WARSAW, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski says his club can beat Real Madrid in Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final.
In the semifinals, Barcelona outplayed Athletic Bilbao 2-0, while Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0. The final will be played at King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening.
"I'm excited ahead of the clash. The final is going to be a really good game, and we will show our best football because these are special games. It's the first opportunity to win a title. We want to take this trophy," Lewandowski told ESPN on Saturday.
In October, Barcelona smashed Madrid 4-0 away in their first La Liga clash of the season, and Lewandowski said his side was able to beat Carlo Ancelotti's men once more.
"Madrid have amazing players. Individually they are so strong. Sometimes you think that they're playing slowly, that they don't have the game under control, but they're waiting to give you one punch. We have to be ready. However, if we're playing our football, we can win," the Pole added.
Real Madrid currently sits top of La Liga, five points ahead of third-placed Barcelona, who had been leading the table before suffering several defeats in recent weeks.
"We were very good at the start of the season. After many good games, then came a period that we didn't play how we wished. If you want to win the league, you have to win the small games," the 36-year-old concluded. ■
