4-0! Returned to home court after 909 days. The 1.11 billion wealthy club reached the top of the list with 3 consecutive victories. The 37-year-old striker scored to extend the record.

In the early morning of November 23, the 13th round of La Liga ushered in a strong showdown. Barcelona faced Athletic Bilbao at home.

The defending champion, worth a total of 1.11 billion, has been plagued by injuries. After defeating Elche and Celta Vigo in the last two league rounds, Barcelona has 28 points with 9 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 12 rounds, and is still 3 points behind Real Madrid at the top of the list.

Since Barcelona plays first in this round, as long as it defeats Bilbao, it will tie Real Madrid in points and can temporarily reach the top with its goal difference advantage.

Bilbao, which operates on two fronts, has had ups and downs. In the last round, it defeated Oviedo, which was at the bottom, 1-0. The Basque Lions just got rid of their three-game losing streak in the league + Champions League. The team is temporarily ranked sixth with 17 points.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Yamal disrupted Bilbao's defense by himself and finally managed to get the ball, but was not focused and was intercepted. Lewandowski shot from a small angle and broke the Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon's fingers.

This is also the first goal Barcelona scored after returning to the Nou Camp after 909 days, which is quite memorable. After turning 37, Lewandowski has scored 8 goals in La Liga and is the only 35-year-old veteran to score more than 5 goals.

The score behind forced Athletic Bilbao to strengthen its offense. The rhythm on the field increased rapidly. The two teams were attacking and defending each other, and the scene was quite beautiful.

In the 18th minute, Balde sent a wonderful pass. Fermin's single shot after a superb run was blocked by Unai Simon. Olmo's follow-up shot unfortunately went high.

In the 23rd minute, the bearded Phelan easily passed Simon and scored the ball into the empty goal. However, Phelan and Lewandowski were both offside and the goal was disallowed.

In the 40th minute, Bilbao's exquisite cooperation penetrated Barcelona's defense, and Nico Williams' shot hit the side net.

At the last moment of the first half, Barcelona launched a concise and quick counterattack. Yamal once again sent a rainbow pass through the half with the outside instep. Ferran Torres stopped the ball perfectly. The subsequent shot was saved by Simon, and the ball still rolled slowly into the net.

At the end of the first half, Barcelona temporarily led 2-0. Only 4 minutes into the second half, Barcelona continued to exert pressure in the frontcourt to complete the steal.

After a series of dazzling passes, Garcia sent a scalpel-like pass, and Fermin calmly scored, completely ending the suspense.

The Bilbao players who were lagging behind had emotional problems. Sanchet kicked out from behind and kicked Fermin in the leg with all his strength in anger. VAR intervened and the referee canceled the yellow card and directly showed Sanchet a red card.

Bilbao, which was at a numerical disadvantage, had no ability to attack at all. In the 80th minute, Raphinha made his comeback after two months to thunderous applause.

In the 90th minute, Yamal sent three consecutive assists. Ferran Torres scored twice. This time's pass + assist was amazing.

In the end, the defending champion Barcelona, ​​with a total worth of 1.11 billion, defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-0 without any effort. With this victory, Barcelona, ​​which played first in this round, tied with Real Madrid in points, and temporarily returned to the top of the list with its goal difference advantage.
