FC Barcelona has shamefully left Athletic in the Supercup with five goals (5-0)
The red-white team has already scored four goals in the first half, unable to stop the flood of blaugranas. In the second half, with the match decided, the pace of the crash has dropped considerably.
Athletic has lost to Barcelona in the first semi-final of the Supercup in Saudi Arabia. Ernesto Valverde's team has barely stood in the way and the Catalan team has been far superior.
Athletic has not got off toa bad start, as he has stepped on the rival area in the first few minutes, with Paredeshead-topping in a corner, and his dangerous head has also been deflected with his head by Eric Garcia.
Soon after, Raphinhagave the first warning, but his center found no killer after leaving Unai Simon behind.
Then Sancet tried, but his shot went into thehands of Joan Garcia, then Peterand Fermintried Simon , and the Murgia goalkeeper stopped the two shots without any further trouble.
Blaugrana's siege has intensified in the face of Athletic's fragile defense, and the scoring has begun. Ferran torreshas opened the marker by finishing off a ball from the small area.
Nine minutes later, Fermin, after a play by Raphinha, made the second, finishing only on the second stick the center of the Brazilian. Three minutes later, Roonyput the 3-0 with a cross shot.
Rafinha has closed the first half by making the fourth. The red-white goalkeeper has been able to do little in the face of the Brazilian's great shot. On the only clear occasion of the first part of theAthletic, Oihan Sancet has sent the A0ball to the stick after a great center of the Berenguer.
The second part has not got offto a better start because Barcelona has made the fifth through Raphinha. After the goal, as expected, the pace of the match has dropped considerably, as Flick's team has stopped pressing the accelerator thinking about the final.
Unai Gomez, who came out in the second half, had a clear opportunity in the 75th minute, but his score went outside. Athletic had several opportunities to score more than one goal, but he was still blunt at the rival goal.
