Barcelona continued their perfect start to the 2026/27 La Liga season with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Club at the Camp Nou on Thursday. Raphinha opened the scoring in the 37th minute after being set up by Pedri, giving the hosts a deserved lead after dominating possession and creating several chances.
Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simón kept the visitors in the contest with several important saves as Barcelona continued to press for a second goal. Athletic threatened occasionally, but Barcelona maintained control, with new signing Rodri making his much-anticipated debut after coming on in the second half.
Fermin López eventually sealed the victory in the 82nd minute, taking advantage of a defensive mistake to make it 2-0. The result gives Barcelona another three points and extends their unbeaten start, while Raphinha and Fermin have both scored in their opening league matches.
