With Iniesta and Marquez being the only people out of squad Barcelona were clearly the better side against a Bilbao side that rested some players for their more realistic goal of the Europa League. However Barcelona had to wait till the second half to break the deadlock when Messi got the ball from Ibrahimovic and with a great lone effort dodged past the defender and chipped over the goalkeeper. 18 minutes later at the 68th minute Messi scores the second from a penalty when Dani Alves was fouled inside the penalty box by Ustariz. However the decision of penalty was dubious. Ustariz got a yellow card for showing dissent on the decision. The day was worse for Ustariz as his casual back pass to the goalkeeper at the 72nd minute was interepted by Bojan, who was just a minute old on the pitch, for the third goal for the Blaugranas.
It was the 12th Supercopa for the Catalan side and fourth title in 2009 after Copa Del Rey, La Liga and the Champions League.
