Football

Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-0 courtesy of goals from Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal to secure a final against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.

Both Spanish teams had the opportunity to score in the first half, but none converted their chances, as they saw the game enter the break goalless. However, Lewandowski put the Catalan giants ahead about 14 minutes into the second half from an Ilkay Gundogan’s pass to grab his 11th goal of the season across all competitions.

It wasn’t until the dying minutes of the game before 17-year-old Lamal converted his left-footed strike from João Felix’s sumptuous delivery to seal Barca’s win— the first victory the team won with more than a lone goal since September 2023.

Come Sunday at the King Saud University Stadium; in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, it’ll be an Eclassico Super Cup final, after Real Madrid kept it late on Wednesday to secure the first final ticket in a 5-3 win against Atletico Madrid.
