Yamal and Gavi fire Barca into the Supercopa finals Lamine Yamal and Gavi scored as Barcelona sailed past Athletic Club to reach the Spanish Super Cup final. Barcelona secured their place in the Spanish Super Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Club, thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and Gavi. The match took place at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Saudi Arabia, where Hansi Flick's team demonstrated their dominance. Early Lead by Gavi Barcelona started strong, taking the lead in the 17th minute. Alejandro Balde provided a precise pass to Gavi, who calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper, putting Barcelona ahead early in the game. Yamal's Second-Half Strike Teenager Lamine Yamal doubled the lead seven minutes into the second half. He latched onto a chipped pass and skillfully drove the ball past Unai Simon, solidifying Barcelona's advantage. Athletic Club's Disallowed Goal Inaki Williams thought he had narrowed the deficit in the final minute of normal time, but his goal was ruled out for offside, denying Athletic Club a chance to mount a late comeback. Awaiting the Final Opponent Barcelona will face the winner of the Real Madrid and Mallorca semi-final, set to be played on Thursday, in Sunday's final. The team looks forward to the challenge as they aim for Super Cup glory. Registration Drama for New Signings The semi-final arrived too soon for Barcelona's new signings, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, who were granted provisional registration by the Spanish national sports council (CSD) on the same day. Initially unable to meet La Liga's wage cap, Barcelona's appeal to the CSD led to a precautionary measure allowing the duo to be registered temporarily. With the potential to feature in the final, Olmo and Victor could add fresh energy to the squad as Barcelona vies for the Super Cup title.
