Real and Barca set for Super Cup double-header

La Liga champions Real and Copa Del Rey winners Barca will face-off twice in August in the season's traditional curtain-raiser.

The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup will take place at the Nou Camp on August 13, with the return leg set to be played at the Bernabeu four days later.

Real Madrid's official website made the following announcement: "The General Assembly of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have released the official schedule for next season. Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the two leg Spanish Super Cup clash."

"The first leg will be played on Sunday 13th August, at the Camp Nou, while the return leg will be played on Wednesday 16th at the Santiago Bernabeu."

Barca will surely be looking for revenge after being pipped to the title by Real last season, with the game providing the ideal opportunity to claim early season bragging rights.
