Athletic Bilbao is returning to the Basque Country after losing the Super Cup Spain final in Saudi Arabia and will face another great Spanish football player, Barcelona, ​​today. Athletic Bilbao is a unique team in the world because only Basque-born players can play for this team. Although they lost the final against Real Madrid 2-0 a few days ago in Riyadh, the players and the professional staff are returning satisfied because in two games against Atletico and Real Madrid they showed that they can handle the strongest teams in the league. Athletic beat Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals 2-1 even though they lost 1-0 in 62nd minutes and showed that they are a team that never gives up. They lost 2-0 in the final but they played very well again and even missed a penalty. Real Madrid won on the individual quality and experience of its players, but who knows what would have happened if Real Madrid had not been awarded a penalty after an unfortunate play by Athletic defender Yeray. Now Bilbao is returning home to welcome Barca, which will play with almost all the players after a long time.

New reinforcement Ferran Torres should be in attack while Pique, Araujo and Alba will play in defence. Barcelona lost against Real Madrid in the semi-finals after extra time, but they played a very good game and we can already see the progress in the game of Barcelona under Xavi. The new coach refreshed the team with several players from the youth team, and I think Barcelona is now in the period of "generational change". Pedri is returning to the field so it's another big plus but he hasn't played many games this season either so he will need time to get back into shape from last year. Barcelona is expecting a very difficult match against a team that has been playing fantastically lately, but I would prefer Barcelona due to the larger number of days off. Bilbao played two physically very demanding matches within a few days, they travelled to Saudi Arabia and back so I think Barcelona will be much fresher for this duel. This is a very important game for Barca and their only chance to win a trophy this season so I expect a very motivated team today.

My prediction;

Outcome: Barcelona to win

Goals: under 2.5

在输掉了在沙特阿拉伯举行的西班牙超级杯决赛后，毕尔巴鄂竞技将回到巴斯克地区，今天将面对另一位伟大的西班牙足球运动员巴塞罗那。毕尔巴鄂竞技队是世界上独一无二的球队，因为只有巴斯克出生的球员才能为这支球队效力。虽然他们几天前在利雅得以0 - 2输给了皇家马德里，但球员和专业工作人员都很满意地回来了，因为在与马竞和皇家马德里的两场比赛中，他们证明了他们可以对付联赛中最强的球队。在半决赛中，马德里竞技队在62分钟内以1比0负于对手，但仍以2比1战胜对手，展现了永不放弃的实力。他们在决赛中以0 - 2输掉了比赛，但他们又踢得很好，甚至还罚失了一个点球。皇家马德里队凭借其球员的个人素质和经验获胜，但谁知道如果皇家马德里队没有因为其后卫耶雷的不幸表现而被判点球的话，会发生什么呢?现在，毕尔巴鄂将回到家乡欢迎巴萨，他们将在很长一段时间后和几乎所有的球员一起踢球。

新的增援费兰托雷斯将会在进攻位置，而皮克，阿劳霍和阿尔巴将会在防守位置。在半决赛中，巴塞罗那在加时赛后输给了皇马，但他们踢得非常好，我们已经可以看到哈维领导下的巴塞罗那的进步。新教练用几名来自青年队的球员重振了球队，我认为巴塞罗那现在正处于“代际变化”时期。佩德里正在重返赛场，这是另一个优势，但他本赛季也没有参加很多比赛，所以他需要时间来恢复去年的状态。巴萨期待着一场非常艰难的比赛，对手是一支最近表现出色的球队，但我更喜欢巴萨，因为他们有更多的休息时间。几天之内，毕尔巴鄂踢了两场对身体要求很高的比赛，他们去了沙特阿拉伯，然后又回来了，所以我认为巴塞罗那在这场决斗中会更有活力。这对巴萨来说是一场非常重要的比赛，也是他们本赛季赢得奖杯的唯一机会，所以我希望今天能有一支充满动力的球队。
