"With their 5-0 victory, Barcelona achieved the biggest win by any team in a single match in the history of the Supercopa de Espana. It is also the first time that three different players have been involved in three goals in the competition since at least 2010-11 in Fermin (one goal and two assists), Raphina (two goals, one assist)and Bardghji (one goal and two assists)."
"I really appreciate what I saw. We kept a clean sheet again, and that's very good because it gives us confidence in defence. We saw a different mentality and attitude, and I really liked seeing how we played as a team, both in attack and defence. It's been really good to see that. We were very well-connected, in the right positions and creating chances. That's what I like to see and, also, the goals were incredible."
Barcelona beat Athletic Club 5-0 in Jeddah to reach the Supercopa de Espana final. Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez, Roony Bardghji and Raphinha scored four first-half goals, and Raphinha added a fifth after the break. Lamine Yamal began the match on the bench because he had been unable to train for several days with a stomach problem; he entered as a 62nd-minute substitute. The 5-0 result is the biggest single-match win in Supercopa history. Fermin, Raphinha and Bardghji each contributed to three goals in the competition, and Flick praised the team’s defensive confidence and attacking connection.
