FC Barcelona celebrated a triumphant return to the newly renovated Spotify Camp Nou with a dominant 4-0 victory over Athletic Club. Hansi Flick's side produced a masterclass performance to temporarily climb to the top of the La Liga table.
The hosts wasted no time, with Robert Lewandowski opening the scoring just four minutes in with a sharp finish. Barcelona continued to control the game, doubling their lead right before halftime through Ferran Torres, who finished a spectacular "trivela" assist from Lamine Yamal.
The momentum continued into the second half as Fermín López added a third goal shortly after the break. Athletic Club’s struggles worsened when Oihan Sancet was shown a straight red card for a bad foul on Fermín, leaving the visitors with ten men. Ferran Torres sealed the rout with his second goal of the night in the 89th minute, capping off a perfect homecoming for the Blaugrana.
