There will therefore be a Clasico in the final of the Spanish Supercup, Sunday (8 p.m.), in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, where the semi-finals have already taken place. And like Real Madrid on Wednesday at the expense of Valencia (1-1, 4-2 on tab), FC Barcelona eliminated Betis Sevilla at the end of the night (2-2, 4-2 on tab), Thursday.
Between the Barcelonians trying to impose their game and the catchy Sevillians, but also rather technically skilled, the match was rather pleasant and balanced for 120 minutes. Having had the first big chance after taking advantage of a big mistake from Jules Koundé, Nabil Fekir (taken over in extremis by Araujo, 22nd) responded with a well-felt recovery from the left (77th), to Robert Lewandowski, who had opened the score of the right in two stages, on a service from Ousmane Dembélé (40th). Given the other possibilities on both sides, the 1-1 after 90 minutes was therefore rather logical.
A “golazo” from Moron responded to that of Fati
Then, after almost allowing his side to avoid the extension of a right attempt slammed under his bar by Claudio Bravo (90th + 3), Ansu Fati gave the Catalans the advantage with a sublime cross volley from the left foot from the start of extra time (93rd). But, here again, Betis was able to react, with an equally magnificent goal, in another genre: a heel from Moron (101st) on a service from Luiz Henrique (as on the goal of Fekir). The Sevillians finished at ten, Guardado having been sent off (118th) just before the penalty shootout. Which therefore turned in favor of the Barcelonans, who will therefore find their best enemies from Madrid in the final on Sunday.
