The Real Madrid defense still has one more doubt. David Alaba was absent at the last minute in the semi-final against Barcelona with thigh pain. Nacho started alongside Éder Militão, and could be in the starting 11 again.
Vinícius Júnior and Benzema, who were the big names in the victory against Barcelona and have been having a great season, trained normally and should start playing.
On the Athletic Bilbao side, the team is trying to repeat last year’s feat. The Basques won the tournament after beating Real Madrid 2-1 in the semi-final and Barcelona 3-2 in the final.
