Hello everyone and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time covering the Supercopa de Espana clash between Barcelona and Athletic Club, taking place in Saudi Arabia.

The Blaugrana are heading into the duel on the back of eight straight wins across all competitions. The last of those victories came in the local derby away at Espanyol on Saturday. Joan Garcia stood out in goal with some spectacular saves before late goals from Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski gave the visitors a 2-0 win.

Sitting top of the league table, four points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, Barcelona now turn their focus on winning the Supercopa de Espana for the second year in a row. In fact, no team have celebrated more Supercopa de Espana successes than the Blaugrana, who have won the competition a record 15 times.

In their bid to make it 16 super cup trophies in their cabinet, Hansi Flick's side will face Athletic Club in the semi-finals. Coached by former Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde, the Basque side have struggled to rediscover their form as they are heading into the game following just one victory in their last five games in all competitions.

Sitting eighth in the league table, Athletic Club drew 1-1 away at Osasuna last weekend, when Gorka Guruzeta netted midway through the second half to rescue a point. Los Leones have won the Supercopa de Espana three times, the last one being back in 2021. The head-to-head in this matchup is not in their favour, as Barcelona have won eight of their last 10 encounters.

It remains to be seen which team will advance to the final, where they will face the winner of Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid.
