Barcelona advances to the final of the Spanish Super Cup
Catalans await the winner of Real Madrid and Mallorca, who face each other on Thursday, also in Jeddah
Barça is better and deservedly wins
Barcelona are finalists in the Spanish Super Cup. With a comfortable 2-0 victory, the team eliminated Athletic Bilbao this Wednesday at the King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Gavi and Yamal, who returned to play after a severe sprain in his right ankle on the 15th, scored the goals for the Catalans.
Barcelona were better in the first half, deservedly opening the scoring with Gavi and reaching a 7-0 lead in shots on goal. However, Bilbao reacted late in the half and had chances to tie the match. Also superior in the second half, Barça took a good lead in the sixth minute, with a beautiful goal by Yamal. The youngster received the ball with his back to the defense, turned and shot, leaving Unai Simón with no chance. After that, the Catalans gave their rivals no chances and conceded very little. Bilbao had a goal correctly disallowed.
