Goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal earned Barcelona a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal in Jeddah on Wednesday to reach their third successive final.
After creating plenty of early chances, Barcelona took the lead in the 17th minute through Gavi, and although Athletic threatened on more than one occasion, Barça held their advantage going into the break.
Yamal doubled the lead seven minutes into the second half and while Bilbao twice had the ball in the net in the closing stages, they were denied by offside decisions on both occasions.
Barcelona will face the winners of Thursday's semifinal between Real Madrid and Mallorca in the final on Sunday.
