Barcelona managed to reach the Spanish Super Cup final after defeating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at the Jewel Stadium in the semi-finals.
Perhaps the hero of the first confrontation was Gavi, who returned from injury, after scoring the first goal in the 17th minute, then setting up the second goal for Amin Yamal in the 52nd minute.

With his goal, Yamal became the youngest player in history to score a goal in the Spanish Super Cup, at only 17 years old.
The Catalan club will await the winner of the Real Madrid and Mallorca match, scheduled for Thursday, to face them in the final match next Sunday at 10 pm Mecca time.
This is the first time that Barcelona has managed to keep a clean sheet in the first two matches of a new year since 2014.
Szczesny participated instead of Inaki Pena, and according to Spanish media, this decision was made by Hansi Flick for disciplinary reasons after the main goalkeeper was late for the technical lecture before the match.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona is the club that has won the Super Cup the most times, with 14 previous occasions, noting that in the last 5 years it won the title once in 2023, then lost the final of the last edition to Real Madrid 4-1.
