Goalkeeper & Defence

Joan Garcia (7/10):

Denied Athletic early on with a routine stop. Rescued by the woodwork on the stroke of half-time having been beaten by Sancet. Easily dealt with a Jauregizar hit from range as Athletic sought a consolation.

Jules Kounde (7/10):

Linked up well with Bardghji down the right flank.

Pau Cubarsi (7/10):

Was outmuscled by Inaki Williams early on, with the Athletic forward incorrectly called offside. Settled well afterwards, however.

Eric Garcia (6/10):

Almost gifted Athletic a chance following a weak pass back to Joan Garcia in the second half.

Alejandro Balde (7/10):

Hardly put a foot wrong before he came off in the 65th minute.

Midfield

Pedri (7/10):

Tested Simon in the 15th minute with an effort straight at his compatriot. Dictated the tempo with ease before coming off.

Frenkie de Jong (6/10):

Kept play ticking over well for Flick's side in the middle of the park up to his second half withdrawal.

Attack

Roony Bardghji (9/10):

Deputised for Yamal on the right. Picked out Pedri well in the 15th minute for Barcelona's first shot on target and scored Barca's third in a rampant first half. Withdrawn with two assists to go with his goal.

Fermin Lopez (9/10):

Should have opened the scoring in the 20th minute, but his effort was easily dealt with by Simon. Made no mistake on the half-hour mark to double Barcelona's advantage.

Raphinha (9/10):

Bagged Barcelona's sumptuous fourth as they tore Athletic to shreds in the opening 45. Added his second and Barca's fifth early in the second half in a superb showing.

Ferran Torres (7/10):

Found the breakthrough midway through the first half as he bundled an effort past Simon.

Subs & Manager

Gerard Martin (5/10):

Replaced Balde midway through the second half. Played Gomez on with 15 minutes to play, though the Athletic forward somehow failed to hit the target.

Marc Bernal (6/10):

Came on for De Jong in the 64th minute. Did little of note during his cameo.

Marcus Rashford (6/10):

Had a shot deflected behind for a corner shortly after replacing Raphinha.

Lamine Yamal (7/10):

Introduced to a huge reception with 20 minutes to go. Tried his best to dazzle supporters.

Dani Olmo (6/10):

A routine outing from the Spaniard.

Hansi Flick (9/10):

Left Yamal on the bench, but it made no difference as Barca eased to the Supercopa de Espana final.
