Barcelona Wins Supercopa Berth Through Penalty Shootout vs Real Betis, Setting Up El Clasico Final
Barcelona may not have made a brilliant showing, but it was enough to secure a spot in the Supercopa de Espana final against Real Madrid. Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati netted the goals, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen was a brick wall in goal to seal the win for the Blaugrana.
Real Betis put forth a strong effort to keep pace in the match after a sluggish start. Nabil Fekir netted the equalising goal in the 77th minute, sending the game into extra-time. Not long after, Loren Moron found the back of the net to ensure Betis were even again.
The match dragged on to a penalty shootout, with both teams exhausted. But Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who had been excellent throughout the game to keep Betis from claiming the lead, made two brilliant penalty stops to secure Barcelona's victory.
The German goalkeeper was invaluable throughout the match as Barcelona made numerous blunders at the back. He was alert in the first half, and essential in key moments of the second. His key contributions, though, came during the penalty shootout, thwarting both Juanmi and Moron's attempts to score.
Barcelona will be playing in the Super Cup final, facing their fierce rivals Real Madrid, after emerging victorious from a penalty shootout against Sevilla. The match was tied after 90 minutes of regulation. Madrid had also advanced from a shootout against Valencia.
