Lewandowski Scores Again

Barcelona continued their strong start to the 2024/25 LaLiga EA Sports season with a 2-1 victory over Athletic Club at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday. The match saw a stunning opening goal from Barcelona’s young star, Lamine Yamal, in the 24th minute. The 17-year-old, showing remarkable poise, controlled the ball following a free-kick, created space with a deft move to the left, and curled a superb shot into the bottom corner. His celebration with Alejandro Balde hinted at a dominant performance ahead, but Athletic Club was determined to fight back.

The Basque side found an equalizer just before halftime when Pau Cubarsi conceded a penalty. Oihan Sancet stepped up and coolly placed the ball into the top-right corner, leveling the score and silencing the home crowd. Despite the setback, Barcelona managed to secure the win, maintaining their early momentum in the league.

Barcelona’s pressure eventually paid off in the second half, with both teams looking capable of securing a winning goal. However, it was the experience and quality of Robert Lewandowski that made the difference. In the 75th minute, Pedri made a dynamic run into the box, reached the byline, and delivered a precise pass to Lewandowski, who confidently smashed the ball into the back of the net, sealing the victory for Barcelona.
