From the outset, Barça displayed a stable attacking performance, with good ball distribution and a high press that hampered the Bilbao side’s organization. Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the fifth minute, while Ferran Torres, with a brace, and Fermín López completed the 4-0 victory.
Manager Hansi Flick reinforced the high defensive line and achieved a better response compared to previous matches. He also had key players available again, such as goalkeeper Joan García and Brazilian winger Raphinha, the team’s captain.
As a symbolic gesture for the return to the stadium, the Blaugrana wore the phrase «We’re back home» on the front of their shirts. The ceremonial kickoff was performed by a prominent figure from the club.
