Following their victory in the UEFA Super Cup against Manchester United, Real Madrid set for the first El Clasico in the Spanish Super Cup at the weekend.
First up Zidane's side travel to Barcelona, at the Camp Nou for the match on Sunday and then there's the return a week today.
Meaning that the two El Clasico rivals will have played three times this summer before the league season kicks off.
Real Madrid will have to play the first match without Luka Modric, this is due to suspension.
As reported by Marca the first leg will be bereft of one of its stars because of the two yellow cards the Croatian picked up three years ago in the same competition.
On August 22nd 2014 Real played their cross-city rivals Atletico in the same competition and in the 89th minute of the second like Modric received his marching orders from the referee for a second yellow card.
Meanwhile The Spanish FA gave him a one game ban but based solely in the competition.
Recall that in 2015 Copa del Rey, Real Madrid were kicked out for playing Denis Cheryshev when he was suspended.
