Our man in Spain Rik Sharma has collected the best talking points from Barca’s win.
Here they are...
Very respectful scenes.
Loads of confetti as well!
Great scenes.
Although they are quick to move on.
Now it is time for Barca to get medals and a mini trophy.
It is like primary school sports day.
There is Barcelona’s first piece of silverware of the season.
They might have lost the Spain Super Cup to Real Madrid but they are on for a quarter.
La Liga is almost claimed, the Copa del Rey is a likely triumph while the Champions League is still a massive hope.
Top work from Ernesto Valverde!
Sergi Darder miss 1-0
Palencia blasts in 2-0

BARCELONA WIN THE SUPERCOPA DE CATALUNYA!!!!
Espanyol now have to score this to stay in it...
And dances in celebration.
Unstoppable!
Palencia thumps in off the bar.
Darder blasts over the top!
He scores!
Who will be taking the spot kicks here?
We will soon find out...
Desperation stuff from both sides to get the ball forward.
Nothing accurate enough.
He connects with it well but it was never going to trouble Lopez.
Might have been better to lift that into the box.
This has been a good game but we have lacked a goal.
Barca have a free kick 35-yards out...can they make something of it?
Both sides seem to be resigned to that.
Valverde struggles with his hood, in an Arsene Wenger and his zip sort of way.
He eventually gets it perfect.
Really good header from Alacer from a decent delivery.
Top hands from Lopez to deny the goal as well.
McGuane wins out miles out from goal.
But it is no good and Lopez collects.
Can someone win this in normal time?
Barca haven’t seen much of the ball in the second half but are on the front foot now.
He is the first Englishman to play for Barca since Gary Lineker.
McGuane came through the academy at Arsenal.
ON: McGuane, Abel Ruiz, Miranda
OFF: Digne, Alena, Vidal
It is a stinger for P Lopez but he grabs on.
Barca still a threat.
This time he flings himself to his right to block out Lopez.
Probably his best save of the match.
On the break Puado and Perez come together.
In fact that could be a penalty.
Hmmm not given. No complaints either, but there was contact and shirt pulling.
I take it back Piatti!
You actually got into some really good positions are were very nearly very good.
Your replacement Puado has just passed the ball to Cillessen with the kicking power of a kitten.
Vidal is pulled up for a nothing foul.
Espanyol attack but a through ball was too hard.
If it stays like this we’ll be going straight to penalties.
ON: Cuenca, Perez, Hongla.
Espanyol have swapped the hapless Piatti for Puado.
