But above all, the match has one protagonist who will want to take revenge for what happened in that 4-0 defeat. That day Mbappe played for the first time in a Real Madrid shirt against Barcelona and all eyes were on him. The Frenchman did not have his best day in front of goal and neither did he tactically, as he fell into the offside trap on eight occasions, in what was a disappointing performance.
A very special final
That’s why this Spanish Super Cup final will be special for the French striker, who will want to prove that what happened to him that day was an accident. Mbappe knows that Real Madrid have signed him for these big games and on Sunday there is a title at stake. Once again, the focus will be on what he does because surely the result of this match will depend on his performance. He wants to pay off that debt he owes to his fans. He is looking forward to playing in this new final and proving that he is the best player in the world.
