In a La Liga match on Saturday, March 7, 2026, Lamine Yamal scored the lone goal in the 68th minute, securing a 1-0 victory for Barcelona against Athletic Bilbao at San Mames Stadium. The 18-year-old's left-footed strike, his 19th goal of the season, maintains Barcelona's four-point lead over Real Madrid in the league standings. Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, rested key players like Pedri and Raphinha ahead of their Champions League match against Newcastle. Athletic Bilbao created numerous chances but were thwarted by Barcelona's goalkeeper, Joan Garcia. The win follows Barcelona's Copa del Rey semifinal loss to Atletico Madrid earlier in the week.
