With a high ball from the left, Balde looks for Raphinha in the middle. However, Cruz stands well and clears the action.

The guests are now much more secure defensively. This means that FCB has problems combining.

For the first time, the game takes a little break. Both teams rarely find their way into the dangerous areas of the final third.

After more than a quarter of an hour, one thing is clear: we see a strong start from both teams, and Osasuna is also getting involved well. Naturally, the home team is dominant.

It remains a lively start – now Lewandowski has it great possibility! In a three-on-two switching situation, the ex-Bavarian is served on the left in the sixteen-yard box. The Pole wants to push the ball into the far corner from 14 meters, but Herrera quickly dives and parries.

…the corner is also something special. This comes high into the box and in the end Budimir is leveled from a few meters.

Now Osasuna! Koundé heads a cross from the left to Areso in the corner of the penalty area. His attempt from 14 meters sails deflected just past the far corner…

Almost 1-0! After weak build-up play from Herrera, Torres gets the ball into his feet 19 meters in the middle of the goal. His shot passes just past the left post.

The first two actions: First, as a result of a corner from the right from a 14-meter half-left position, Christensen fails with a direct pass to Herrera. In return, it moves quickly forward via the half-right. Koundé just manages to pass the pass into the center to Budimir.

The initial phase is as expected. Barca generates up to 90 percent ball possession. So of course the guests here are just running behind.

On the other side, underdog Osasuna naturally sees his chance. Los Rojillos also started January with two wins, beating bottom team UD Almeria (1-0) and in the Copa del Rey away to third division team CD Castellon (1-0 after extra time). Nevertheless, it is clear that in order to survive against Barcelona, an increase in performance is necessary. In the league it was almost enough to win a point on the third matchday: they only lost in front of their own crowd shortly before the end due to a Lewandowski penalty (1:2).

It was a bumpy start to the new year for the Blaugrana. They got away with a black eye both in the league against promoted team UD Las Palmas (2:1) and in the Copa del Rey against fourth division team UD Barbastro (3:2). Despite the victories, this confirms a trend from December: Barca are quite vulnerable and nowhere near as confident as they were for much of last season. From the last four competitive games in 2023, the Catalans only got one three-pointer and lost twice. Nevertheless: The finals should definitely happen today.
6:59 p.m
Hello and welcome to the Spanish Supercopa! In the second semi-final today, FC Barcelona will face CA Osasuna. Real Madrid’s final opponent will be looked for from 8:00 p.m.
