ZuluValencia 0-2 Real Madrid
57: Kondogbia makes way for centre-forward Maxi Gomez, who scored at the weekend.
Follow all the action live from Saudi Arabia as Valencia take on Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final.
Valencia will not be intimidated by their opponents, having only being denied victory against Zinedine Zidane's side by a Karim Benzema stoppage-time equaliser when the two sides met earlier this season.
Madrid are also contending with a spate of injuries after Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale recently joined Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio on the sidelines. It means Zidane may take the opportunity to play a number of the club's exciting youngsters, including Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Luka Jovic. Follow all the action live below:

50: Isco dances through the Valencia defence like they're those stationary cone-figures on a training pitch. He cuts the ball back to Jovic, who loses the ball from underneath his feet. Isco is really up for this.

48: Gameiro and Parejo combine well on the edge of the box, but Casemiro asserts himself before Valencia find space for a chance. Slightly better from the trailing side, but still no dice.

Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid
Let's see what Valencia boss Albert Celades has done about that poor first half display.
If they claw back a draw inside 90 minutes we go to extra time.

Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid
Right, the lads are making their way out for the second half.
Kroos and Isco have been running the show and Valencia will need to find a way of quietening them if they stand any chance of getting back into the game.

The Spain manager agrees with the Spanish Football Association's decision to revamp the competition, who could have guessed...?

Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid
42: Off the post!
Real Madrid are so close to scoring a third, how has that not gone in?
Isco towers above the defenders and heads the ball onto the post from a corner. Jovic thinks he's done just about enough to score from the rebound, but the goalkeeper and defence scramble to see off the danger.
2020-01-08T19:42:15.210Z
Valencia 0-2 Real Madrid
41: It's been one-way traffic for most of this half and Real Madrid have just upped a gear in the last few minutes.

Valencia 0-1 Real Madrid
35: It's still all going Real Madrid's way, who are not being made to work hard by Valencia.
Kroos and Isco are showing just why they're two of the best midfielders in the world with this performance. They're running the show and making everything they do just look so easy.
2020-01-08T19:30:39.930Z
Valencia 0-1 Real Madrid
29: Kevin Gameiro is getting things going here. He tries to play in Torres, who is denied by Ramos. The ball breaks kindly for the Frenchman and he lashes a shot over from the edge of the box. That's probably Valencia's best chance of the game.
2020-01-08T19:27:55.150Z
Valencia 0-1 Real Madrid
26: Valencia have a slight appeal for a penalty as Casemiro gets a bit physical with Soler. The referee says nothing is wrong, not that the shouts from the Valencia players carried much conviction.

Domenech has previous, not that Marco Asensio minds...

21: Valencia have come out of their shell since that freak goal, but there's nobody in a white shirt looking for the ball when they have it in midfield.

12: Isco and Sergio Ramos seem to be the most popular of the Real Madrid players as the former's name rings around the ground.

Valencia 0-0 Real Madrid
11: Valencia are still struggling to get a foot on the ball, and any possession they do have is greeted by boos from the stands.

When is it?
The match kicks off at 19:00 GMT on Wednesday 8 January at King Abdullah Sports City. The final is at 18:00 on Sunday 12 January at the same venue.
How can I watch it?
The match is not available to watch in either Spain or the UK. Spanish television broadcasters decided to boycott the Spanish Super Cup following the controversial decision to host the tournament in Saudi Arabia.
Predicted line-ups
Valencia: Domenech; Wass, Gabriel, Diakhaby, Gaya; Torres, Parejo, Coquelin, Soler; Rodrigo, Gomez
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Modric, Valverde, Kroos; Rodrygo, Vinicius, Jovic
Team news
Zinedine Zidane may welcome Sergio Ramos back to the side after the captain missed Real Madrid’s victory over Getafe through suspension. However, Eden Hazard has not travelled to Saudi Arabia due to an ankle injury and Marcelo, James Rodriguez and Lucas Vazquez are doubts for Los Blancos.
Valencia manager Albert Celades is without Lee Kang-in, Cristiano Piccini, Goncalo Guedes and Manu Vallejo.
Prediction
Nothing separated the sides in December and this should be another closely-contested clash, but Real Madrid’s quality should be enough to earn them a place in the final.
