After an intense Supercopa de España semifinal against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid has set focus on how to line up against FC Barcelona in the final. The Real Madrid fans were pleased to see the team be an attacking threat after scoring five goals in the game. Most of the goals came from Rudiger, Mendy, and Carvajal, Madrid defenders. Joselu scored the fourth, and Brahim Diaz scored a crazy goal, which required his pace.
The downside of Los Blancos's performance is the defense conceding three goals. The goals of Atletico Madrid came from a corner and two dodgy goals that could have been prevented. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his satisfaction with the performance because of the fight his players showed on the pitch.
Despite the win, many questions were asked in the defending part of the game, and Ancelotti expressed the tough opponent they faced. Many fans were criticizing Kepa Arrizabalaga for his poor performance. They questioned his goalkeeping for the second Atletico goal and especially for the third goal, which was an own goal.
According to reports from Relevo, Ancelotti and the coaching staff believe that Kepa should remain in the starting 11 for the Supercopa de España final against Barcelona. Their confidence in the Spanish keeper is still high, and they look to even start him in the Copa Del Rey fixture against Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid is still unsure whether to make the Kepa loan deal permanent in the summer due to the shaky performances. According to a report by Standard Sport, the Spanish keeper has expressed his desire to stay at the Bernabeu despite having performances that give Madrid doubts. Kepa will have two difficult tasks when Madrid play Barca in a final and play Atletico Madrid in a crucial Copa del Rey fixture.
