Barcelona and Real Madrid are going to face each other in the Spanish Supercup and Fabregas believes that La Blaugrana take such competitions very seriously.
The Supercopa de Espana is a two-legged final which is between the Spanish La Liga winners and the Copa del Rey winners. However, in cases where both the trophies have been won by the same team, then the final takes place between the first and second ranked
side of the Spanish La Liga.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 won the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao last season, while Real Madrid won the Spanish La Liga; therefore, these two teams are going to face each other in the Supercopa de Espana.
While the Spanish Supercup is considered to be a prestigious trophy as the winner gets the bragging rights, this time it will be even more intense as two of the biggest rivals in the world of football are going to collide in order to take home the Spanish
Supercup.
Real Madrid are Barcelona faced each other in the same competition last season and La Blaugrana were the ones who managed to emerge victorious against Los Blancos.
However, this time things are going to be different for the Catalan giants.
Barcelona are now under their new coach, Tito Vilanova, who is not expected to shine like Josep Guardiola in his very first season.
On the other hand, Real Madrid are on a great run, and Mourinho is expected to destroy each and every opponent that comes in his way.
While speaking about the Supercup, Cesc Fabregas stated:
"They will be intense, competitive games.”
"This is just the start of it, but last season we managed vibrant, extraordinary, high-tension games despite some of the players only just having arrived. We are taking this very seriously."
The two teams are going to meet in the very first leg of the competition on August 23rd, where Madrid are going to travel to the Nou Camp.
The second leg is going to take place six days later, and that time it is going to be Barcelona who will travel to the Bernabeu then.
