Holders Barcelona thrashed Athletic Club to reach the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 15-time winners scored four goals in 16 minutes to put the game beyond doubt at half-time.<\/p>\n

That made Barcelona the first team in history to score four first-half goals in a Spanish Super Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n

Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 22nd minute by finishing from close range, before Fermin Lopez hammered a shot into the top corner.<\/p>\n

Roony Bardghji’s fierce strike squirmed under the hands of Athletic Club goalkeeper Unai Simon and Raphinha fired a shot into the roof of the net to give Barcelona an unassailable lead after 38 minutes.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Raphinha claimed his second goal to make it 5-0 four minutes after the restart with Simon helpless.<\/p>\n

Barcelona comfortably remained in control to make it nine consecutive victories in all competitions and Hansi Flick’s side will face either Atletico Madrid or 13-time winners Real Madrid, who meet on Thursday (19:00 GMT).<\/p>\n

The final will take place on Sunday in Jeddah after Saudi Arabia and the Spanish Football Federation extended a deal to play the tournament in the country until 2029.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
