Barcelona vs Athletic Club Competition – La Liga Stadium: Spotify Camp Nou Date: 22nd November 2025 Kick-off time – 15:15 GMT
Barcelona welcome Athletic Club to the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon for a La Liga encounter that sees the Catalan giants looking to maintain their recent momentum against a Basque side seeking improved consistency. The hosts enter this fixture having secured a 4-2 victory away at Celta Vigo in their most recent outing, a result that showcased their attacking prowess despite some defensive vulnerabilities. Prior to that success, Barcelona drew 3-3 away at Club Brugge in the Champions League and also claimed a 3-1 home win over Elche in domestic competition. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Real Madrid in El Clásico, though they also recorded an emphatic 6-1 home victory over Olympiacos, leaving them with three wins, one draw and one loss across their last five matches. Athletic Club arrive at the Camp Nou having secured a 1-0 home victory over Real Oviedo in their most recent match, a narrow success that ended a troubling run of three consecutive defeats. Prior to that narrow win, Athletic suffered a 2-0 loss away at Newcastle United in European competition and also fell 3-2 away at Real Sociedad in the Basque derby. Earlier in this sequence, they endured a 1-0 home defeat to Getafe, though they did claim a 3-1 home win against FK Qarabag, leaving them with two victories and three losses across their last five fixtures. The head-to-head record strongly favours Barcelona, who have won three of the last five meetings between these sides, with Athletic Club claiming one victory alongside a single draw. Most recently, Barcelona secured comprehensive away wins of 3-0 in May 2025 and 2-0 in January 2025 at San Mamés. Barcelona also won 2-1 at home in August 2024, while the sides played out a goalless draw at San Mamés in March 2024. Athletic Club’s sole victory in this period came via a 4-2 home win in January 2024. Saturday’s encounter represents a significant opportunity for Barcelona to extend their dominant record in this fixture and build on their impressive attacking form, while Athletic Club will need to rediscover the defensive solidity that has eluded them in recent weeks if they’re to claim a rare victory at one of Europe’s most iconic stadiums. The match kicks off at 15:15 GMT, with Spanish fans able to watch on DAZN Spain, Movistar+ and DAZN LaLiga, while international viewers can tune in via ESPN in the USA, beIN Sports across the Middle East and Africa, or TSN+ in Canada.
