If the Spanish champions triumph in the UEFA Super Cup this Wednesday, they will make history as the team with the most victories in the competition, claiming their sixth title, per Madrid Universal.

Currently tied with FC Barcelona and AC Milan at five wins each, Real Madrid have the chance to surpass their eternal rivals and secure a record sixth trophy.

Kylian Mbappe to start from the bench?

Ancelotti will likely stick with the core of last season's Champions League-winning squad, suggesting that new signings like Endrick and Kylian Mbappé might not start.

His priority seems to be maintaining the stability of a proven lineup:

“You have to consider the players who won the Champions League,” Ancelotti recently stated.

With Toni Kroos and Nacho having departed this summer, Eder Militao is expected to step in for Nacho, while Luka Modrić, who has impressed on the US tour, is likely to take Kroos's place

Meanwhile, according to Football Espana, Modrić and Carvajal could become the players with the most UEFA Super Cup titles.
