Real Madrid will have the chance of winning their first trophy of the season when they meet Sevilla on Tuesday (20:45 CET) at the Lerkendal Stadium in Norway. Playing the UEFA Super Cup Final is always a success for both teams as it means that they reached European glory a season ago, even though the timing of the game seems a bit problematic for Los Blancos, who will have many of their stars sitting on the bench or working in Madrid to get in shape for the start of La Liga.
All things considered, it looks like Lucas Vázquez, James Rodríguez and Álvaro Morata will start upfront, with Casemiro, Luka Modric and Isco in the midfield. If Zidane thinks Ramos is fit enough, the Spanish defender will start alongside Varane, with Carvajal and Marcelo on the flanks. Kiko Casilla will defend Real's goal as Navas is still recovering from a heel injury.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are a much different team from the one that conquered the Europa League title. Coach and mastermind Unai Emery left the club to join Paris Saint-Germain and took Krychowiak with him. Kevin Gameiro is now an Atlético de Madrid player while Ever Banega took his talents to Inter Milan. Those four men were the heart and soul of Sevilla, and while new coach Jorge Sampaoli and signings like Kranevitter, Sarabia or Vietto could ultimately replace the ones who left, it will not be easy for Sevilla to reach their peak.
