Barcelona secured a 2-1 win over Athletic Bilbao, continuing their strong start to the La Liga season. After opening with a victory over Valencia, the Catalan giants aimed for another triumph, especially after rivals Real Madrid dropped points.
Lamine Yamal opened the scoring for Barcelona, finding the net with a deflected shot off Yeray. Robert Lewandowski came close to extending the lead, hitting the bar before Athletic Bilbao appealed for a penalty when Pau Cubarsi fouled Alejandro Berenguer. A VAR review granted the spot-kick, which Oihan Sancet converted to equalize for Bilbao.
Lewandowski continued to press, hitting the post in the second half before finally scoring in the 74th minute. Alex Padilla’s parry of Pedri’s cross landed perfectly for Lewandowski, who made no mistake, securing the win for Barcelona.
With two victories from two games under manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona kept their momentum and widened the gap between themselves and Real Madrid early in the season.
