Carlo Ancelotti has said he believes Real Madrid can improve on last year's LaLiga and Champions League double ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup.

"Age doesn't exist," the 34-year-old said. "When you're missing the best forward in the world [Benzema] of course that affects the team. "They played a great Europa League. They deserved to win it, they played some very strong teams. "We won't be fooled," the Italian said. "We've had another year of working together, improving the alchemy between the veterans and youngsters. "It's a good list: Karim [Benzema], Mariano [Diaz], [Eden] Hazard, Rodrygo, Vinicius [Junior], [Marco] Asensio.

In the 248 competitive meetings between the two teams, Real Madrid leads the head-to-head matchup with 100 wins to 96 for Barcelona, with 52 draws. Some select European matches will be shown on CBS or CBS Sports Network, and those games can be found on fuboTV as well. While it's possible that we could get an El Clasico in either the Copa del Rey or the Champions League as well, those will not be known until much later. The two clubs could potentially meet in the Supercopa de Espana as well, with Real Madrid and Barcelona on opposite sides of the bracket. In La Liga, Barcelona take on Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on October 16, 2022 set for a month before the 2022 World Cup break. However, not all was lost for Barcelona as the Catalan side enjoyed a resounding 4-0 victory at the Bernabeu in March to make their presence known.

Unfortunately, he is a huge doubt for Frankfurt heading into the Super Cup final. Frankfurt were, in no way, shape or form the favourites to win Europe League heading into the competition. And without the winger, Frankfurt’s attack will definitely be handicapped.

MADRID, Spain, Aug 10 - Real Madrid are hoping a summer of stability sets them up for a successful defence of the Spanish title as the season kicks off in ...

“We have generated a lot of hopeful anticipation. There may be concerns about the long-term consequences of these deals for a club with reported debts of 1.3 billion euros, but if they can register the new recruits then they could also be a real force to be reckoned with. Those deals are on top of a sponsorship agreement with Spotify, and on Tuesday it was reported in Spain that Barcelona would sell another 25 percent of Barca Studios to an investment fund for 100 million euros in a bid to satisfy La Liga. The problem is that, by the start of this week, Barca had still not been able to register their new recruits because they had not raised enough money to comply with spending restrictions imposed on the club by La Liga. There have been no dramatic changes at the Santiago Bernabeu, and no hint of a superstar signing to reinforce the attack after Kylian Mbappe turned them down in favour of a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Real were champions by 13 points from Barcelona, and it would have been more had the Catalans not improved enormously in the second half of last season.

Real Madrid missed out on Mbappe this summer but still have lofty goals for 2022-23. Would you bet against this team of mentally strong superstars?

No: we're talking about an enormously gifted 23-year-old, yet to reach the prime of his career, who is contributing far better than a goal per game in Ligue 1 and Champions League (combining goals and assists). That's 252 goals or assists in 236 matches (one every 84 minutes). Incredible. We shall see, but it does mean that if Los Blancos are going to emulate, or exceed, last season's heroics, then they'll be ultra-dependent on four factors: Benzema, Vinicius, Rodrygo and the overwhelming competitive attitude that made them Spanish and European champions. It isn't that Madrid will be down in the dumps, lacking in self-confidence or feeling embarrassed by Mbappe's high-profile and drawn-out decision to stay in Paris rather than move, for free, to the European champions. But his absence, nevertheless, can be a massive factor in how Ancelotti's squad cope with the holy grail -- only Barca and Bayern have achieved it -- of a potential six-trophy campaign. But the minimum one can ask before a ball is kicked in anger is for the club, squad, first team and staff to be in a state of harmony, hunger and happiness. Unless they have a transfer market "ace" up their sleeves, then how Mbappe's decision impacts what Ancelotti and staff were planning, strategically, will be fascinating. But Chelsea beat them in the market to acquire their preferred left-back ( Marc Cucurella), while the departures of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko will be felt and Bernardo Silva patently wants to leave for Barcelona as well. Tottenham Hotspur, arguably, have had the least disruptive summer of England's top four -- but are they really in shape to topple the European champions? Two important, intelligent and potentially impactful signings have been added in Aurelien Tchouameni (a first-choice central midfielder for world champions France) and, as a free agent, Antonio Rudiger, a ferociously competitive defender who is in the habit of winning things for club and country. The French champions sacked another coach -- which is a little like pointing out that September follows August -- plus their director of football. HELSINKI, Finland -- As Real Madrid begin their quest to win six trophies in a single season, it's remarkable how serene and untroubled their panorama is compared to the turbulence facing almost every domestic and European rival. Moreover, under new ownership for the first time in two decades, they are emitting the pungent aroma of turmoil.

Real Madrid is chasing its fifth UEFA Super Cup, not having won it since 2017 – one that will equal it with AC Milan and Barcelona.

Ferenc Puskás scored four goals for Madrid and Alfredo Di Stéfano got a hat trick in that match, with the score 7-3 to Real at full-time. The system was tested at the women's Euro 2022 in England and in the Champions League last season. It will hope to find more success under Carlos Ancelotti, who became the most successful Champions League manager after lifting the UCL last season.

While Real Madrid have been busy this summer on the transfer hunt, Carlo Ancelotti could lineup without his two new signings for tonight's UEFA Super Cup ...

That XI lined up both against Liverpool in Paris and in the 2-0 friendly win over Juventus in their final pre-Super Cup friendly - leaving the likes of Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio and Rodrygo benched. In fact, it would not be a surprise to see the Italian line up the exact same team that started against Liverpool in the Champions League final when Los Blancos step out in Finland on Wednesday night. Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni are competing for spots in the starting XI with the Spanish side’s stars who lifted both the LaLiga and Champions League trophies last season.
