Barcelona aim to defend their Spanish Super Cup title this week in Saudi Arabia and the first step towards achieving that comes in the form of a dangerous Athletic Club, who they’ll face in the semifinal on Wednesday night.

Hansi Flick’s side have left behind their early season problems and are undefeated domestically since late October. Barcelona have built a four-point gap atop La Liga after their win vs. Espanyol last time out, and they’re looking to lift their first trophy of the season this week in their quest to conquer yet another domestic treble under the German boss.

Athletic Club will be eager to pull of the upset and get revenge for the 4–0 pummeling they suffered when they faced Barcelona in Camp Nou’s reopening back in November. Ernesto Valverde’s side have had an underwhelming term, but they remain a dangerous side with players capable of tormenting any opponent.

With a mostly healthy squad, though, Barcelona are starting to fire on all cylinders. Lifting a piece of silverware in January could further boost the confidence of a side that’s already expected to fight for every trophy available in the next six months.

Here’s how you can watch Barcelona vs. Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal.
