Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona: Final Score 0-3 – Barça End Season in Style.

Barcelona wrapped up their 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a convincing 3-0 away win over Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés. After a shaky opening 10 minutes, the visitors took control of the match, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice in the first half to give Barça a solid lead. Dani Olmo added a late penalty to seal the result.

   First Half Highlights:

Athletic Bilbao started strongly, testing Barça’s high defensive line and even found the net early through Unai Gómez, though it was ruled offside. Barça gradually found rhythm, and in the 14th minute, Fermín López set up Lewandowski for a composed finish over Unai Simón. Just four minutes later, a corner deflected to Lewandowski at the far post, and he headed home his second of the night.

Despite some promising moments from the hosts, Barcelona’s defense held firm, notably thanks to a key intervention from Pau Cubarsí to deny a clear chance.

   Second Half Action:

Barcelona missed several chances to extend their lead early in the second half. Lewandowski missed an opportunity for a hat-trick, and Lamine Yamal also failed to capitalize on a clear shot. Athletic had limited attacking success, their best moment being an accidental near-own-goal that required a save from Iñaki Peña.

The final minutes saw a special farewell for Athletic’s long-time captain Óscar De Marcos, who was subbed off to a standing ovation. In stoppage time, Dani Olmo was fouled in the box, and after a VAR review, calmly converted the penalty to close out the match.

  Final Thoughts:

Barcelona capped off a brilliant season — one in which they secured a domestic treble — with a commanding win. Lewandowski’s brace and Olmo’s late goal highlighted a performance that reflected their dominance throughout the campaign.
