00:00There's no Pedri, there's no Frenkie de Jong, we ex...
00:13Firmin Lopez, Danny Olmo, Laminya Mal.
00:25After two games out, injured, there is no record.
00:30So, we're just about ready then.
00:33Now Gerard Martin going to be playing as the left-sided central defender.
00:37We are underway then, the Spotify camp, here is Lamin, and still Laminya Mal and in the end.
00:44We'll talk about that in just a second, here is Ferran Torres who's through on goal.
00:48Lewandowski bringing in Baldé, Lewandowski gets it back.
00:52Out wide to Sunset, Nico Williams making his way into the box.
00:56Danger not cleared.
01:00But we're looking for Nico Williams.
01:03And on comes Joan Garcia, although Nico Williams...
01:06...with a fever, and he does usually take those set-pieces.
01:10The pitch looking in...
01:19...play from Barcelona, but it was sharp in the sides.
01:21Of course, the Athletic...
01:23It falls to Lewandowski here.
01:26Athletic didn't clear their lines.
01:28And Robert Lewandowski opens the scoring.
01:33Athletic club could have cleared.
01:36They didn't.
01:37And they gave Robert Lewandowski half a chance.
01:41Which he gratefully took.
01:43So much has happened in this game.
01:46And I've just...
01:47Benninger with the corner, into the near post.
01:52Success as manager of Barcelona, it's...
02:00Twice the player he was in these first couple of years at Barcelona.
02:03Here is Olmo.
02:06Can't find Valdé, who was in space.
02:08Scoring lists.
02:09He is a Barcelona.
02:12Can we see that?
02:13And Ferran taking it round the goalkeeper.
02:15And finishing.
02:17The flag is up.
02:20Although, yes.
02:21Maybe one or two question marks.
02:22Dispossessed there.
02:23Here's Lewandowski.
02:24Losing out in midfield as they try to play the ball out from the back.
02:29This high press from Athletic.
02:31All for Barcelona.
02:35Nico Williams.
02:37Still Nico gets the shot away, but...
02:42Lovely cushioned pass.
02:43Seems he's trying to find...
02:45Ferran.
02:50Still Unai.
02:51Seeing him back out on the pitch.
02:56Lewandowski succeeds and Barcelona are 1-0 up.
02:59Coming off the back of our pressure.
03:01Being applied on the midfield players of Athletic Club.
03:04Juli Becicche.
03:08Last week against...
03:10Celta Vigo.
03:11The previous match day.
03:15Both these sides.
03:16In champion.
03:18To recover the ball in this position.
03:19But we haven't been able to...
03:22Champions League defeats.
03:24Most notably...
03:29In terms of quality and skill.
03:32But different.
03:33Ferran Torres can Fermin finish.
03:36And the follow-up.
03:39Why the hostile reset?
03:40Nothing actually happens.
03:42There is Balde.
03:44A really good opening for Balde.
03:46And is the fifth highest goalscorer in Barcelona's history.
03:51He's on a hundred.
03:52Trying to do with the pass.
03:55Camino Simon just...
03:59Correzabo.
04:00The air to the back post.
04:04Decent ball in.
04:07And their technique of Williams.
04:08Vital.
04:12Lameen.
04:13Back to Robert Lewandowski in space.
04:15Lewandowski.
04:17Balde up against Nico.
04:19Good ball in.
04:20Aretha to take this free kick.
04:21It's floated in towards Laporte.
04:23Headed away by Koundé.
04:34In by Berenguer.
04:35Towards Laporte.
04:36To be another corner.
04:38Berenguer.
04:39Floated in.
04:41Sanced on the ball.
04:43And he's found Unai Gómez.
04:44And Unai.
04:46Cannot keep it down.
04:54Big wrist taken there.
04:55Danny Vivian strong.
04:57Fairly as well.
05:01Can bring to the team.
05:02In different positions.
05:03In different positions.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Fulfill those roles.
05:07Yuri pulling it back to Nico Williams.
05:09Into the side.
05:10Netting.
05:12I get the impression.
05:13He still sees himself as.
05:15Chance that was.
05:16Is Koundé.
05:19Is he done?
05:24Towards Sanced.
05:27Just gifting possession.
05:28Balde.
05:29And keeps going.
05:33To be Jean Garcia.
05:34But.
05:38Gonna dance his way through.
05:39But.
05:44Four players in the box.
05:45For Athletic.
05:46It.
05:47Is in towards Unai.
05:48And here is Nico.
05:49Percice.
05:50Digging out across.
05:51And finding Nico Williams.
05:52Who brings it down.
05:53And.
05:54In possession.
05:56Hands your flick.
05:58Balde is back on the pitch.
05:59The moment.
06:00Looks like.
06:01In the second half.
06:02We still have.
06:04First half to finish.
06:05Spurned by Unai Gomez.
06:08Nico Williams.
06:09Kept his calm.
06:10To.
06:11Barcelona team.
06:14Obvious targets.
06:15My better yet.
06:16Punched away.
06:17By Zreimgat.
06:18In 90 minutes.
06:19So.
06:20Beware.
06:21Athletic club.
06:23Here he is.
06:24I don't think for one minute.
06:25It's the defence here.
06:26Keeping the move alive.
06:27It.
06:30Selton Senchez.
06:31Who's 18.
06:32Who's.
06:33Space here.
06:34For Ferran Torres.
06:35Who.
06:36Takes the shot on.
06:38Here's Balde.
06:40All given away.
06:41It's work to Berenguer.
06:43Can he get forward.
06:44For one final attacking.
06:45They still look very much in this game.
06:48In this pass line up.
06:49Break.
06:50Again by Berenguer.
06:51In the way.
06:52By Gerard Martin.
06:53Laminia.
06:54Regalareta.
06:55To Jaurekizar.
06:56Who is dispossessed by.
06:57Eric.
06:58All day.
07:01What a ball that is.
07:02Put.
07:03Ferran Torres.
07:04Through on goal.
07:06And the second goal is there.
07:09Unai Simon.
07:10Once again.
07:11Unable to stop it.
07:13Laminia Mal.
07:14With an extraordinary assist.
07:16And Ferran Torres.
07:18Finds the finish.
07:20Again.
07:21Unai Simon.
07:22Could have done better.
07:23Now Barcelona don't care.
07:24They've doubled their lead.
07:26With the final play of the first half.
07:29And just after I said.
07:30We haven't seen it in for them.
07:32He should be looking there.
07:35It's 1985.
07:36And that record is.
07:38Not changing.
07:39Positions there for.
07:40Valverde's team.
07:42Four or five players in.
07:44Attacking.
07:45Goal scoring position.
07:46The opponent's half.
07:47In the division.
07:48Athletic club.
07:49You see.
07:50Gets it back.
07:51Eric.
07:52And just about finds.
07:53Fermin.
07:54Who finds the back of the net.
07:55Barcelona have a third.
07:56At the start of this second half.
07:57It's Fermin.
07:58With the goal.
07:59And that.
08:00Could well be that.
08:01Yep.
08:02It's going to be.
08:03Incredibly tough.
08:04Almost impossible.
08:05For athletic club.
08:06As I say.
08:07Only.
08:08They don't score enough goals.
08:09So.
08:10Lamine is through.
08:11And he's found.
08:12Ferran.
08:13And it's pretty much average.
08:14Isn't it.
08:15Pass.
08:16All over the top.
08:17Looking.
08:18For Fermin.
08:19Lovely ball.
08:20To find.
08:21Olmo.
08:22Who pulls it back.
08:23The top.
08:24Looking for.
08:25Dani Olmo.
08:26Finding him.
08:27Fermin's in the middle.
08:28Here it's Lamine.
08:41They played more.
08:43They may have been starting today.
08:45From Berenguer.
08:47And the shot from Dani Vivian.
08:49Makes Hanzi Flick just as happy if it comes.
08:53From Fermin.
08:55They're going to lose hope now.
08:59Eran, going to give it back to the number 10.
09:02The fixtures, Barcelona today, and then they've got Real Madrid and...
09:06There are obvious ones, but I mean, Jamal, he's got this ongoing...
09:10...the box.
09:12It falls to Guruseta.
09:15There is still a long, long time left in this game.
09:18Yeah.
09:18Here's Koundé, it falls to Olmo, just...
09:27They are averaging just under three goals a game.
09:35Doing, resting La Mignemal, here is Olmo.
09:41Here is Fermin.
09:44Here is Laporte.
09:45Always to go and outscore their opponents, and I think they saw the weakness.
