Barcelona and Real Madrid have a crucial Super Cup final clash on Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The El Clasico clash is expected to be hotly contested, as both sides want to win a trophy early in the season.

Xavi has now urged his players to show hunger in this game, as Barcelona are yet to win a trophy in a while now, compared to Real Madrid who are current La Liga and European champions.

“Hunger has to motivate us,” said Xavi.

“It’s been a long time since we won a title and we have to be hungry as I told the players [in the semifinal] against Real Betis. The youngsters need to show hunger and the veterans, category and experience.”

Xavi also conceded that Real Madrid will be “very strong physically, tactically and in transitions.”

“They are the strongest rivals in La Liga and they are European champions, and they have a competitive gene in finals, so we have to match that.”

“A title would mean a lot for us and even more because of who we are playing.”
