The Spanish Super Cup will come to an end this Sunday, and the two best teams in the tournament will determine the winner in an interesting showdown at the Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla.
Barcelona were the first team to earn their spot in the final with their win against Real Sociedad. Los Culés struggled to get to the title clash after drawing 1-1 with the Basque side after 120 minutes. During the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen stepped up for the Blaugrana side to lead them past the Txuri-urdin side.
On the other side of the pitch, Athletic won their first game under coach Marcelino García Toral against none other than the defending champion, Real Madrid. Los Leones claimed a 2-1 win over Zinedine Zidane's men to reach the final despite a late surge by the Spanish capital giants, and now the Basque side will want to win their first Super Cup since the 2015-16 season, when they defeated Barcelona with a 5-1 aggregate.
