Athletic Bilbao Stats & Current Form

Athletic Bilbao also went into the game in the second semi-final against champions Atletico Madrid as outsiders in the said Supercup in Saudi Arabia – in the end there was a surprising victory. They were even 0:1 behind, but turned the game around in the final minutes.

However, they were unable to defend their Supercopa title, and Real Madrid triumphed 2-0 in the final. But just being in the final again and beating Atletico Madrid shows that you should never underestimate Bilbao in knockout games in cups. Athletic Bilbao have reached the finals of the last four cup competitions!

Two seasons in a row, 2019/20 and 2020/21, Bilbao's Athletic Club reached the Copa del Rey final - but lost both finals against Real Sociedad (0-1) and Barcelona (0-4) in the Spanish Supercup you were also twice in a row in the final.

Athletic Bilbao is a typical cup team

While Bilbao have always bobbed around in midfield in La Lig, currently ninth – they regularly appear particularly motivated in cup games. Bilbao are a typical cup team, so they can do anything against Barcelona. Anyone who believes that they will win the game will find odds of 3.37 on average for Athletic Bilbao.

Their memories of a home cup game against Barcelona are not the worst: as mentioned, they lost the cup final in the final stadium La Cartuja in Seville 0:4, but Bilbao won against the Catalans in the last cup duel in San Mames Quarter-finals in February 2020 1-0 out of the competition.

Barcelona – Stats & Current Form

The Supercopa in Saudi Arabia also ended in disappointment for FC Barcelona,in the semi-finals. Here Barça failed in a dramatic and exciting Clasico at archrival Real Madrid after extra time.

In the end, the result wasn't right, but the performance was - afterward, coach Xavi Hernandez was "proud" of his team's performance, which made 2 goals during regular time and thus forced extra time.

Barça now wants to take the momentum of the good performance into the cup and show it again here - in the end, of course, with a better outcome.
