Xavi’s team, Barcelona, secured a spot in the Supercopa final against Real Madrid after defeating Osasuna 2-0, with Robert Lewandowski scoring a goal.

Jadon Sancho has returned to Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United on loan, believing it was the right decision for his career. He struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford and hopes to regain his form and confidence with his former club.

Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over Osasuna in the Spanish Supercopa semi-finals, setting up an exciting final against arch-rivals Real Madrid. They dominated possession throughout the match, with Robert Lewandowski coming close to scoring. However, it wasn’t until the second half that Lewandowski found the back of the net, assisted by Ilkay Gundogan. Lamine Yamal sealed the victory with a late goal.

Despite their victory, Barcelona’s performance against Osasuna raised concerns about their form. They struggled to break down a defensive Osasuna side and only managed to score their second goal when their opponents were chasing the game. Real Madrid will provide a much tougher challenge in the final, and Barcelona will need to improve their efficiency in front of goal.

Robert Lewandowski was the standout player for Barcelona in their victory over Osasuna. Although he missed an early chance, the veteran forward made the difference with his goal, assisted by Ilkay Gundogan. Without Lewandowski’s contribution, Barcelona would have struggled to secure the win.
