The first match of the Supercup is only hours away. Real Madrid landed in the Barcelona-El Prat Airport shortly after 14:00 CET even though Portuguese coach José Mourinho usually prefers to travel the day before the game is played. As we reported a couple of hours ago, Kaká, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuri Sahin and Pepe stayed in Spain's capital.
Lineups will be made public about an hour before the game, and Managing Madrid's staff will update this post as soon as they are confirmed.
As always, we'll leave this post open for you to comment on this first Clásico, but please, as always, we ask you to express your views in a respectful way. No matter the outcome, remember to celebrate without gloating, commiserate without insulting, and, more than anything, act like you've been there before--on either side. Stay classy, MM. =
You'll have Managing Madrid's recap shortly after the game ends. As always, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter @managingmadrid, and, coming soon, subscribe to our Tumblr!
