Match Stats

Athletic Bilbao enter the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals in Saudi Arabia as Copa del Rey holders, aiming for their fourth Super Cup title and second in the four-team format after their 2021 triumph. Ernesto Valverde's side is in fine form, unbeaten in 15 matches, but had a tough start to their Copa del Rey defense, edging past fourth-tier Logroñés on penalties. Athletic will seek their first regulation-time win over Barcelona since 2020, despite last season's extra-time victory in the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona, aiming for their 15th Super Cup title, come into the semi-finals after a commanding 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Barbastro. While the Blaugrana started their La Liga season strong, they struggled before the winter break, winning just one of their last seven league games. Currently third in the table, Barcelona look to build momentum and draw confidence from their recent semi-final successes in this competition, including last year’s 2-0 win over Osasuna.
