On Thursday, December 17, the draw for the semifinal stage of the Spanish Super Cup took place, which this time will not leave the Iberian Peninsula.

Catalan Barcelona and Real Madrid managed to avoid a head-on collision already in the first stage, and the draw determined Ronald Koeman’s team to play as a guest team against Real Sociedad, while Zinedine Zidane’s team will be the home team in the match against Athletic Vasco.

The match between the Blaugranas and the Blue and Whites is scheduled for January 13, 2021, while the Blaugranas and the Rojiblancos will fight a day later. The final phase will take place in Malaga, Córdoba and Seville, and the decisive match will be played at the Olympic Stadium in Seville (La Cartuja).

The Spanish Super Cup is played in a confrontation format between four teams. La Real has come to this tournament as the champion of Spain, Barcelona as the second team in the last draw and the Basque teams as finalists in the National Cup, which have not yet played the decisive match for the trophy.

The current winner of the Spanish Super Cup is Real Madrid, who achieved the decisive victory over Atlético last year. The tournament matches were held in Saudi Arabia.

In the middle of this week, the teams held a “rehearsal” of the Super Cup semifinals, in which Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad (2: 1), and Real faced Athletic (3: 1).
