Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Barca doubled their lead. This time, Lamine Yamal scored after a beautiful pass from Gavi.

With nothing to lose, Bilbao’s players continued to put pressure on the scoresheet, but they were met with a focused defense.

Bilbao even had the ball in Barca’s net twice, but both were ruled out for offside.

Having convincingly defeated Bilbao, Barca won the right to enter the Spanish Super Cup final. Coach Hansi Flick’s team will face the winner of the other semi-final between Real Madrid and Mallorca.
