"I've felt the affection of the people. Very happy to return with a victory. I feel comfortable trying to help the team. If I need to be braver, I'm happy to be. Today it went well. We've been looking for a clean sheet for a while now. We've changed a few things, but every game is different. Hopefully, we can achieve it in the following matches as well."
"Athletic is a very dangerous team, they press very well, and they managed to steal the ball from us near our goal. That early goal was good, and now we have to keep working hard for Tuesday. We were really looking forward to playing here, and it's been filled to the maximum capacity possible. Hopefully, we can continue like this for every match."
FC Barcelona recorded a commanding 4-0 victory over Athletic Club in the first match at the redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou, moving to the top of the La Liga table. Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres (two), and Fermin López scored the goals. Joan Garcia returned from a two-month injury layoff and produced a confident debut at Camp Nou, acting as a sweeper-keeper when needed and helping secure a first clean sheet in two months. Athletic applied strong pressing and created moments, but Barcelona dominated overall. The stadium saw near-maximum capacity despite one stand remaining closed, and the team aims to build on this result for upcoming fixtures.
