Still sluggish, FC Barcelona defeated Osasuna in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup (2-0) this Thursday in Riyadh, joining its rival Real Madrid in the final for a clasico at the top. The Catalans did not reassure about their level of play but ensured the essentials with two goals from Lewandowski (59th) and Lamine Yamal (90 + 3rd). They will therefore face their Madrid rivals this Sunday (8 p.m.) to try to retain their title.
“We had a serious match,” declared Frenkie de Jong, the man of the match. The first half wasn’t so good, but the second half was better. It was difficult to create space, we managed to do it better after the break. »
But this success without panache of the Catalans allows fans of the clasico to treat themselves to a new edition in the distant lands of Saudi Arabia. The day before, Real Madrid qualified for the final of the Spanish Super Cup after a crazy match against Atlético Madrid (5-3) despite an untenable Antoine Griezmann. A Real-Atlético meeting which began in a particular context. Indeed, Saudi supporters had whistled the minute of silence in honor of Beckenbauer.
