Match Preview While essentially ceremonial in nature and serving as a proverbial curtain-raiser for the season, the UEFA Super Cup will have an added bite to it in 2018 as city rivals Real and Atletico face off. The derby is baptism of fire for Lopetegui and it will give a good indication on where Los Blancos are at as they embark on life after Ronaldo and Zidane, who set the bar incredibly high at the Santiago Bernabeu. The departure of Ronaldo has left the squad with a decidedly different complexion and, with Modric potentially following the Portuguese out of the club to Serie A, things are far from ideal for the new coach. However, he is not shying away from the challenge.

The Rojiblancos have been excellent in the LaLiga this season, winning 18, drawing four and losing just two of their 24 matches to collect 58 points to put them in command of the title race.
They went through a rough patch last month, winning just won of their four games, before bouncing back with a 2-0 win over Villarreal. A win for the hosts on Sunday might well end Real Madrid's hopes of a title, but a draw or a defeat will open the door for both Barcelona and Los Blancos.

But Real Madrid are in good form, winning five of their last six games to pull themselves back into the title race.
The competition has been dominated by Spanish clubs over the course of the last decade, with Champions League holders Real winning three of the last four editions, while Atletico triumphed in 2010 and 2012. Real arguably hold the bragging rights over Atletico having defeated them in the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals, so Diego Simeone's men are out to prove a point.
