Barcelona will have the chance to retain the Spanish Super Cup trophy when they face Clasico rivals Real Madrid in Sunday's final at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Catalan giants dispatched Osasuna via a 2-0 scoreline in Thursday's semi-final clash thanks to second-half goals from Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.
Xavi will be hoping that his team can offer a repeat of last year's final when they produced a dominant performance to claim a 3-1 victory over Carlo Ancelotti's side.
