Nothing played the two teams except pride and honor in another of the League classics. The two goals of Lewandowski in the first part, and the penalty that Dani Olmo transformed into the last play, in which the referee, in his farewell match, did not want to expel Yuri so as not to break his performance, closed the league, which has had a clear winner.
Two consecutive sparks of Barcelona unbalanced the game before the 20th minute. The first arrived in an action in which Fermín took advantage of two consecutive errors of the reddish half field to turn and, which before the departure of Unai Simon stung the ball over him. Just three minutes later, the Polish fattened his scoring figures with a header in the second stick after a corner that executed Raphinha and Unai Gómez, in his attempt to clear, combed the striker, who with that instinct of the predators knew where to place himself to score the second.
The Athletic did not deserve that early morning punishment, because until that moment and also later, he squeezed Barça well, tied Lamine in short and played cheerful in attack with a Nico Williams dynamic by the left wing, biting the night to Cubarsí with his wingspan of three bodies.
It is true that Hansi Flick’s team did not play anything in the envy, and many of his men, of course, are already thinking of suitcases or exotic destinations. Not for that reason, however, they had placed the closed poster for vacations, because the voracity of these players has no limits. Simply, the revolutions lowered.
So when Barça played in attack, with Athletic almost always well placed, he chose to move the ball a lot to try to disturb harmony between Jauregizar and Galarreta, the complicated filter of crossing. Lamine found little, because if he managed to overcome Yuri there was always some help to plug the wound. The Barcelona figure did not have to intervene for his team to take out the game forward. With Lewandowski’s scoring efficiency it was enough to take the three points.
Although it fell several times in the trap of the offside that Barça perfectly executes, Valverde’s team approached a lot, although without aim, to the goal of Iñaki Peña. De Marcos, in his last game as a footballer, in which he was honored by the stands, showed that a kid is physically made, even if he prefers to go fully. From his boots came a couple of interesting centers to the area, and an in -depth ball that found Maroan, although the striker ended up firing out in good situation.
In the second part Barcelona was more conservative. With Palomero Lewandowski, hunting for some counterattack, Flick’s team was loved by Athletic, he gave him a lot of ball, because the rojiblancos did not cease in his efforts. They played as if they were played more than closing the league process. Maybe to continue feeding that San Mamés is an almost impregnable field. Until Sunday, only Atlético had managed to win.
Those of Valverde had a clear occasion after a great play that Nico began, with an Eslalom that ended with an opening to Maroan, the center of the Vitoriano to the area and the failed auction of the little of the Williams that left diverted. Then, in a corner, Cubarsí was about to score in his goal, but the wrong shot crashed into the crossbar. The Bilbao spare parts came to the field, but they did not improve what there was. Sancet and Iñaki Williams had minutes, but their spark did not light because Barça controlled without problems.
San Mamés slept with the two anesthetized teams and every time with less spark, and the energy escaped the players after a long season when in the last action the VAR intervened to point out a penalty that González Fuertes did not want to whistle. He had to do it for legal imperative and Olmo shot Unai to put definitive figures on the scoreboard.
