Barcelona looked back to their best and punched their ticket to the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday with a 2–0 victory over Athletic Bilbao.
Lamine Yamal played from the start after recovering from injury, unlike his dynamic winger partner in Spain's 2024 UEFA Euro run, Nico Williams, who started from the bench with an ankle injury. Both teams had chances in the first half, but it was Barcelona who opened the scoring with a well crafted play that Gavi finished-off in the 17th minute. In the final minutes of the first half, Wojciech Szczęsny had a couple of key saves to keep the Catalans in front.
