Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Barcelona to score. At the same time, Athletic Club does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!

- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nico Serrano made 339 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Barcelona winning 100% of all matches.
- 30' Adama Traore is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Athletic Club so far.
- 35' FC Barcelona seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 37' The Gabon forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang breaks the deadlock on 37 minutes. 1-0!
- 42' The energy levels are beginning to show. Xavi Hernandez might look to freshen things up shortly.

- 67' The FC Barcelona bench stirs into life. Pablo Gavira is withdrawn and Frenkie de Jong gets his opportunity.
- 70' That is a Yellow card for FC Barcelona. Pique will be fuming at that decision.
- 73' Ousmane Dembele makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and FC Barcelona are in front.
