The Blaugrana will be seeking to retain their Spanish Super Cup title as they face Osasuna in the semi-finals on Thursday, January 11th.

It has been a good start to 2024 so far for Barcelona, who come into their upcoming Spanish Super Cup tie having won their last two matches. Xavi's men have been under pressure all season to turn things around after a rather inconsistent start to the 2023/24 season, and now, the Blaugrana will look to take one step closer towards retaining their Spanish Super Cup title as they prepare to face minnows Osasuna in the semi-finals of this competition.

Barcelona, with 14 titles, are the most decorated team in this competition. Fans looking forward to yet another installment of the famous El Clasico could be getting their wish this weekend, as Real Madrid have already booked their spot in the final after edging out Atletico Madrid. On paper, it appears that a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid tie will be on the cards, especially as the Blaugrana are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with their upcoming opponents.

Meanwhile, Osasuna will need to overcome a long-standing hoodoo if they want to make it to what would be their first ever appearance in a Spanish Super Cup final. Los Rojillos currently sit in the bottom half of the table, but perhaps encouragingly is their solid defensive record that has seen them keep clean sheets in three of their last four matches.

Will fans get another El Clasico this weekend as many are hoping for? Or will Osasuna upset the proverbial apple cart and get the opportunity to have revenge on Real Madrid for beating them 2-1 in last season's Copa del Rey final?
