Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup on Thursday night.
Los Blancos have shared the points in two of their last three matches, including a disappointing goalless draw away to struggling Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday.
The winner of Thursday's second semi-final will take on either Barcelona or Real Sociedad in the final of the competition on Sunday.
