Real Madrid will take on Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday evening, with the winner facing either Atletico Madrid or Athletic Bilbao in the final of the competition.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will enter the contest off the back of a 4-1 victory over Valencia in La Liga on Saturday, which moved them eight points clear at the top of the table.

The capital giants also recorded a 2-1 win over Barcelona when the two teams locked horns at Camp Nou in the league earlier this season.
