RECORD! The 6 youngest goalscorers in the history of the Supercopa de España are from Barcelona

FC Barcelona advanced this Wednesday to their third consecutive final of the Supercopa de España after defeating Athletic Club in Jeddah (0-2). The goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal allowed Hansi Flick's team to overcome the reigning Copa del Rey champion and also confirm their dominance in a significant statistic of the tournament, which has the azulgrana team as the top winner, with 14 titles.

With the goal scored by Lamine in the 52nd minute, Barça maintains its dominance in the ranking of the youngest goalscorers in the Supercopa. The six players leading this list are from Barcelona, with the one from Mataró holding the absolute record. The winger surpassed Gavi last season as the youngest to score in the tournament, at 16 years and 182 days in the azulgrana victory against Osasuna (2-0) on January 11, 2024.

Barça will seek to maintain its reign in the Supercopa de España

Against Athletic, Yamal also surpassed the '6' from Barcelona, as the goal against Athletic was scored at 17 years and 179 days. The midfielder, on the other hand, had reached the record on January 15, 2023 in the final against Real Madrid that Barça won 1-3, currently the last Supercopa won by the Catalan team. The other club players on the list are Xavi Hernández, Ansu Fati, and Bojan Krkic.

Next Sunday, Barça will face the 'merengues' or Mallorca in their twenty-eighth final, seeking to maintain their supremacy as the tournament's top winner. As of the 2023-24 season, Barcelona has 14 finals won and 13 lost. The 'White House', on the other hand, has won the trophy 13 times, with 6 runner-up finishes, while Mallorca only won the Supercopa in 1998, with a runner-up finish in 2003 (against Madrid).
