Barcelona set a date with its traditional rival, Real Madrid, in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, currently being held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, after defeating Osasuna with two clean goals – Thursday – in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Barcelona will meet Real Madrid in the final, which will be held next Sunday, as the latter qualified for the final match after its victory – Wednesday – over Atletico Madrid 5-3 after two additional periods.
The final match of the tournament will be held at All Park Stadium, which also hosted the two semi-final matches.
