Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona The spot-kick is given, and Dani Olmo will take it himself. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Dami Olmo goes down in the box under a challenge from Yuri Berchiche. The referee doesn't give the penalty but VAR recommends he checks the monitor. It does look like the Barca forward is tripped. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Now all the Athletic fans are on their feet to applaud Oscar de Marcos as his 570th and final appearance for the club comes to an end. He hands the captain's armband to Inaki Williams before leaving the field for a final time. It looks as though there are tears in his eyes as he high fives substitute Inigo Lekue before being hugged by Barca coach Hansi Flick. De Marcos then embraces everyone in the Athletic dugout in turn as the game continues. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona It's a decent run by Athletic left-back Yuri Berchiche to get into the Barca box before seeing his low cross blocked for a corner. It's cleared as far as midfielder Mikel Jauregizar on the edge of the box but is right-footed effort lacks power to test Inaki Pena and it's a straightforward save. Remarkably, that's the home side's first shot on target. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Now there's another two changes from Barcelona, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong coming on for Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Is this the last roll of the dice from Athletic? Coach Ernesto Valverde brings on Inaki Williams for his younger brother Nico. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Lamine Yamal tests Unai Simon at his near post but the angle's too tight and the Athletic keeper makes a comfortable save. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Oh, so close for Athletic as they hit the crossbar. Alex Berenguer's free-kick from the right wing is flicked on by Aitor Paredes and goes goalwards off Barca defender Pau Cubarsi from point-blank range. Visiting keeper Inaki Pena does superbly to throw up his right hand and push the ball on to the bar to keep Barca 2-0 up. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Athletic Bilbao hoped to play in the Europa League final in their own stadium on Thursday. It wasn't to be as their hopes were dashed in the semi-finals by Manchester United. It has still been a great season by the Basque side, though, as they have secured a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2014-15 season. I think it's safe to say there are going to be some cracking European nights under the San Mames lights next season. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Dani Olmo lets a cutback run through to Lamine Yamal, who takes a touch before firing over with his left foot from the edge of the box. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Now the champions make two changes, with Dani Olmo coming on for fellow forward Raphinha and Andreas Christensen replacing Barca captain Ronald Araujo in defence. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona It's a triple change from the hosts as they bring on Dani Vivian, Oihan Sancet and Benat Prados for Unai Nunez, Unai Gomez and Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Oh, gotta say, I think Athletic are fortunate to still have 11 men on the field. Robert Lewandowski latches onto a through-ball then nudges the ball past Yuri Berchiche. The Athletic defender sticks out a leg and he's lucky than Lewandowski is so determined to stay on his feet as he could quite easily have gone down under that challenge. The Barca striker is hat-trick hunting and gets the ball back under control in the box but, to be fair to Berchiche, he does well to recover and make a last-ditch tackle to deflect Lewandowski's shot over the bar. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Barcelona cut out a low cross from the right but don't get it clear and Nico Williams drags a right-footed strike across goal and wide of the far post. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Yeah, Athletic need to be more clinical. But they also need to make sure they don't give it away right outside their own box, as Lamine Yamal cuts out a poor pass out from the back. Lucky for the hosts he didn't catch it right and dragged a tame left-footed strike about a yard wide from the edge of the box. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Athletic had only 25. 6% possession in the first half yet still caused the champions problems. Hopefully now they've got their shooting boots on. They had four efforts on goal but none of them tested Barca keeper Inaki Pena. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Athletic Bilbao put Maroan Sannadi through on goal and he attempts to chip Inaki Pena, but the Barca keeper manages to waft a hand at it to make the save. Turns out Sannadi was offside anyway. Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Barcelona Blimey, Robert Lewandowski is human after all. Raphinha plays a superb low ball from the left wing to split the Athletic defence and put it on a plate for the Poland striker, yet somehow he turns it wide from about six yards. Terrible, get him off! ! Robert Lewandowski scored 40 goals in 51 appearances during the 2024-25 season Robert Lewandowski scored twice as La Liga champions Barcelona wrapped up their domestic treble-winning season with a comfortable victory at Athletic Club. Having sealed their 28th league title with two games to spare, Hansi Flick's men scored their 100th goal of the league campaign with the 14th-minute opener. Lewandowski expertly chipped home goalkeeper Unai Simon, before he doubled the lead only three minutes later, arriving at the back post to head home following Raphinha's inswinging corner. The goals were his 27th in the league, and 40th overall, this season. Substitute Dani Olmo sealed the victory from the penalty spot in the fourth minute of added time as Barca finished the campaign with 88 points from 28 wins and four draws. They finished four clear of Real Madrid as German Flick won the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup titles during his first season in charge of Barca. Despite his side's first-half dominance, Athletic Club had two good chances to reduce the deficit before the break - both falling to Maroan Sannadi, who should have done better. The 24-year-old striker failed to hit the target from six yards out after getting on the end of Unai Nunez's cross. Sannadi then poked wide with only visiting goalkeeper Inaki Pena to beat after being played through on goal by his captain Oscar de Marcos, who was making his 570th and final appearance for the Bilbao outfit. Lewandowski, who has only Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe (31) ahead of him in the La Liga scoring charts this season, passed up chances to complete his hat-trick early in the second half. Athletic Club went close again when Barca centre-back Pau Cubarsi's defensive header from Alex Berenguer's free-kick rattled the crossbar. De Marcos received a standing ovation from the San Mames crowd as he was substituted in the 89th minute, passing the captain's armband to future captain Inaki Williams. But it was Barca who had the last word as Olmo scored from the spot in the stoppage time after he was brought down in the box by Yuri Berchiche. The hosts, who had secured their Champions League qualification before the final day, finished fourth, level on 70 points with fifth-placed Villarreal.
