Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao to reach the Supercopa de Espana final. Gavi opened the scoring in the 17th minute after a well-worked team move, with Alejandro Balde assisting.
Gavi then provided the assist for Lamine Yamal to double Barcelona's lead in the 52nd minute. Bilbao had two goals ruled out for offside, with Oscar de Marcos' effort in the 82nd minute flagged offside, and Inaki Williams' goal also disallowed after a VAR review.
Despite not scoring, Raphinha impressed with six shots and seven touches in the opposition box. Barcelona are through to their third consecutive Supercopa de Espana final, where they will face either Real Madrid or Mallorca.
