FC Barcelona booked their place in the Supercopa de Espana final with a 3-2 penalty shoot-out victory over Real Sociedad on Wednesday evening.
Blaugrana manager Ronald Koeman recalled Ronaldo Araujo and Clement Lenglet, who came in at the expense of Sergino Dest and Samuel Umtiti, however there was no place for Lionel Messi due to injury.
Sociedad had the first opportunity when Alexander Isak got on the end of a good cross but the Swede s effort sailed wide of the target.
After spells of frustration, it was Koeman s charges who broke the deadlock on 39 minutes as Antoine Griezmann was given time and space on left to pick out Frenkie De Jong who headed into the far corner.
