&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alex-bregman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Alex Bregman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;’s departure has catalyzed a series of strategic moves for the &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt;, as he opted to join the &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;/strong&gt; for the upcoming season. The Red Sox have reportedly identified a new priority target, potentially influenced by decisions involving the &lt;strong&gt;Toronto Blue Jays&lt;/strong&gt;. Boston is actively pursuing a key player in free agency, according to &lt;em&gt;MLB&lt;/em&gt; insider Mark Feinsand.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Feinsand notes, &lt;em&gt;“If the Blue Jays don’t sign Tucker, a reunion with Bichette would then be the likely scenario.&lt;strong&gt; If Boston fail to secure Bichette, Eugenio Suarez could emerge as a viable free-agent option at third base&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;” highlighting the strategic considerations facing the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Red Sox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the free agency market.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Bregman’s addition to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cubs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;‘ roster has indeed altered the Red Sox’s offseason strategy. With numerous free agents currently available, Boston’s prospects for acquiring new talent remain fluid, &lt;strong&gt;with Bichette emerging as a potential acquisition.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Feinsand also suggests that Suarez could be a significant addition to the Red Sox roster. Suarez was a standout performer last season, &lt;strong&gt;noted for his stints with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Miami Marlins.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/30111713/eugenio-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Eugenio Suarez&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-553733&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Eugenio Suarez #28 of the Mariners looks on after hitting a grand slam.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Red Sox’s rush to secure Bichette&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Speculation surrounds Bichette and his future in Major League Baseball. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/bo-bichette-reportedly-has-unexpected-suitor-with-ny-yankees-seemingly-out&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Recent reports introduce a surprising new contender for Bichette ahead of next season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, while the New York Mets have consistently been mentioned as potential landing spot.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/bo-bichette-receives-curious-offer-not-from-the-blue-jays-to-stay-in-toronto&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Conversations have naturally included a possible reunion with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Blue Jays&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/phillies-reportedly-join-ny-yankees-in-race-for-coveted-free-agent-which-could-seal-jt-realmutos-fate&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The suitors are aware of another Eastern suitor aiming to secure Bichette&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and enhance their roster for the upcoming season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Potential destinations for Suarez&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the Red Sox, Eugenio Suarez is reportedly attracting interest from multiple teams for the upcoming MLB season.&lt;strong&gt; The Pittsburgh Pirates are said to be frontrunners, as reported by Jason Mackey of PG Sports Now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Mariners and the Diamondbacks are also keen on reuniting with Suarez following his tenure with both teams in 2025, &lt;strong&gt;while the Detroit Tigers have likewise inquired about his availability.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;6963e17e83cd5ad944865c2f&quot; data-title=&quot;Which player will the Red Sox sign next season?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the weeks go by, the vast majority of &lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; teams continue to strengthen their rosters as best they can. Even with many free agents still unsigned, the good news   for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/after-blocking-trade-to-ny-yankees-ketel-marte-learns-diamondbacks-final-decision-on-his-future&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arizona Diamondbacks&lt;/strong&gt; is that &lt;strong&gt;Ketel Marte&lt;/strong&gt; wont’ be traded&lt;/a&gt; anywhere for the season ahead. That said, he will need to be well-supported to put the team in contention.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sharing a division with teams of the caliber of the Dodgers, Giants, or Padres could imply that the D-Backs are starting from behind. That said, which positions do they consider reinforcing to be competitive in the 2026 MLB season?&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;During a recent conversation with the media, reported by Alex Weiner on his X account, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-diamondbacks&quot;&gt;Diamondbacks&lt;/a&gt; General Manager Mike Hazen was clear on the matter: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Still in the process of trying to add to our pitching staff. Bullpen, starting, whether it’s depth, whether it’s jumping into the rotation is still the main area of focus.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In addition, &lt;strong&gt;the GM did not rule out the possibility of adding a couple of bats, possibly through platoons&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s clear that Arizona has a lot of work ahead if its goal is to make a big impact next season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/11123223/mike-hazen-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Mike Hazen&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-560087&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;General manager Mike Hazen of the Arizona Diamondbacks.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Helping Marte make a big impact&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the Arizona Diamondbacks officially taking &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ketel-marte&quot;&gt;Ketel Marte&lt;/a&gt; off the trade block, General Manager Mike Hazen is now focused on surrounding his All-Star second baseman with elite talent to spark a 2026 resurgence. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-rumors-alex-bregmans-suitors-pave-the-way-for-return-to-red-sox-with-final-decisions&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;To maximize Marte’s impact, &lt;strong&gt;Arizona may be looking to bolster its power depth by targeting a right-handed hitting first baseman&lt;/strong&gt;, such as Rhys Hoskins or potentially a high-upside veteran like Cody Bellinger, to balance a lineup that struggled with consistency last year. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;By pairing Marte with another premier run-producer and stabilizing a rotation that recently reunited with Merrill Kelly, the Diamondbacks aim to reclaim their status as a legitimate threat in the NL West.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Marte’s impressive stats from last season&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ketel Marte put up impressive numbers in 2025,&lt;strong&gt; finishing the year with a .283 batting average&lt;/strong&gt; and providing elite power from the second base position with 28 home runs. His offensive consistency was highlighted by an .893 OPS and 72 RBIs, &lt;strong&gt;earning him his third All-Star selection and a second consecutive Silver Slugger Award.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh&quot;&gt;John Harbaugh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; could be the next head coach of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills&quot;&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; if they lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round of the 2026 playoffs. According to a report by Mike Florio, Sean McDermott would be at risk.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Watch the Packers. Watch the Bills. They lose this weekend, watch what happens next with one of those two teams. The one that ultimately hires John Harbaugh is going to be the one that fires its current coach. I can’t rule out the possibility if the Bills and Packers lose. I can’t rule out the possibility that they’ll both fire their coaches.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After the Ravens surprisingly parted ways with Harbaugh, there is no doubt that he has become the most sought-after name on the coaching carousel. If the Bills have an opening, it would be a huge opportunity to pursue another &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, this time alongside Josh Allen.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Bills could fire head coach Sean McDermott&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Bills could fire Sean McDermott with an early playoff exit, as it would be seen as wasting Josh Allen’s prime. With John Harbaugh available, a change at the top would be viewed as an upgrade.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;Florio mentioned that all the rumors surrounding Harbaugh are a factor that could add significant pressure on McDermott ahead of that dangerous road matchup against the Jaguars in the Wild Card round.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If this is the play and if it all comes down to what the team does this weekend, that could be what happens next. And if I’m Matt LaFleur or Sean McDermott, I’m pissed that I got to worry about this now thanks to this news that’s been generated directly or indirectly by John Harbaugh.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, setting the stage for an overwhelming attacking display that also saw Fermin Lopez, Roony Bardghji, and Raphinha find the back of the net before halftime.

Today’s referees

There was a late change to the officiating crew in the hours leading up to kickoff. The Royal Spanish Soccer Federation was forced to adjust the original referee assignment after Adrián Cordero Vega suffered an injury and was ruled out from serving as the fourth official for today’s match.
In response, the Referees Technical Committee moved quickly and appointed Adrián Quintero González as his replacement. The rest of the officiating team remains unchanged. José Luis Munuera Montero has been appointed as the main referee for the final, with Íñigo Prieto and Antonio Martínez serving as assistant referees on the sidelines, while Daniel Trujillo oversees VAR duties alongside assistant Davi Gálvez.

Why Mbappe starts on the bench today?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/is-kylian-mbappe-playing-today-for-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-in-spanish-super-cup-2026-final">Kylian Mbappe starts on the bench today</a> as Real Madrid take a cautious approach with his physical condition ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final. Despite being available, Real Madrid decided not to rush his inclusion in the starting lineup against Barcelona. The coaching staff view Mbappe as a potential game-changing option in the second half, depending on how the final unfolds. Head coach Xabi Alonso waited until the final training session before kickoff to assess whether Mbappe was ready to start, ultimately opting for a conservative decision.
Mbappe has been managing a sprain in his left knee, an issue that forced him to play through discomfort during the closing matches of 2025. On December 31, the club officially confirmed the injury, and Real Madrid chose to prioritize his fitness, keeping him in reserve for a possible decisive role later in the match.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills&quot;&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; began the season as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; favorites, but as the weeks went by, that status started to weaken. That led to the New England Patriots taking the AFC East from them after five consecutive divisional titles.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite the fact that Josh Allen put up very solid numbers with 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions, turnovers began to pile up in the second half of the schedule and the defense failed to respond in clutch moments. That increased doubts about this team’s potential.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Now, with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; out of the playoffs, this appears to be a major opportunity for Allen to finally win a championship. In addition, other stars like Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson will also not be in the postseason. The first challenge in the Wild Card round will be very difficult against the Jaguars.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Bills lose today against Jaguars in NFL playoffs?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If the Bills lose to the Jaguars today in the playoffs, they will be officially eliminated. Then, as the No. 3 seed in the AFC, Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville could face the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Houston Texans in the Divisional round. By the way, a loss could also jeopardize Sean McDermott’s future as head coach in Buffalo because John Harbaugh is available.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;What happens if the Bills win over Jaguars in Wild Card round?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If the Bills get a win over the Jaguars in the Wild Card round, they will clinch a spot in the Divisional round. Then, as the No. 6 seed, they could face the Denver Broncos or the winner of the matchup between the Steelers and Texans. In either scenario, they would play on the road next week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If there’s one team that has generated considerable buzz during the offseason, it’s the &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt;. The team’s reported interest in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alex-bregman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Alex Bregman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; led many to believe that they were on the verge of signing the star, but the narrative shifted dramatically when the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; swooped in to secure Bregman for the upcoming season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Amid these developments, a new report has emerged highlighting another potential target for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Red Sox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Bob Nightengale of &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt; reports that the &lt;strong&gt;Red Sox are now setting their sights on acquiring Bo Bichette for the upcoming season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Even as the Red Sox understand &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/bo-bichette-reportedly-has-unexpected-suitor-with-ny-yankees-seemingly-out&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they face a new stiff competition for Bichette&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, it’s evident that they are keen to make a significant splash this offseason. With several other top free agents still on the market, the Red Sox appear determined to bolster their roster.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Joining Bichette are additional names reportedly under consideration by the Red Sox. Among them is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/what-happens-to-nico-hoerner-and-matt-shaw-after-alex-bregmans-175-million-cubs-deal&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Nico Hoerner, a player the Cubs are reportedly resolute about retaining, along with Matt Shaw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; as potential targets for the next season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Red Sox reportedly aware of Bichette’s market value&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Red Sox are well-versed in the financial landscape surrounding former Toronto Blue Jays standout Bo Bichette, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/bo-bichettes-projected-contract-draws-different-numbers-amid-ny-yankees-phillies-and-other-teams-interest&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;as sources indicate they’re aware of Bichette’s desired contract terms within the MLB.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bichette is rumored to be seeking a substantial deal, potentially in the region of $30 million annually, a figure that might pose challenges for the Red Sox, &lt;strong&gt;given their historical reticence towards high-priced offseason free agent deals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Prospective targets emerge for Boston&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In addition to others on their radar, &lt;strong&gt;the Red Sox are reportedly eyeing another prospective addition for the upcoming season: Isaac Paredes.&lt;/strong&gt; According to &lt;em&gt;MLB.com&lt;/em&gt;, Paredes could emerge as a key acquisition target for Boston.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As speculation mounts, Red Sox fans eagerly anticipate who will join their roster, hoping to propel the team back to the World Series, &lt;strong&gt;a stage they last graced in 2018 when they clinched their most recent title.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;6963d0f983cd5ad944865c2e&quot; data-title=&quot;Do you think the Red Sox have a chance to sign Bichette for the next season?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Jacksonville Jaguars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; will face the &lt;strong&gt;Buffalo Bills&lt;/strong&gt; in the Wild Card round of the 2026 NFL playoffs. Unfortunately for the AFC South team, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-hunter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Travis Hunter&lt;/a&gt; will not be available to play&lt;/strong&gt;, but why is the rookie sidelined?&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jaguars traded up to secure the second overall pick, which they used to select Travis Hunter. His &lt;strong&gt;rare versatility as both a cornerback and wide receiver&lt;/strong&gt; made him one of the most intriguing prospects in the class.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the former Colorado standout suffered a &lt;strong&gt;knee injury in late October&lt;/strong&gt;. He underwent &lt;strong&gt;surgery on November 11 to repair his LCL&lt;/strong&gt;, though tests confirmed there was &lt;strong&gt;no damage to his ACL&lt;/strong&gt;—a positive sign for his long-term recovery.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Will Travis Hunter return for the Super Bowl?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Travis Hunter is not expected to be ready&lt;/strong&gt; even if the Jaguars advance to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; LX&lt;/strong&gt;. The two-way star was given a &lt;strong&gt;six-month recovery timeline&lt;/strong&gt;, which would place his return around late April.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to reports, Hunter could be &lt;strong&gt;cleared in time for training camp in May&lt;/strong&gt;. However, the injury has raised concerns among scouts, as it could force him to adjust his playing style moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Hunter has repeatedly stated that he intends to continue playing both cornerback and wide receiver throughout his career. Still, the &lt;strong&gt;physical demands of playing on both sides of the ball are significant&lt;/strong&gt;, and that &lt;strong&gt;workload&lt;/strong&gt; may have &lt;strong&gt;contributed to the knee injury&lt;/strong&gt; he suffered this season.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/afc-south-final-standings-updated-after-texans-colts-and-jaguars-titans-in-2025-nfl-week-18&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h3&gt;The Jaguars are strong on offense&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite Travis Hunter being sidelined, the Jaguars still boast a &lt;strong&gt;solid offense led by &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Trevor Lawrence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The quarterback has enjoyed an impressive season, consistently connecting with multiple weapons at his disposal.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers&lt;/strong&gt; serve as the &lt;strong&gt;team’s primary wide receivers&lt;/strong&gt;, with Parker Washington and Tim Patrick providing depth behind them. &lt;strong&gt;Tight end Brenton Strange&lt;/strong&gt; has also been a reliable option for Lawrence, contributing not only as a pass catcher but also as an effective blocker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A new and exciting El Clasico takes place as &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt; face &lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt; in the &lt;strong&gt;2026 Spanish Super Cup final&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Both teams advance from the semifinals in convincing fashion, but concern surrounds the Madrid side ahead of the matchup. One key question dominates the buildup to the final: &lt;strong&gt;Why is Kylian Mbappe not starting today?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Through Real Madrid’s official X account it was confirmed that &lt;strong&gt;Mbappe will start on the bench today.&lt;/strong&gt; After missing the semifinal win over Atletico, he resumed team training on Friday and also trained normally on Saturday with the rest of the Real Madrid squad, according to Fabrizio Romano. However, it appears &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-lineups-for-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid won’t rush including Mbappe in the starting lineup&lt;/strong&gt; against Barcelona&lt;/a&gt;, perhaps saving their star striker in case he’s needed in the second half.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso waited until the final training session before the Spanish Super Cup final against &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; to evaluate whether Mbappe can start. &lt;strong&gt;Alonso explained that the club is taking a controlled risk &lt;/strong&gt;approach and emphasized that they are not reckless when making decisions.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Mbappe is much better,”&lt;/em&gt; Alonso said during his press conference.&lt;em&gt; “Before the Super Cup started, the idea was not to accelerate his return&lt;strong&gt;. If we reached the final, depending on how he felt, we would evaluate his situation&lt;/strong&gt;. After Saturday’s training, we will have all the information to decide whether he can start or play fewer minutes.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Real Madrid starting XI&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the final confirmation that Kylian Mbappe will start on the bench, &lt;strong&gt;these are the eleven players confirmed by Xabi Alonso to face Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;: Courtois, Valverde, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vini Jr., Gonzalo.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happened to Mbappe?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe&quot;&gt;Mbappe&lt;/a&gt; had been dealing with a sprain in his left knee, which forced him to play with discomfort during the final matches of 2025. On December 31, the club officially confirmed the injury, and the former Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain forward, along with &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid’s medical staff, decided to stop in order to recover his best form.&lt;/strong&gt; He missed the LaLiga victory over Real Betis and the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Atletico Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Which injured players do Real Madrid have?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mbappe’s trip to Saudi Arabia was received as positive news within the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; camp, &lt;strong&gt;but concerns remain over several players following the match against Atletico Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raul Asencio, Rodrygo Goes, and Antonio Rudiger&lt;/strong&gt; left that game with physical issues, with Asencio and Rodrygo progressing well and expected to be available for the final, while Rudiger remains doubtful due to knee problems. A key match to follow regardless, with many &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/where-to-watch-barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-in-the-usa-2026-spanish-supercopa&quot;&gt;options to watch this Barcelona vs Real Madrid final in the USA&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

El Clásico delivers one of the most iconic rivalries in &lt;strong&gt;soccer &lt;/strong&gt;history, and both teams arrive after navigating demanding semifinals to reach the most anticipated game of the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Real Madrid come into the final after edging Atlético Madrid in a tightly contested semifinal, while &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-athletic-club-live-spanish-super-cup-2026-semifinals&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona arrive with momentum after a dominant 5–0 win over Athletic Bilbao&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In LaLiga, the Blaugrana currently sit at the top of the table with a four-point advantage.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/atletico-madrid-vs-real-madrid-live-spanish-super-cup-2026-semifinals&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid reach this clash after defeating Atlético Madrid 2–1 in the semifinal derby&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In domestic league play, they remain in second place behind their historic rivals. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The most recent meeting between these teams took place on October 26, 2025, on Matchday 10 of the 2025–26 LaLiga season at the Santiago Bernabéu, &lt;strong&gt;where Real Madrid claimed a 2–1 victory with goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham&lt;/strong&gt;, while Fermín López scored for Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt;

With that victory, Real Madrid would secure their 14th title in the competition, narrowing the gap with their longtime rivals. The triumph would also mark Xabi Alonso’s first official trophy as Real Madrid’s head coach since taking over in June 2025, ending a streak of recent final losses against Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If the match ends level after regulation time,&lt;strong&gt; current RFEF regulations state that no extra time will be played&lt;/strong&gt;. To prevent excessive physical strain, the final would be &lt;strong&gt;decided directly by a penalty shootout&lt;/strong&gt; to determine the champion.

Therefore, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-lineups-for-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;Real Madrid’s lineup against Barcelona today&lt;/a&gt; will show a star-studded team.&lt;/p&gt;

Attention is now shifting toward the scale of the crowd expected for the final.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;tournament’s move to the Middle East&lt;/strong&gt; has reshaped its atmosphere, blending European tradition with global spectacle. Stadium capacity, ticket demand and international travel all play a role in defining the event’s reach, also increasing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-how-much-money-does-the-winner-of-the-spanish-super-cup-2026-get&quot;&gt;prize money for the Spanish Super Cup winner&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As kickoff approaches and both &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-lineups-for-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;Real Madrid and Barcelona field their strongest lineups&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;attendance figures&lt;/strong&gt; are becoming a key part of the conversation. The numbers not only reflect fan interest, but also underline why Saudi Arabia remains central to the Super Cup’s future.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Spanish Super Cup 2026: How big will the crowd be for the final?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Around 60,000 spectators are expected at the Spanish Super Cup 2026 final&lt;/strong&gt;. While the RFEF has yet to release an official attendance number, all signs point to a near-capacity crowd for Barcelona vs &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt;, consistent with recent Super Cup finals held in Saudi Arabia.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09110407/lamine-yamal-1-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559084&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona in 2025 (Source: Alex Caparros/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The match is set to be played at Alinma Stadium (King Abdullah Sports City), a venue built for major international events and &lt;strong&gt;capable of hosting just over 62,000 fans&lt;/strong&gt;. In previous editions of the tournament, finals have regularly pushed attendance toward that limit.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This year’s tournament has followed a similar pattern. &lt;strong&gt;The semifinals already drew crowds well above 50,000&lt;/strong&gt;, reinforcing expectations that the final — the competition’s main attraction — will draw an even larger turnout.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ticket demand in Saudi Arabia has remained strong&lt;/strong&gt;, particularly for high-profile European clashes, and organizers have relied heavily on the local and regional fan base rather than traveling supporters from Spain.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That dynamic has become a defining feature of the Spanish Super Cup’s Saudi era. While only a limited number of fans make the trip from Europe, the atmosphere is sustained by a growing local interest in elite soccer and the global appeal of El Clasico. For those not attending the game live, there will still be several options to watch the broadcast of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/where-to-watch-barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-in-the-usa-2026-spanish-supercopa&quot;&gt;Barcelona vs Real Madrid final, especially in the USA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears&quot;&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; stunned the &lt;strong&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/strong&gt; in the 2026 Wild Card round. After the game, head coach &lt;strong&gt;Ben Johnson&lt;/strong&gt; made sure to &lt;strong&gt;ignite the rivalry&lt;/strong&gt; between the two teams with a &lt;strong&gt;direct five-word jab&lt;/strong&gt; aimed at their NFC North rivals.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Chicago had to overcome an &lt;strong&gt;18-point deficit&lt;/strong&gt; to stay alive in the 2026 NFL playoffs. The Bears, led by Ben Johnson, delivered an &lt;strong&gt;astonishing second half in which they shut down the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt;’ offense&lt;/strong&gt; and secured a spot in the Divisional Round.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After the final whistle, Ben Johnson approached &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/matt-lafleur-makes-decision-on-packers-future-after-bears-eliminate-green-bay-in-2026-playoffs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Matt LaFleur—who has since addressed his future with the Packers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;—to greet him. However, the exchange was limited to a &lt;strong&gt;cold handshake without eye contact&lt;/strong&gt;, further proving that the rivalry between the two coaches and teams remains as intense as ever.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What did Ben Johnson say about the Packers?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Following their 31-27 win over Green Bay, the Bears returned to the locker room to celebrate the dramatic victory. In a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw0uqT9qWWc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;video later uploaded to YouTube&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Ben Johnson appeared visibly energized and emotional&lt;/strong&gt;, delivering a five-word message directed at the Packers that quickly caught fans’ attention.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“F*** the Packers! F*** them!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Johnson said at the beginning of the video. His excitement was evident, and it was also clear that he is &lt;strong&gt;far from a fan of Green Bay&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Johnson&lt;/a&gt; joined the Bears for the 2025 NFL season, he previously said he &lt;strong&gt;enjoyed defeating Matt LaFleur twice a year while serving as the Lions’ offensive coordinator&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, he has managed to do so as the head coach of Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/2026-nfl-playoff-bracket-updated-after-bears-packers-and-rams-panthers-in-wild-card-round&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;During the regular season, the &lt;strong&gt;Bears went 1-1 against the Packers&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Johnson secured his &lt;strong&gt;second win of the year&lt;/strong&gt; over Green Bay at the &lt;strong&gt;most important moment&lt;/strong&gt;, eliminating LaFleur’s team from the 2026 playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Who will the Bears face in the Divisional Round?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After defeating the Packers in the Wild Card round, the &lt;strong&gt;Bears advance to the Divisional Round&lt;/strong&gt;, but they do not yet know their next opponent in the 2026 NFL playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If the San Francisco&lt;strong&gt; 49ers&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;defeat&lt;/strong&gt; the Philadelphia&lt;strong&gt; Eagles&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;Bears will face the Los Angeles Rams&lt;/strong&gt;. However, if &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia beats San Francisco&lt;/strong&gt;, Chicago will &lt;strong&gt;take on the defending Super Bowl champions&lt;/strong&gt; in the Divisional Round.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia Eagles&lt;/strong&gt; are set to make their debut in the &lt;strong&gt;2026 NFL playoffs&lt;/strong&gt;, and hopes of returning to the &lt;strong&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/strong&gt; remain intact. Their last outing in Week 18 ended with an unexpected loss to the Commanders, which also resulted in a significant fine for one of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts&quot;&gt;Jalen Hurts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;’ teammates.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Only a few minutes into the second quarter, safety &lt;strong&gt;Sidney Brown deliberately hit his opponent in the torso with his helmet&lt;/strong&gt;, an action that did not go unnoticed by the authorities.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although the referees did not throw any yellow flags during the same game, according to the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://operations.nfl.com/inside-football-ops/rules-enforcement/gameday-accountability/&quot;&gt;NFL’s official website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Brown was heavily fined a total of $46,371 for unnecessary roughness.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Another &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles&quot;&gt;Eagles&lt;/a&gt; player fined during this game was &lt;strong&gt;Darius Cooper&lt;/strong&gt;, although for a significantly smaller amount. &lt;strong&gt;It was $4,694, and the reason was unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Eagles’ 2026 playoffs debut&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Philadelphia Eagles begin their postseason journey today as &lt;strong&gt;they host the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field&lt;/strong&gt; for a high-stakes Wild Card matchup. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/nfc-playoff-bracket-and-final-standings-updated-after-2025-week-18&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Fresh off a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; MVP performance last season, Jalen Hurts looks to cement his legacy by leading the Birds on another deep run, relying on his dual-threat dominance and the explosive addition of Saquon Barkley to the backfield. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If the Eagles secure a victory today against their NFC rivals, &lt;strong&gt;they are guaranteed a trip to Soldier Field next weekend to face the No. 2 seeded Chicago Bears&lt;/strong&gt; in the Divisional Round.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Andy Reid and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are already working to try to bounce back in the 2026 NFL season. The road will not be easy considering that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has a long way to go to recover from a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/patrick-mahomes-knee-injury-update-what-happened-to-chiefs-quarterback-in-game-against-chargers&quot;&gt;knee injury&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Another factor that increases uncertainty is the possibility that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-travis-kelce-confirms-retirement-decision-timeline-with-chiefs&quot;&gt;Travis Kelce will confirm his retirement from football&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. So far, the tight end has not announced his final decision, but that will undoubtedly have a major impact on how to approach free agency.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Additionally, even though they didn’t reach the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; this year, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-could-reportedly-lose-andy-reids-coach-to-ny-giants-next-season&quot;&gt;Chiefs could lose several coaches&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the coming weeks. Very important names might leave the team in search of new opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Chiefs could lose key coaches before 2026 season&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Chiefs received confirmation that the Tennessee Titans have interviewed Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo for their head coaching position. This means that the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator could potentially leave Andy Reid’s staff.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;It is very likely that Nagy will not return. His contract has expired and he has also received interest from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-could-lose-super-bowl-champion-coach-in-2026-as-report-confirms-andy-reid-assistant-might-join-afc-team&quot;&gt;other teams such as the Baltimore Ravens&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Arizona Cardinals.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Chiefs have already &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-reportedly-part-ways-with-andy-reid-coach-ahead-of-2026-nfl-season&quot;&gt;fired wide receivers coach Connor Embree&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Defensive quality control coach Louie Addazio and assistant defensive line coach Alex Whittingham also announced that they’re out of the team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, in what would represent a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-could-lose-andy-reids-coach-for-2026-season-in-shocking-move-to-nfc-east-team&quot;&gt;shocking move for the Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, defensive line coach Joe Cullen was interviewed by the Washington Commanders for the defensive coordinator position.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spanish-super-cup&quot;&gt;Spanish Super Cup&lt;/a&gt; 2026&lt;/strong&gt; will once again feature a high-stakes final between &lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;, with both clubs seeking to lift their first trophy of the year. In last year’s edition, Hansi Flick’s side claimed the title following a commanding &lt;strong&gt;5-2&lt;/strong&gt; victory over Xabi Alonso’s squad—a result &lt;em&gt;Los Blancos&lt;/em&gt; will be desperate to avoid repeating. Make sure &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/where-to-watch-barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-in-the-usa-2026-spanish-supercopa&quot;&gt;to watch the live broadcast of this Barcelona vs Real Madrid rematch in the USA&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Since the introduction of the new format by the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2020, this marks the &lt;strong&gt;fourth consecutive year&lt;/strong&gt; that &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona&quot;&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; and Real Madrid have met in the final, with each side currently holding two titles under this format.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Barcelona enter the match in peak form. Currently &lt;strong&gt;leading LaLiga with 49 points&lt;/strong&gt;, they &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-athletic-club-live-spanish-super-cup-2026-semifinals&quot;&gt;crushed Athletic Club 5-0&lt;/a&gt; in the semifinals. Furthermore, they welcome back &lt;strong&gt;Lamine Yamal&lt;/strong&gt; to the starting team after he was rested in the previous match, playing only some minutes from the bench.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; face a more challenging outlook. Xabi Alonso’s men sit &lt;strong&gt;second&lt;/strong&gt; in LaLiga with &lt;strong&gt;45 points&lt;/strong&gt; and secured their spot in the final with a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Madrid Derby. However, they may once again be without &lt;strong&gt;Kylian Mbappe&lt;/strong&gt; for this decisive clash.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/07204504/Kylian-Mbappe-2-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-541574&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Kylian Mbappe is Real Madrid’s current top scorer, and his presence in the final is uncertain. (Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Barcelona confirmed lineup&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;For the final, Hansi Flick is expected to use the same squad that dismantled Athletic Club, with only one change to the starting XI. Despite the high level shown by the youngster &lt;strong&gt;Roony Bardghji&lt;/strong&gt;, the Swede will be replaced by Lamine Yamal, who is fully recovered physically. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-how-much-money-does-the-winner-of-the-spanish-super-cup-2026-get&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;prize money at stake in the Spanish Super Cup final&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; also explains why Barcelona aim to beat Real Madrid today.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/why-is-the-spanish-super-cup-2026-being-played-in-saudi-arabia&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;This will be the Barcelona lineup to face Real Madrid: &lt;strong&gt;Joan Garcia; Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde; Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Fermin Lopez; Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Real Madrid confirmed lineup&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Xabi Alonso is facing a few selection headaches for this match. Although it has been confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will travel with the squad, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/is-kylian-mbappe-playing-today-for-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-in-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mbappe is not playing today against Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The Spanish manager made some changes from the starting XI that defeated Atletico Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This would be the lineup to face Barcelona: &lt;strong&gt;Thibaut Courtois; Federico Valverde, Dean Huijsen, Raul Asencio, Alvaro Carreras; Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham; Rodrygo, Gonzalo Garcia, Vinicius Jr.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barcelona&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt; meeting in the &lt;strong&gt;Spanish Super Cup&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is never just another date on the calendar. Beyond the rivalry and history, the 2026 edition arrives with added weight, shaped by modern soccer’s growing financial stakes.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Trophies still matter, but so does what comes with them. In an era where revenue streams define planning and ambition, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spanish-super-cup&quot;&gt;Super Cup&lt;/a&gt; has evolved into more than a preseason prize&lt;/strong&gt;, quietly reflecting the business side of elite competition.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As the final approaches, attention drifts past tactics and lineups. The outcome carries implications that stretch beyond celebration, tying sporting success to &lt;strong&gt;economic reward&lt;/strong&gt; without revealing the full figures just yet. Therefore, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-lineups-for-spanish-super-cup-2026-final&quot;&gt;Barcelona and Real Madrid are showing up with strong lineups&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What is the prize money for the 2026 Spanish Super Cup?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The winner of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup is expected to earn &lt;strong&gt;around €2 million in prize money&lt;/strong&gt;, on top of participation fees, according to reports from AS and figures tied to the RFEF’s Saudi Arabia agreement. &lt;strong&gt;The runner-up would receive roughly €1.4 million&lt;/strong&gt;, with semifinalists also taking home payouts.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09103624/lamine-yamal-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559053&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona in 2025 (Source: Judit Cartiel/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Those numbers come from a broader prize pool estimated at €21 million&lt;/strong&gt;, distributed among the four teams involved. While the Super Cup is still played over just a few matches, its financial weight now rivals longer domestic competitions, reflecting its commercial growth. The expected &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-vs-real-madrid-how-many-fans-are-attending-the-spanish-super-cup-2026-final-in-saudi-arabia&quot;&gt;attendance for the Barcelona vs Real Madrid final&lt;/a&gt; also explains the financial prize this event is able to provide.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Behind the scenes, the tournament generates far more through sponsorships and broadcasting. &lt;strong&gt;Much of that revenue flows back to the RFEF&lt;/strong&gt;, but clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid benefit from both sporting success and their market value, making the final as much about economics as silverware. Make sure to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/where-to-watch-barcelona-vs-real-madrid-live-in-the-usa-2026-spanish-supercopa&quot;&gt;watch this exciting Spanish Super Cup final in the USA&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How the Spanish Super Cup 2026 prize money is distributed&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The RFEF has raised the &lt;strong&gt;total amount allocated to participating clubs for the 2026 Spanish Super Cup to €21.3 million&lt;/strong&gt;, up from nearly €19 million the previous year, according to AS. A large portion of that figure is guaranteed before a ball is even kicked.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Simply qualifying for the tournament now earns &lt;strong&gt;each of the four teams a share of €16.3 million&lt;/strong&gt;, an increase compared to last season’s base distribution. While the exact split varies depending on historical success and international pedigree, Real Madrid and Barcelona are once again positioned to receive the largest portions of that guaranteed sum.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On top of that base payment, €5 million is tied directly to match results&lt;/strong&gt;. The teams finishing third and fourth will each collect €800,000, making the overall structure more balanced than in previous editions—though the biggest rewards still favor the finalists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;2026 NFL playoffs&lt;/strong&gt; kicked off, and Saturday’s games showcased that perfectly. Against all odds, the &lt;strong&gt;Carolina Panthers&lt;/strong&gt; proved to be a worthy opponent for the &lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles Rams&lt;/strong&gt;, who, relying on the experience of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford&quot;&gt;Matthew Stafford&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Davante Adams&lt;/strong&gt;, secured a hard-fought victory to advance to the next round.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Wins like this often come when a team has a quarterback experienced in high-stakes games. Stafford, before the final stretch where his &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams&quot;&gt;Rams&lt;/a&gt; ultimately turned the game around, told his offensive teammates, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Let’s go snatch these guys’ hearts.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After the game wrapped up, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams&quot;&gt;Davante Adams&lt;/a&gt; spoke with the media and shared an interesting reflection on his QB’s words during a critical moment of the matchup, when the tide ultimately turned in its favor.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“That was pretty cold, just to hear that,” &lt;/em&gt;Adams said, via &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.therams.com/news/feature-matthew-stafford-snatches-panthers-hearts-to-send-rams-to-divisional-round-2025-playoffs&quot;&gt;the team’s website&lt;/a&gt;. “And I actually literally smiled in the moment, because I thought that was like one of the most gangster things you could say in that moment, honestly. And to hear him say that, and the look on his on his face, and then throw the touchdown, and then the look on his face after that, &lt;strong&gt;was just MVP stuff.&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/11094254/matthew-stafford-davante-adams-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Matthew Stafford with Davante Adams&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559889&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Matthew Stafford #9 of the Los Angeles Rams celebrates with Davante Adams.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Stafford’s MVP-worthy performance against the Panthers&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In a performance that solidified his case for the league’s highest individual honor, Matthew &lt;strong&gt;Stafford delivered an absolute masterclass&lt;/strong&gt; in the clutch to lead the Los Angeles Rams past the Carolina Panthers. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/matthew-stafford-gets-important-update-on-his-nfl-career-even-if-rams-lose-to-panthers-in-2026-playoffs&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;After a mid-game slump, the ageless veteran turned into a fourth-quarter assassin, &lt;strong&gt;completing 12-of-15 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns in the final frame alone&lt;/strong&gt;. His surgical precision was most evident during the game-winning 71-yard march, which he capped off with a perfectly placed 19-yard strike to Colby Parkinson with just 38 seconds remaining. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This MVP-type display not only secured a 34-31 victory but also broke Kurt Warner’s franchise record for postseason passing touchdowns, proving once again that &lt;strong&gt;Stafford remains one of the most dangerous late-game quarterbacks in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; history.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What’s next for the Rams?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Following their thrilling Wild Card victory, &lt;strong&gt;the Los Angeles Rams’ next destination depends entirely on the outcome of the 49ers-Eagles matchup&lt;/strong&gt;. If the Eagles win, the Rams will travel to Seattle to face the top-seeded Seahawks in a division rivalry showdown. However, if the 49ers pull off the upset, Los Angeles will instead head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the most surprising developments in the &lt;strong&gt;MLB&lt;/strong&gt; world recently was the &lt;strong&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;/strong&gt;‘ signing of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alex-bregman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Alex Bregman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for the upcoming season. This unexpected move comes on the heels of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/alex-bregman-receives-strong-six-word-message-from-alex-cora-about-his-red-sox-future&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora sharing a cryptic six-word message about his future&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. According to an analysis from Steve Perrault of the Underdog, the &lt;strong&gt;Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt; gain more by let Bregman leave to the Cubs and recoup the invest made for &lt;strong&gt;Rafael Devers&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Perrault mentioned that after securing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rafael-devers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Rafael Devers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with a $331 million contract and Bregman for $120 million, the Red Sox made a strategic move by selling Devers to the San Francisco Giants for $251 million. With Bregman now signed by the Cubs, &lt;strong&gt;the Red Sox are relieved from the $80 million payout required due to Bregman’s contract opt-out.&lt;/strong&gt; This maneuver effectively recoups their initial investment in Devers.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Losing a star of Bregman’s caliber is more than just a headline for the Red Sox; it signifies an ongoing effort to reshape their roster. While Bregman is anticipated to make a significant impact by bolstering the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Cubs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;‘ lineup during the regular season, &lt;strong&gt;the Red Sox are focused on alleviating their financial commitments to pursue new talent elsewhere.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Projections from &lt;em&gt;Baseball Reference&lt;/em&gt; suggest that Bregman could have an even more impressive season in 2026 than he did in 2025, &lt;strong&gt;forecasting 66 runs, 118 hits, and 19 home runs, with a .784 OPS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/25155924/alex-bregman-5-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Alex Bregman smiles&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-551436&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Alex Bregman at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Red Sox reportedly eye new targets after Bregman signs with Cubs&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Red Sox are recalibrating their offseason strategy after Bregman inked a deal with the Chicago Cubs. In the wake of Bregman’s move, Boston’s front office has reportedly shifted its focus to other potential acquisitions, with Bo Bichette emerging as a high-priority target. However, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/bo-bichette-reportedly-has-unexpected-suitor-with-ny-yankees-seemingly-out&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the pursuit of Bichette is expected to be competitive, as another franchise has entered the race for the star shortstop.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/what-happens-to-nico-hoerner-and-matt-shaw-after-alex-bregmans-175-million-cubs-deal&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;In the quest to bolster their roster, the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-red-sox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Red Sox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are considering additional candidates who could fill the void left by Bregman. &lt;strong&gt;Among the names being discussed are Nico Hoerner of the Cubs and Isaac Paredes from the Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;. Both players present intriguing options for the Sox as they look to strengthen their lineup.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The anticipation among Red Sox fans is palpable, as they eagerly await new signings to enhance the team’s competitiveness. With Bregman off the table and several other key figures from the offseason market already locked into new contracts elsewhere, &lt;strong&gt;the pressure is on Boston’s management to deliver impactful additions to the roster.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;6963b78283cd5ad944865c2a&quot; data-title=&quot;Will the Red Sox sign another player for the next season?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Chicago Bears&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; came from behind and &lt;strong&gt;stunned the Green Bay Packers&lt;/strong&gt; in the 2026 Wild Card round. After his team was &lt;strong&gt;eliminated&lt;/strong&gt; from the playoffs, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Matt LaFleur&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has now &lt;strong&gt;addressed his future&lt;/strong&gt; as head coach.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In a thrilling game, the &lt;strong&gt;Bears overcame an 18-point halftime deficit&lt;/strong&gt; to defeat the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt; 27-31. Naturally, all eyes turned to &lt;strong&gt;Matt LaFleur&lt;/strong&gt;, whose &lt;strong&gt;job security came into question&lt;/strong&gt; after Green Bay failed to protect such a comfortable lead.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Yeah, with all due respect to your question,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; LaFleur said in press conference- &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Now’s not the time for that.&lt;/strong&gt; I mean, I’m just hurting for these guys. You know, I can only think about just what just happened, and there will be time for that.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, he also unveiled that he &lt;strong&gt;desires to continue&lt;/strong&gt; in the Packers despite this unfortunate exit from the 2026 playoffs.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;“It means everything to me. This is the greatest organization in the world, in my opinion.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Matt LaFleur wants to continue, but do the Packers?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After the game, multiple NFL reports indicated that both &lt;strong&gt;Matt LaFleur and the Packers are currently trending toward continuing their partnership&lt;/strong&gt;. However, prolonged silence during the offseason could increase uncertainty around the franchise.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Before the Wild Card round, reports surfaced suggesting the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-kevin-stefanski-linked-to-shocking-move-from-browns-to-nfc-playoff-team&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Packers—despite being a playoff team—could have interest in Kevin Stefanski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Now that Green Bay exited the postseason early, those rumors may gain traction.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/2026-nfl-playoff-bracket-updated-after-bears-packers-and-rams-panthers-in-wild-card-round&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Ahead of the 2025 NFL season, the Packers were viewed as &lt;strong&gt;legitimate contenders&lt;/strong&gt;. Instead, they finished with a &lt;strong&gt;disappointing 9-7-1 record&lt;/strong&gt; and were eliminated in the Wild Card round—results that clearly fall short of front-office expectations.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;LaFleur has struggled to build the dominant team many expected in Green Bay. With notable coaching names such as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;John Harbaugh&lt;/a&gt;, Kevin Stefanski, and Mike McDaniel potentially available&lt;/strong&gt;, the Packers could consider moving on rather than continuing to trust LaFleur after several underwhelming seasons.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Key mistakes&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Against the Bears, the &lt;strong&gt;Packers scored 27 points but left seven more on the field&lt;/strong&gt; due to &lt;strong&gt;two missed field goals&lt;/strong&gt; and a &lt;strong&gt;missed extra point&lt;/strong&gt; by Brandon McManus. Those missed opportunities could have provided Green Bay with a much safer cushion late in the game.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, the loss cannot be pinned solely on McManus. On the final drive, with the &lt;strong&gt;Packers needing a touchdown to win&lt;/strong&gt;, several &lt;strong&gt;receivers dropped catchable passes&lt;/strong&gt; from Jordan Love. On the final play, a bad snap disrupted the timing, preventing Love from delivering the ball to the end zone under ideal conditions. Key mistakes that led to a nightmare for Green Bay.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;6963b51383cd5ad944865c29&quot; data-title=&quot;Should the Packers fire Matt LaFleur?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
