Barcelona Tops Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in La Liga

Barcelona secured a 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski scoring for the Catalan giants. Yamal opened the scoring in the 24th minute, exploiting his friend Nico Williams' defensive weakness, while Oihan Sancet equalized for Athletic from the penalty spot before halftime. Lewandowski, who missed several earlier chances, finally netted the winner in the 75th minute. The win marks a strong start for new coach Hansi Flick, with Barcelona claiming maximum points from their first two matches. Despite financial constraints preventing the registration of new signing Dani Olmo, Barcelona's youthful lineup, including 17-year-old Yamal, showcased their potential.
