Party Montjuïc Last week in which they raised the La Liga Trophy Despite a defeat against Villarreal, Barcelona goes to the Basque country to finish his campaign with a match against the historic rivals Athletic Bilbao in San Mamés In the final of the 2024-25 season on Sunday evening Fútbol.
It will be the 380th and final La Liga Match of the season, and it should be very fun. The two teams are locked in their places in the table, there is therefore no participation, giving both parties the freedom to have fun and make a show in front of one of the best crowds of football.
These two never play boring matches, especially in San MamésSo we have to expect 90 fun minutes in which the two games will seek a victorious end in the season. Hansi Flick wants Barça to sign the right track and end an unforgettable campaign with a last victory, especially after a defeat last week.
But the truth is that the result does not really matter, and most of the large stars of the two teams will focus on staying healthy and avoiding injuries before playing big matches for their various national teams in 10 days.
This has the potential to be a little boring if the players are not too interested in taking big risks physically, but these two teams usually end up making a good show whatever the circumstances and we should be fun on Sunday.
Dance.
Possible alignments
Barcelona (4-2-3-1): TER Stegen; Eric, Cubars, Iñigo, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Athletic (4-2-3-1): Simón; De Marcos, Vivian, Paredes, Yuri; De Galarreta, Jaucregizar; I. Williams, Schet, Berenguer; Sannadi
PREDICTION
Losing two games in a row to finish the season does not matter, but it still would not be good from the point of view of Barça. I think it will be fun and high, and the Blaugrana will find a way to bring home at least one point: 2-2 draw.
