember them?).

Some rumours have suggested that Real Madrid are the favourites to sign Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund next summer. It is a club that knows what to do with young players, to make sure they are going in the right direction and continue to perform. Liverpool are expected to give them competition while the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea could try to swoop in as well, depending upon the situation.

In order to land Bellingham, Liverpool have to make an offer that neither Bellingham nor his representative (who is his father) can refuse. Sealing the deal might not even hinge on the the offer Liverpool make but where they finish in the Premier League. This needs to be taken with a healthy pinch of salt, but it doesn't sound like a bad plan. Most notably, the family will probably decide based on the sporting merit of the deal. Given Bellingham's accelerating price tag, the difficulty of doing business with Borussia Dortmund, and other interested parties like Real Madrid sniffing about, nothing is guaranteed. [FSG](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/fsg) will have to propose a really enticing offer in order to convince [Bellingham](https://www.liverpool.com/all-about/jude-bellingham) to join [Liverpool ](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/)over other bidders, but that's a tricky challenge, and it's the kind of thing the Reds have failed to do in the past.

Jude Bellingham stopped to give autographs to fans at Borussia Dortmund's training camp in Marbella, one of which was on a Real Madrid shirt.

The England international, who also impressed in Qatar, has nine goals and three assists to his name this season, which many feel will be his last in the black and yellow of Dortmund. Recent footage from El Chiringuito shows the 19-year-old signing shirts while Dortmund continue their warm-weather training camp ahead of their return to Bundesliga action. [Jude Bellingham and Real Madrid](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ancelotti-hails-bellingham-fernandez-insists-happy-existing-real-madrid-midfield/blta2ceddb6289cf4bf) rages on, with [GOAL having confirmed](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/real-madrid-bellingham-transfer-2023-dortmund-snub-liverpool/bltcdb7f8cad28464ba) that the midfielder is the Liga giants' number one transfer target for the 2023 summer window.

Thibaut Courtois was in inspired form for Real Madrid against Valencia in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final - as he has been all season.

[The Athletic’s Spanish football coverage](https://theathletic.com/4064085/2023/01/09/barca-barcelona-real-madrid/) has expanded… Only injuries — which have forced him to miss four [La Liga](https://theathletic.com/football/la-liga/) and two Champions League games this season — have prevented him from playing more. Courtois has kept up that form this season, even after a disappointing [World Cup](https://theathletic.com/football/world-cup/) in which he was dumped out with [Belgium](https://theathletic.com/football/team/belgium/) at the group stage. That analysis paid off, as the goalkeeper gave his side victory and a place in the final for what could be his eighth title in four years at Madrid. [La Liga news](https://theathletic.com/football/la-liga/), [La Liga table](https://theathletic.com/football/la-liga/standings/); [La Liga fixtures and results](https://theathletic.com/football/la-liga/schedule/) [Dermot Corrigan](https://theathletic.com/author/dermot-corrigan/)is joined by four new writers… Then he proved his worth again in the penalty shootout — even if Ancelotti claimed in the build-up to the semi-final that his team hadn’t prepared for that eventuality. Carlo Ancelotti’s side had scored their four penalties while Valencia had missed one, so their captain [Jose Gaya](https://theathletic.com/football/player/jose-gaya-g9K49hBoW6bRaf0G/) had to convert his effort to keep his side’s hopes alive. with Gaya, I saw he missed the last one against Despite the high pressing from Gennaro Gattuso’s side, he showed few signs of discomfort when passing out with his feet — a skill he has improved upon since joining Madrid. At 6ft 7in (or a touch over 200cm), Real’s goalkeeper hardly had to move from the centre of the goal. [Valencia](https://theathletic.com/football/team/valencia-cf/)’s fifth penalty of the shootout and [Real Madrid](https://theathletic.com/football/team/real-madrid/) were one step away from the Supercopa de Espana final after a 1-1 draw following extra time. It was soon flagged offside, but Courtois was not to know.

The second tournament was staged in Riyadh at the beginning of 2022, and saw Real Madrid again lift the trophy after defeating Athletic Bilbao.

Nacho started at left back on Wednesday, but he may be required to play centrally if both Alaba and Militao are out for a sustained period of time. Having already lost David Alaba to injury, the news that Vazquez and Militao could be set for spells on the sideline is a blow for Ancelotti. Eduardo Camavinga was also withdrawn at half time, with the extent of his injury yet to be determined.
