PREVIEW | Athletic Club v FC Barcelona - FC Barcelona
After the 4-2 defeat of Real Sociedad on the opening day, Barça face another Basque opponent in their first road trip of the campaign. Athletic Club are the side they comfortably beat 4-0 in last season’s Copa del Rey Final, but they have not always had such an upper hand in recent encounters.

Friday marks the anniversary of Pedri’s official presentation as an FC Barcelona player on 20 August 2020.
