Barcelona Rout Athletic 4–0 on Camp Nou Return, Go Level at the Top of LaLiga

The partial reopening featured pre-match rituals before a crowd of just over 45,000 with major works still ongoing.

Overview

  • Robert Lewandowski scored early to record the first competitive goal at the Spotify Camp Nou since Gavi’s strike in May 2023.
  • Ferran Torres netted a brace, including a stoppage-time finish, with teenager Lamine Yamal supplying two assists.
  • Fermín López capped a standout display with a second-half goal before drawing the foul that led to Oihan Sancet’s red card.
  • Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simón committed errors on multiple goals as Barça kept their first clean sheet since September with Joan Garcia in net.
  • A little over 45,000 attended the homecoming in a reduced-capacity venue still under construction, far below the future 100,000-plus target.
