Barcelona are two games away from their first trophy of the season and have made the long trip to Saudi Arabia for this year’s edition of the Spanish Super Cup, with the Blaugrana facing last season’s Copa del Rey runners-up Osasuna in Thursday’s semi-final looking to advance for Sunday’s title match against either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid.
The Blaugrana come into this one after a hard-fought battle in their Cup debut away to Barbastro, and a poor performance against a fourth tier side raised even more concerns about the Catalans as they enter the home stretch of the season.
