Lamine Yamal and Gavi Páez scored to lead Barcelona past Athletic Club 2-0 and into the Spanish Super Cup final on Wednesday.
The loss ended a 15-game unbeaten streak for Ernesto Valverde‘s team across all competitions.
Athletic could barely muster a threat until it was behind by two goals. Iñaki Williams thought he had scored in the final minutes but it was waived off after a video review ruled him offside.
Gavi got Barcelona going after he redirected in a short pass from Alejandro Balde after the left back had reached the endline in Athletic’s area.
Gavi then helped Yamal put the result away in the 52nd with a pass that the 17-year-old controlled while twirling toward the goal. Yamal sized up goalkeeper Unai Simón and slotted home to double the lead.
