Barcelona would face Athletic Club in their second match of the year's La Liga 2021-22 season on Sunday, August 22. The match would be played at the San Mames stadium ad is scheduled to begin at 01:30 am IST (Indian Standard Time). Barcelona have begun their post-Lionel Messi life on a good note with a commanding 4-2 win over Real Sociedad last week. Messi's departure was a tearful one as his 17-season stay at the club was over all of a sudden and it was highly speculated that they would struggle to be the dominant force they are generally known to be, in both domestic and European football. But in the two matches that they have played so far (against Juventus in the Joan Gamper Trophy) and against Real Sociedad in La Liga, they've looked relatively strong and have cruised to victories without much difficulty. Coach Ronald Koeman would hope his side can keep up the intensity when they face Athletic Bilbao in their next match. Barcelona Transfer News: Ilaix Moriba Set For Summer Exit After RB Leipzig Interest
