"Barcelona are safely through to the final of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup thanks to a dominant 5-0 win over Athletic Club on Wednesday's semi-final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Barça were in full control from start to finish and sealed the victory thanks to a spectacular first half in which they scored four goals and destroyed a helpless Athletic side, and the Blaugrana cruised in the final period"
"The entire front four of Roony Bardghji, Fermín López, Raphinha and Ferran Torres were unplayable and could not be contained by a helpless Athletic defense, and all four found the net. Fermín's amazing finish after a brilliant cross by Raphinha and an outrageous goal by the Brazilian with a fantastic strike into the roof of the net were the big highlights, while Unai Simón's howler that led to Roony's goal certainly will not help the Athletic keeper's status as Spain's number one."
Barcelona beat Athletic Club 5-0 in Jeddah to reach the 2026 Spanish Super Cup final. Barcelona dominated from start to finish, producing a spectacular first half in which they scored four times. Pedri and Frenkie de Jong controlled the midfield and enabled a direct, devastating attack. The entire front four — Roony Bardghji, Fermín López, Raphinha and Ferran Torres — all scored, with Raphinha producing a stunning strike and Fermín finishing brilliantly. Athletic produced almost no resistance and looked disjointed defensively. Barcelona added a fifth goal in the second half and will face the Madrid derby winner in the final.
