    FT: Barcelona 4-0 Athletic! The match is over! Totally controlled by the home side and it ends in a thrashing to the delight of the fans. They started off by taking the lead after a goal from Auba, but the show came in the second half. Pedri took control of the game and began to distribute balls to his teammates. Dembele had a great game from the moment he came on for Adama. He started by scoring a great goal and finished with two assists: one to Luuk De Jong and the other to Memphis.

    GOAL for Barca! What a great goal from the home side! It all started with a magician called Pedri in midfield. He switched flanks to Dembele who crossed a great ball into the box and there was Luuk De Jong waiting to score a great headed goal. Very comfortable for Barca at the Camp Nou!
