To the point that this season with the captains. They are Sergi Roberto and Nacho Fernández. The Blaugrana has 21 titles and the Madrid player has 23. But whoever wins the two this Sunday will lift his first trophy as captain.

It would be very special to be able to lift the trophy as first captain,” said Sergi Roberto. “The demand is maximum from the first day but I feel happy at this possibility,” confirmed Nacho. The Madrid player is playing much more this season due to injuries and he feels very comfortable. “I am in a very happy moment in my life, last year I was more overwhelmed. I’m playing a lot now. I don’t have the slightest worry about my future. “If I wanted to sign tomorrow with Madrid I could sign but this fact would not change my future.” Sergi Roberto is experiencing something similar. “I’m having a great time playing the position I trained in. I hope to be here next season fighting for another title. If the club wants me to continue and the coach also wants there will be no problem,” said the one from Reus, confirming that he wants to continue for one more season.
For Nacho, a victory would mean reinforcing the positive dynamic with which Madrid arrives. “It would be one more step in the good season we are having and even more so because we would beat a very strong rival like Barcelona.”
For Sergi Roberto, the victory would be an incentive for the remainder of the season. “We approached the game thinking about last year, winning the Super Cup gave us an extra boost for the rest of the campaign and I hope this effect is repeated this year. For the team it would be very good and very nice to win.”
