Barcelona and Madrid will play a two-legged final of the Supercopa and Iniesta believes that the winning team will gain confidence before the start of the season.
Supercopa de Espana takes place between the Spanish La Liga winners and the Copa del Rey winners. In case both these trophies belong to the same team, then the team which finishes second plays with the league leaders.
The Spanish Supercup is played right before the start of the season and this time it’s going to be between two of the biggest sides in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Both these teams share a rivalry like no other, and that is the reason why the Supercopa de Espana just can’t be neglected by any of the two sides.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are going to fight for lost glory, Real Madrid are going to try and make a mark before the start of the upcoming season.
Currently, Real Madrid are favourites to beat Barcelona, as the Catalan giants have recently lost their first-team manager and Tito Vilanova is still trying to get into the stride.
However, with players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 in the balance, no one can really count La Blaugrana out of any competition.
Recently, most of the Barcelona players quoted that winning the Supercopa is not what they are aiming for at the moment, but Andres Iniesta thinks otherwise.
The Spanish midfielder believes that winning the Supercopa de Espana will give the winning team confidence to kick start the upcoming season in an emphatic way.
While speaking about the Spanish Supercup, Andres Iniesta said:
"We treat them as very important, although they won't decide the season. But whoever wins will gain more confidence."
Barcelona will be taking on Real Madrid in a matter of two weeks. However, what they are currently concentrating on is the pre-season friendly game against the Premier League side, Manchester United.
Barcelona and Manchester United will lock horns on 8th of August. Even though the match is being labelled as a ‘friendly’, but there is no doubt that both the teams are going to try hard for a win in order to get the bragging rights.
