January 13, 2023 Barcelona Beat Real Betis On Penalties To Set Up Spanish Super Cup Final With Real Madrid

Barcelona advanced to the Spanish Supercopa final in Riyadh on Sunday, where they will face Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid in an El Clasico final.

Barca gained the lead in the first half thanks to Robert Lewandowski. However, they were unable to complete the game when Nabil Fekir equalized for Betis with 15 minutes remaining in regular time.

That meant extra time was required, and Xavi’s team quickly put the misery of being held in 90 minutes behind them with a superb volley to make it 2-1. The ball dropped to the 20-year-old, and his execution was flawless as he shot past former Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Barca, as in normal time, couldn’t hold out and Betis scored a second equalizer thanks to Loren Moron’s stunning backheel. Betis forced penalties despite Andres Guardado’s dismissal for two yellow cards.

Both teams scored their first two goals, with Lewandowski and Franck Kessie for Barcelona and Willian Jose and Loren for Betis. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was the Blaugrana’s hero, save from Juanmi and William Carvalho, allowing Fati to make it 3-2 before Pedri scored the penalty to take Barca to the final.
