"Barcelona's 5-0 win over Athletic Club last night gave the team their ticket to the final of the Spanish Super Cup. As the defending champions of the event, there is pressure on the Blaugrana to defend their title this year and tonight they will know who they will face in the final later this week. Their opponent in the title-deciding clash will be one of Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, and the two teams will lock horns later today in a decisive derby clash."
"As relayed by AS in a recent report, 'spies' from both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were present at the venue to witness Barcelona's 5-1 win and took notes of the same. From Los Blancos' camp, Santiago Solari, the current director of football at the club, was in attendance. Juni Calafat, Real Madrid's head of scouting, was also present in the audience to frame a judgment on Barcelona's game play."
Barcelona's 5-0 win over Athletic Club secured a place in the Spanish Super Cup final. The team enters the match as defending champions facing pressure to retain the trophy. The final opponent will be either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, pending their derby result. Scouts from both Madrid clubs attended the semifinal to analyze Barcelona's play. Real Madrid delegates included Santiago Solari and head scout Juni Calafat. Atletico Madrid sent director Mateu Alemany. It is unclear which club benefits most from the scouting, but Barcelona displayed collective confidence, a well-functioning forward line, and a prior 3-1 win over Atletico this season.
