Barcelona to face Athletic in Spanish Super Cup final

Barcelona will face Athletic Bilbao in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday after the Basque side beat Real Madrid 2-1 in Thursday’s second semi-final.

Two goals from none other than Raul Garcia secured the victory for Marcelino’s men at La Roselada in Malaga even though Karim Benzema pulled one back for Los Blancos.

The win means there will be no Clasico final and instead Barcelona will face a team they met in La Liga just over a week ago.

Ronald Koeman’s side ran out 3-2 winners at San Mames on January 6 with Lionel Messi scoring twice and Pedri also on target.
