Barcelona powered into the Spanish Supercopa final in style as they swept aside Athletic Club 5-0, with Raphinha at the heart of a ruthless attacking display.
The Blaugrana started at a high tempo and quickly took control, moving the ball sharply and pinning Athletic back. Their early pressure told as they found a breakthrough and never let their grip loosen, repeatedly opening up the Basque side with pace and direct running from the wide areas.
Raphinha was central to almost everything Barcelona did well going forward, stretching the defence, creating space for team-mates and delivering quality in key moments. With Athletic struggling to stem the flow, Barcelona kept turning possession into clear chances and added further goals before the interval to leave the tie effectively decided by half-time.
The second half followed the same pattern. Barcelona stayed aggressive, kept their shape, and continued to attack with purpose rather than simply protecting their lead. Athletic could not find a way to slow the game or build sustained pressure, and Barcelona added more goals as their confidence grew.
By full-time, the result was emphatic: a 5-0 victory that underlined Barcelona’s dominance and booked their place in the Supercopa final. Raphinha’s influence stood out throughout, as he drove the performance that allowed Barcelona to cruise through with a five-star showing.
