Barcelona will take on Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana on Thursday and Ernesto Valverde has expressed his unease on the tournament's new format.The Spanish Football Federation decided to change it from a tie between the LaLiga Santander and the Copa del Rey champion to a final four and move it to midway in the season and to host it in Saudi Arabia."[The Supercopa de Espana] has always been the first title of the season and it seems that it is the game that opens the year," Valverde said at a pre-match press conference ahead of Barcelona's semi-final against Atletico Madrid.
