The Catalan giants will play their second LaLiga game of the season.
Barcelona return to the Spotify Camp Nou tonight, hoping to make it two victories in a row. Athletic Bilbao visit for a LaLiga Matchday Two encounter that sets the defending champions against a club in need of a reaction.
Edin Terzic’s side were defeated 3-1 at home by Sevilla in their first game. They must now face the most daunting opponent at this point – Barcelona. They have not defeated Barca at Camp Nou in 15 LaLiga encounters.
Meanwhile, Hansi Flick’s team wasted no time in stating their intentions for the new season. They defeated Elche 5-0 away from home on the first day. A display that demonstrated why they are the championship favourites.
New addition Karim Adeyemi was one of those who had an immediate impact. Raphinha started the scoring before Adeyemi doubled the advantage; Raphinha added a third, and Fermin Lopez completed the rout with two goals.
Barcelona have a great home record against Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga, being unbeaten in 15 consecutive top-flight matches at Camp Nou against the Basques. A number that will weigh heavily on Terzic’s men from the start today.
The most recent match was in March 2026. Barcelona prevailed 1-0 at San Mamés. All after a 5-0 Super Cup success in January 2026 and a 4-0 LaLiga home victory in November 2025.
