Transcript

00:00La Mena Mall scored his first La Liga goal of the season as Barcelona battled to a narrow

00:04win over Athletic Bilbao at the Olympic Stadium.

00:08The 17-year-old Spain winger put Hunsi Flick's side in front in the 24th minute with a curling

00:13shot from outside the box which deflected off the head of Athletic defender Inigo Lique.

00:18Athletic got themselves back on level terms when they were awarded a penalty a minute

00:22before half-time, after Pau Cubarsi felled Alex Berenguer inside the box.

00:27Eugen Sansat confidently sent Marc-Andre Ter Stegen the wrong way from the resulting

00:31spot-kick.

00:33Robert Lewandowski, who scored both goals in the Catalan club's 2-1 win over Valencia

00:38on the opening weekend, got the winner with 15 minutes to go.

00:42The Poland striker had twice hit the post from good positions earlier in the game but

00:46secured the points with a classic poacher's goal.

00:49Pedri's low cross was parried by visiting goalkeeper Alex Padilla and Lewandowski pounced

00:53on the loose ball to hook home from close range.

00:57Barca's victory maintained their 100 per cent start to the season in La Liga, with

01:01champions Real Madrid hosting Real Valladolid at the Bernabeu at 16.00hrs BST on Sunday.

01:08Almo still unavailable for Blaugrana

01:11Barcelona showed plenty of character to wrap up a gritty win, but were once again without

01:15new £51m signing Dani Almo.

01:19The 26-year-old returned to Barcelona from RB Leipzig, having played for them at youth

01:24level.

01:25However, the Catalan club have reportedly been unable to register Almo because of the

01:29Spanish league's squad cost control rules.

01:32German midfielder Ilki Gundogan left for former club Manchester City on a free transfer last

01:37week to ease Barca's financial position.

01:40Gundogan had an impressive debut campaign in Spain but was one of Barca's highest earners.

01:46Barcelona are also believed to be willing to sell striker Vitor Roque before the transfer

01:50deadline.

01:51They recently announced the departure of captain Sergi Roberto, while full-back Julian

01:56Araujo left for Bournemouth.
