Even though he is the defending champion of the Spanish Super Cup, Xavi Hernandez still feels that Barcelona is not the favorite when facing Real Madrid in the final on Monday, after seeing significant changes in their rival's squad.

"Real Madrid's condition is better than last season. They are now a super team. However, we will try to dominate the game. We will be motivated to look forward to the next match," said Xavi.

"(I'm sure we can win) because of the way we play. We could do it last year. So, Barca needs to dominate and take more chances from Madrid," he concluded.

Ahead of the final match, the Blaugrana actually received good news to be able to perform optimally. Because, Pedri is already in fit condition and reportedly has a big chance of being played as a starter, after he no longer experiences injury problems.

Recover the path of victory

The match against Madrid will also be a mission of revenge for Xavi's team, who suffered defeat to the madridistas with a score of 1-2 in the 2023/24 La Liga competition.
