Es un jugador que me gusta mucho. Es muy caliente en el campo como y se queda ahí.

Me he encontrado muy bien. Cada vez mejor. He estado mucho tiempo fuera pero eso es pasado. Me voy encontrando cada vez mejor. Tuve una pequeña molestia al final, estaba bastante tieso pero nada grave. Para el domingo estoy perfecto.

Gavi, mediocentro del Barcelona
He tenido la suerte de meter el gol y la asistencia pero al final lo que importa es que estamos en la final y tenemos que ganarla. Una de las celebraciones la hice por Dani Olmo. Él sabe que es muy importante para nosotros y estará en la final.

Teníamos enfrente al Barça. Hemos intentado jugar de tú a tú, evitar la salida de su juego. En los dos inicios del partido nos ha faltado ajustarnos y nos ha costado el gol. En el segundo hemos busco meternos en el partido con el 0-2 y hemos metido dos, pero en fuera de juego. Ha sido un partido con mucho ritmo, han acabado muy cansados los dos equipos, correr y venir de vuelta. Este partido tenía la posibilidad de llegar a una final, pero tiene muchos recursos. Si estás atrás te buscan el juego exterior y si vas arriba van al espacio. Hemos mantenido el partido vivo. Hay que digerirlo y preparar el siguiente

Ernesto Valverde, entrenador del Athletic Club

¿Feliz?

Contento, era el objetivo. Estar en la final y ganarla es lo que queríamos. El Athletic te hace correr mucho; hemos sufrido en la primera parte.

¿Frustra mucho no poder jugar por lesión?

Claro, quieres ayudar siempre al equipo.

Ha sido una noche de alivio para Olmo y Pau Víctor. ¿Notaban su nerviosismo?

Al final, estamos contentos de que puedan jugar los dos. Es normal que, al final, uno esté nervioso cuando no puede jugar. Estamos contentos por ellos.

¿Prefieren a alguien en la final?

El que sea, será difícil. Queremos ganarla.

Lamine Yamal, jugador del Barcelona
Es una pena. Hemos hecho un gran esfuerzo. En el gol anulado no me había fijado que Álvaro la había dado. Pensé que era una mala cesión de Frenkie. La temporada no acaba aquí. Tenemos muchas cosas buenas por delante y hay que seguir.

Iñaki Williams, extremo del Athletic
FINAL: Athletic 0 - 2 Barcelona

Estas son las estadísticas que nos ha dejado la primera semifinal de Supercopa.

Sin cautela hacia la final. El Barça ya espera rival en la lucha por la Supercopa de España, y lo hace tras tumbar a un Athletic tremendamente gris. A los de Valverde, que achacaron la ausencia de Sancet y Nico Williams (disputó media hora), les faltó mucha mordiente en la presión y acierto en los metros finales. También erró el Barcelona, destacando a un Raphinha que las tuvo y las generó pero Unai Simón o la falta de tino le lastraron. A quien no lastró fue a Gavi, que aprovechó un pase de la muerte de Balde en el 17' para hacer el primero.

Nació ese gol de un robo en campo rival, al igual que el 0-2, con Íñigo Martínez saliendo de su zona y el goleador andaluz asistiendo a un Lamine Yamal que no tuvo piedad en el mano a mano ante Simón. Corría el minuto 52' en ese momento y acto seguido Lewandowski pudo apuntillar al león pero mandó fuera una de esas que nunca perdona dentro del área pequeña. El Athletic, con la entrada de Nico, mejoró ligeramente. Precisamente de sus botas nació una asistencia de ensueño para De Marcos, que marcó un gol de vaselina precioso pero en fuera de juego. También le anularon un tanto desde el VAR a Iñaki Williams en el 86' tras un mal pase de Frenkie que roza Djaló, inhabilitando así al mayor de los hermanos.

Alexander Isak scores at Arsenal

Image caption,

Alexander Isak has scored 15 goals for Newcastle this season


Michael Emons

BBC Sport journalist

Alexander Isak's rich goalscoring form continued as Newcastle United took control of their Carabao Cup semi-final with a superb first-leg win against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.


Newcastle have never won the competition but will make their second final in three seasons if they avoid defeat, or lose by a one-goal margin, in the second leg at St James' Park on 5 February.


Arsenal, second in the Premier League, started the tie as favourites, but have it all to do in the return fixture.


Isak scored his 14th goal in 15 games to set Newcastle on the way to their seventh successive win.


Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka's free-kick was launched forward, Sven Botman headed the ball on and Jacob Murphy played it into Isak's path with the Swede lifting a composed finish past David Raya.


Anthony Gordon doubled the visitors' lead in the 51st minute, converting the rebound after Raya could only parry Isak's shot.


Gabriel Martinelli had hit the post for the Gunners when the game was goalless, with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba also failing to score with close-range headers.


Tottenham host Liverpool in the first leg of the second semi-final on Wednesday (20:00 GMT), with the final at Wembley on 16 March.

Newcastle fans still dreaming after superb win

Newcastle have been English champions four times and won six FA Cups, but have not lifted silverware since the Fairs Cup in 1969.


However, their fans will be dreaming this is the year that long wait for a trophy ends.


Eddie Howe's side, beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final in 2023, know they still have a lot of work to do to get back to Wembley, but the first leg in London could not have gone any better.


Indeed, history is on their side as since 1987-88 all eight away teams to have a two-goal advantage after a semi-final first leg have reached the final.


Isak, a striker long linked with a move to Arsenal, showed the Gunners what they were missing with an excellent performance which got him a goal and an assist as he provided constant problems for Gabriel and Saliba.


Jacob Murphy and Gordon also played their part again in Newcastle's resurgence, but everyone contributed in handing Arsenal their first home loss of the season.


Dubravka made an excellent save to deny Gabriel, with Newcastle's defending typified by last-ditch blocks from Dan Burn and Botman as they battled to deal with Arsenal's constant threat from inswinging corners.


Since a 4-2 loss at Brentford a month ago, the Magpies have beaten Leicester, Brentford, Ipswich, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham and now the Gunners.


That run has lifted Newcastle to fifth in the Premier League, in contention for a return to Champions League football after playing in that tournament last season, though they have no European football this campaign.


They now have an FA Cup tie and four league matches before they must focus on the second leg.


Newcastle fans will already be looking forward to 5 February, which promises to be a raucous evening at St James' Park, with them hoping to finish the job off and return to Wembley.

Match Overview

Competition: EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) Semi-finals (First Leg)

Date: January 7, 2025

Venue: Emirates Stadium, London

Attendance: 59,125

Result: Arsenal 0–2 Newcastle United

Key Highlights

First Half (0-1):


Newcastle's Alexander Isak scored in the 37th minute.

The goal originated from a long free-kick by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, flicked on by Sven Botman.

Jacob Murphy provided the assist with a precise pass, allowing Isak to lift the ball calmly over Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya.

Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli struck the post earlier in the half, missing a crucial chance to take the lead.

Second Half (0-2):


Anthony Gordon extended Newcastle's lead in the 51st minute.

Gordon capitalized on a rebound after David Raya saved Isak’s initial shot.

Arsenal attempted a comeback, with close-range headers from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba, but failed to find the net.

Key Performers

Newcastle United:


Alexander Isak: Scored the opening goal and assisted Gordon’s rebound goal.

Martin Dubravka: Made key saves, particularly against Gabriel.

Dan Burn & Sven Botman: Exemplary defensive efforts with last-ditch blocks and crucial headers.

Jacob Murphy: Provided the assist for Isak's goal.

Arsenal:


Gabriel Martinelli: Arsenal’s biggest attacking threat but failed to convert chances.

Defensive errors and a lack of composure in front of goal marked Arsenal's struggles.

Historical Context

Newcastle has not won a trophy since the 1969 Fairs Cup.

They are chasing their first-ever EFL Cup victory.

This win gives Newcastle a strong position, with the second leg at St James’ Park on February 5, 2025.

Player Ratings (BBC Sport User Ratings)

Top Newcastle Player: Alexander Isak (8.90/10)

Lowest Arsenal Player: Oleksandr Zinchenko (3.31/10)

Arsenal’s Best: Gabriel Martinelli (4.36/10)

What’s Next?

Newcastle:


The team heads into the second leg at St. James’ Park with a two-goal advantage.

History favors them, as teams with a two-goal away lead in semi-finals have always reached the final since 1987-88.

Arsenal:


They must overturn a two-goal deficit in the second leg to keep their EFL Cup hopes alive.

A daunting task, given Newcastle’s current form (seven consecutive wins in all competitions).

Other Semi-final:

Tottenham Hotspur faces Liverpool in the first leg of the other semi-final on January 8, 2025, at 20:00 GMT.

Analysis

Newcastle’s disciplined defensive approach and clinical finishing were key.

Arsenal dominated possession and created chances but lacked the cutting edge.

Isak’s standout form continues to drive Newcastle’s resurgence under Eddie Howe.

Alexander Isak scores at Arsenal

Image caption,

Alexander Isak has scored 15 goals for Newcastle this season


Michael Emons

BBC Sport journalist

Alexander Isak's rich goalscoring form continued as Newcastle United took control of their Carabao Cup semi-final with a superb first-leg win against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.


Newcastle have never won the competition but will make their second final in three seasons if they avoid defeat, or lose by a one-goal margin, in the second leg at St James' Park on 5 February.


Arsenal, second in the Premier League, started the tie as favourites, but have it all to do in the return fixture.


Isak scored his 14th goal in 15 games to set Newcastle on the way to their seventh successive win.


Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka's free-kick was launched forward, Sven Botman headed the ball on and Jacob Murphy played it into Isak's path with the Swede lifting a composed finish past David Raya.


Anthony Gordon doubled the visitors' lead in the 51st minute, converting the rebound after Raya could only parry Isak's shot.


Gabriel Martinelli had hit the post for the Gunners when the game was goalless, with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba also failing to score with close-range headers.


Tottenham host Liverpool in the first leg of the second semi-final on Wednesday (20:00 GMT), with the final at Wembley on 16 March.

Newcastle fans still dreaming after superb win

Newcastle have been English champions four times and won six FA Cups, but have not lifted silverware since the Fairs Cup in 1969.


However, their fans will be dreaming this is the year that long wait for a trophy ends.


Eddie Howe's side, beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final in 2023, know they still have a lot of work to do to get back to Wembley, but the first leg in London could not have gone any better.


Indeed, history is on their side as since 1987-88 all eight away teams to have a two-goal advantage after a semi-final first leg have reached the final.


Isak, a striker long linked with a move to Arsenal, showed the Gunners what they were missing with an excellent performance which got him a goal and an assist as he provided constant problems for Gabriel and Saliba.


Jacob Murphy and Gordon also played their part again in Newcastle's resurgence, but everyone contributed in handing Arsenal their first home loss of the season.


Dubravka made an excellent save to deny Gabriel, with Newcastle's defending typified by last-ditch blocks from Dan Burn and Botman as they battled to deal with Arsenal's constant threat from inswinging corners.


Since a 4-2 loss at Brentford a month ago, the Magpies have beaten Leicester, Brentford, Ipswich, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham and now the Gunners.


That run has lifted Newcastle to fifth in the Premier League, in contention for a return to Champions League football after playing in that tournament last season, though they have no European football this campaign.


They now have an FA Cup tie and four league matches before they must focus on the second leg.


Newcastle fans will already be looking forward to 5 February, which promises to be a raucous evening at St James' Park, with them hoping to finish the job off and return to Wembley.

Venue: Emirates Stadium, London

Attendance: 59,125

Result: Arsenal 0–2 Newcastle United

Key Highlights

First Half (0-1):


Newcastle's Alexander Isak scored in the 37th minute.

The goal originated from a long free-kick by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, flicked on by Sven Botman.

Jacob Murphy provided the assist with a precise pass, allowing Isak to lift the ball calmly over Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya.

Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli struck the post earlier in the half, missing a crucial chance to take the lead.

Second Half (0-2):


Anthony Gordon extended Newcastle's lead in the 51st minute.

Martin Dubravka: Made key saves, particularly against Gabriel.

Dan Burn & Sven Botman: Exemplary defensive efforts with last-ditch blocks and crucial headers.

Jacob Murphy: Provided the assist for Isak's goal.

Arsenal:


Gabriel Martinelli: Arsenal’s biggest attacking threat but failed to convert chances.

Defensive errors and a lack of composure in front of goal marked Arsenal's struggles.

Historical Context

Newcastle has not won a trophy since the 1969 Fairs Cup.

They are chasing their first-ever EFL Cup victory.

Arsenal:


They must overturn a two-goal deficit in the second leg to keep their EFL Cup hopes alive.

A daunting task, given Newcastle’s current form (seven consecutive wins in all competitions).

Other Semi-final:

Tottenham Hotspur faces Liverpool in the first leg of the other semi-final on January 8, 2025, at 20:00 GMT.

Analysis

Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, 21-year-old Piyush Kumar improved his Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) rank from 530 in 2023 to AIR 1 this year. His potion to success, he claims, was ensuring that all his concepts are clear.


Kumar is a final year student of BTech CSE from Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, Uttarakhand. He had been preparing for GATE for the past 15-16 months. When he appeared for GATE 2023, he hadn’t put in as much effort in preparation, so he decided to change his approach towards the exam this year.


“I sat and looked back at what were the mistakes that I was making last year. I identified my weaknesses and worked harder in those areas. When I practised mock tests, I ensured that I did not miss out on those chapters which seemed difficult to me last year,” he told indianexpress.com.

French Champions Trophy: PSG vs Monaco to be played in Doha

This season, it was supposed to be staged in Beijing on August 8 to mark the 60th anniversary of France and China establishing diplomatic relations.

Paris Saint-Germain could lift its first silverware of the season when it plays AS Monaco in the French Champions Trophy in Doha on Sunday, with the staging of the fixture in Qatar underlining the Gulf state’s influence over football in France.

The game is the traditional curtain-raiser to the French campaign. While Spain and Italy have expanded their Super Cup into four-team competitions and taken them to Saudi Arabia, France has regularly staged the Champions Trophy overseas in recent years, since the 2009 edition was held in Montreal, Canada.

Ivory Coast was also a potential destination and there would almost certainly have been a large and passionate crowd had the game been staged in the football-mad, French-speaking country in West Africa.


But Qatar stepped in with an offer that persuaded the French league (LFP) -- struggling financially after being forced to accept a much-reduced offer last year for its domestic television rights -- to go to the Gulf.


“Several offers were made, and the Doha solution was the best solution for the date, both for the LFP and for the two participating teams,” the French league told AFP.



And so the match -- sponsored by the Qatar tourism authority -- will go ahead at the Stadium 974 in Doha, one of the venues used at the 2022 World Cup.


Like a home game

Qatar’s influence in French football dates back to the acquisition of PSG by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011.


PSG was an ailing giant at the time, but under QSI and Qatari president Nasser al-Khelaifi, it has been turned into the dominant force in the French game, its financial might crushing all rivals.


The club is on course to win an 11th Ligue 1 title in the last 13 seasons, while victory on Sunday would see them claim the Champions Trophy for the 11th time in 12 years.


Khelaifi is also on the board of directors of the LFP, as well as being chairman of beIN Media Group, which is one of the domestic broadcasters of Ligue 1 in France.


The match usually pits the champions against the French Cup winners, but PSG won both trophies last season and so Ligue 1 runners-up Monaco were chosen as their challengers.


PSG won 4-2 in Monaco in Ligue 1 just before the recent mid-season break and will be favourites to come out on top again, especially given the surroundings.


“This is like a home game for us,” admitted PSG coach Luis Enrique during a press conference held during the team’s flight to Doha aboard a Qatar Airways jet.


The club has even taken steps to persuade fans to make the trip to attend the game, despite the six-hour flight separating Paris from Doha.


A package comprising a return flight, hotel accommodation and a match ticket was offered for 100 euros ($103) for several hundred fans.


However, the club’s ultras -- the most fervent supporters -- turned down the offer for a game in which opponents Monaco will be aiming to lift a first trophy si


When will PSG vs AS Monaco French Champions Trophy match kick-off?

The French Champions Trophy match between PSG and AS Monaco will kick-off at 10:00 PM IST on Sunday, January 5.
