Barcelona will face Athletic Club in this La Liga matchup on Saturday at Camp Nou, and you can catch all the action with ESPN.
How to Watch Barcelona vs Athletic Club
Barcelona's return to the newly renovated Camp Nou could provide a major spark for the hosts. After a long absence from their iconic home due to the stadium's refurbishment, the Catalans will be fired up to make a statement in front of their partial capacity of 45,401. Despite a few injury worries, including key names like Pedri and Ter Stegen reportedly unavailable. The likes of Lamine Yamal are tipped to lead the charge; he's back in training and could feature, offering Barcelona fresh energy from the flanks. Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski remains a focal point up top as Barça pushes to capitalize on its revitalized home base.
On the other side, Athletic Bilbao arrive in mixed form. They've picked up some points, but their away record is shaky. Recent analysis suggests they've been unable to land a league win on the road, with their offense struggling to make a consistent impact. Key figures like Nico Williams are expected to be important, but with several injuries and suspensions reported, their squad depth may be tested. Tactically, Barcelona will likely dominate possession and look to press aggressively, while Athletic may attempt to hit on the break, but history is firmly on Barça's side: they've won the vast majority of their recent home clashes and seem well positioned to do so again.
This is a great La Liga match that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
