Spanish Super Cup: Real Madrid close in on title but criticism remains of Saudi Arabia's 'image-washing'

Firstpost  

Marcelino’s team will be the underdogs this weekend given they sit ninth in LaLiga, 21 points behind leaders Real Madrid. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Real Madrid will be chasing their first trophy in Carlo Ancelotti’s second spell as coach when they face Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday, but criticism continues to surround the Spanish federation’s decision to stage the tournament in Saudi Arabia. “The final will be played on Sunday and the Spanish federation still has the opportunity to publicly express its support for the harassed and persecuted women in Saudi Arabia, and to work in favour of equal rights.” The group has also criticised the federation for vindicating human rights violations in Saudi Arabia. “The fact the federation has decided to collaborate in this ‘image-washing’ of the Saudi authorities and that it is willing for the Spanish Super Cup to be played in this country until 2029 discredits this tournament and all Spanish football,” Beltran said on Monday. “The physical effort was huge but we kept going until the end,” said Ancelotti, who won four trophies in his first spell as Madrid coach but never lifted the Spanish Super Cup.
