La Liga’s curtain falls at the iconic San Mamés as champions Barcelona visit high-flying Athletic Club on Sunday, May 25, in a celebratory clash between two of Spain’s most successful campaigns this season.
Having already sealed the La Liga title with two games to spare, Hansi Flick's treble-winning Barcelona will look to cap off a glorious season with a win. Athletic, meanwhile, have secured a top-four finish and a Champions League return for 2025/26.
🔴⚪UCL Bound Lions Look to Beat Barca Again after 6 years | Home Win = 3.28💵
Ernesto Valverde's side has enjoyed a stellar year, reaching the Europa League semis and boasting La Liga's best home defensive record—just 10 goals conceded in 18 games. They’ve also won their last three matches without conceding.
Though they fell short of a dream European final in Bilbao, the Lions will be in high spirits after guaranteeing top-four status. They are unbeaten in their last three at San Mamés and will look to end their campaign with a statement win.
🔵🔴Barca Eye 100-Goal Mark in Dominant Title Run | Away Win = 2.14💵
The Blaugrana are gunning for a fourth major trophy this season after clinching La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and Supercopa. With 99 goals in the league, they’ll want to cross the century mark in style on the final day.
Despite a surprise 3-2 loss to Villarreal last weekend—Barca’s first domestic defeat of 2025—they remain La Liga's best away team, collecting 42 points from 18 road games. Flick is expected to rotate his squad, but the intent remains the same: finish strong.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰
Athletic could be without star winger Nico Williams and defender Yeray Alvarez due to injury doubts. Inaki Williams and Jauregizar are tipped to start, with Sannadi pushing for a spot up front.
Barcelona remain without Kounde, Bernal, and Torres, while Araujo is unlikely to be risked. Frenkie de Jong and Alejandro Balde are set to return, while Dani Olmo may replace Fermin Lopez despite the latter’s strong form.
