Barcelona make a stunning return to Camp Nou

Barcelona marked their long-awaited comeback to the renovated Camp Nou — their first match at home in 909 days — with a commanding performance and a dazzling 4–0 victory over Athletic Bilbao. The Catalan crowd witnessed a confident display as Robert Lewandowski and Fermín López each found the net, while Ferran Torres stole the spotlight with a well-taken brace. Bilbao’s task became even harder after Oihan Sancet was sent off in the 54th minute, leaving the visitors a man down for most of the second half.
The emphatic win allows Barcelona to draw level with Real Madrid in the league standings, though Los Blancos still hold a game in hand.
