August 28 will see Barca play their first away game of the new La Liga season in the highly anticipated Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona clash in the famous San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. Barcelona will be looking for another victory after their 6-2 thrashing of Real Betis in the Camp Nou last weekend.
Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona
Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona will give both teams the opportunity to continue their new seasons with an impressive victory. Athletic Bilbao lost their opening game of the season 2-1 away to Sporting de Gijón but have good recent form against Barcelona including a 4-0 home victory in last seasons Supercopa de España. The trip north to the Basque Country is a difficult fixture for any away side and Barca have dropped more points at this famous ground than at most others over the past decade.
Barca will be hoping for another fantastic season to continue with their incredible recent form. In the last two years Barcelona have won eight different trophies. In that time they have been European Champions and won La Liga two seasons in a row. 2016/2017 promises to be another exciting year for the club and their formidable squad of world class players.
Barca fans will be hoping to see the established stars like Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi continue their promising starts to the season with another win in the Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona fixture. Barcelona have also been busy during the close season by signing four new players to add to their squad. All of these players are under 24 years old and should be with the Catalan giants for many years to come.
The La Liga Champions have signed Samuel Umtiti, Denis Suárez, Lucas Digne and Andre Gomes. Athletic Bilbao vs FC Barcelona will give these new faces the chance to savour the unique atmosphere of the San Mamés Stadium in front of nearly 54,000 spectators.
