Atletico Madrid set up a derby encounter with Real Madrid for the 2020 Spanish Super Cup after beating Barcelona 3-2 on Thursday. Real had already reached the final following Wednesday's 3-1 win over Valencia.

The two teams from Spain's capital will face off at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday. This is a showpiece final, even if Ben Hayward of the London Evening Standard questioned the new format:

The Supercopa showpiece should have been Barcelona vs Valencia, then seemed odds-on for #ElClasico after last night's game and ends up being a Madrid derby affair between the two teams only in it because of the change of format.
