There were days in the past when things went easy for Barcelona, but in recent years it has struggled to return to greatness.
Last night (Thursday) the Catalans managed to qualify for the final of the Spanish Super Cup after a penalty shootout victory over Betis.
After 120 minutes ended in a 2-2 draw, the teams' players approached Du Ker from the penalty spot, where Marc-Andre ter Stegen stopped two kicks for the Andalusians en route to a prestigious final against Real Madrid on Sunday (9pm).
Barca took the lead twice through goals from Robert Lewandowski and Anso Fati but couldn't hold on to their lead, much to Xavi's annoyance.
The Barca coach was recorded furious with his players during extra time.
"You all play standing up, no one moves. My God, it's a final, it's a title game, a fucking title game!" scolded the coach who hopes to win a first title this season against the arch rival.
🎙️ Xavi: "We deserve to be in the final."

Of course, the one who received the most compliments was Teresh Tegan.
"Mark deserves to receive the award for the best player of the game more than me. He is just crazy," said Pedri when Xavi also added: "We have a wonderful goalkeeper, one who knows how to make the difference in many games. This is our great luck."
The one who also got attention is Fati, who seems that after a bad period he is returning to his form from the days when he started playing for Barca's seniors.
"I feel very good. People talk about me too much, but the best is yet to come," declared the young star of the Spanish national team after the match.
