Bilbao ended last season in fine form after enjoying a five-match unbeaten run, winning four of those games. Reigning champions Barcelona come into the match in good form, with Ernesto Valverde’s side winning their last four pre-season contests.
Hello and welcome to tonight’s live coverage of the opening La Liga clash of the campaign between Athletic Club and Barcelona. This evening’s game will be the third time in five years that Bilbao have hosted Barcelona at home on the first weekend of the season. They lost both of those games 1-0 and will be hoping to improve that record this time around.
