Supercopa de Catalunya
The Supercopa de Catalunya (Catalonia Supercup) is a football supercup competition organised by the Catalan Football Federation since 2014 for football clubs in the Catalonia autonomous community of Spain.[1] The match features the two best ranked Catalan clubs from La Liga.[2] Matches
2014The 2014 match was the first ever Supercopa de Catalunya, after the CFC (Catalan Football Federation) changed the format for the Copa Catalunya. Second and third division clubs (as well as the winner of the Catalan First Division) were able to participate in the old tournament, while Barcelona and Espanyol played this one-off match for the Super Cup.[9] Gerard Piqué opened the scoring for Barcelona after heading in Luis Suárez's cross in the 15th minute. Despite dominating the game from start to finish, Barcelona were not able to add to Piqué's goal and Espanyol eventually equalised through a perfectly taken free kick from Anaitz Arbilla. The game then went to a penalty shootout, which Barcelona won 4-2: Xavi Hernández, Alen Halilović, Álex Grimaldo and Ivan Rakitić all scored, while Jordi Masip saved Arbilla's penalty and Abraham González missed for Espanyol.[10][11] 2016
2018The match between Barcelona and Espanyol ended goalless after 90 minutes and went to a penalty shootout. Álex López and Mario Hermoso both scored for Espanyol but Sergi Darder and José Manuel Jurado missed,[12] while all of Barcelona's takers (Paco Alcácer, Sergi Palencia, Yerry Mina, and Abel Ruiz) scored and the shootout ended with a 4-2 win for Barcelona.[8] Marcus McGuane became the first English player to represent Barcelona since Gary Lineker 29 years earlier, after coming on for Aleix Vidal in the 77th minute.[13][14] 2019
