Barcelona crushed Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at San Mames stadium for their final La Liga match. Robert Lewandowski scored twice for the visiting Catalans early in the first half. The Polish striker netted his 100th goal as a Barcelona player with his second strike. Dani Olmo finished the scoring with a penalty kick during stoppage time. The victory completed Barcelona's successful season with three national championships.

Athletic Bilbao created many scoring chances against the league champions throughout the match. Nico Williams and his teammates attacked the Barcelona defense repeatedly during the opening half. Referees canceled two Athletic goals for offside violations during the contest. Oscar de Marcos played his final professional game for Athletic after 16 seasons. Supporters gave the veteran captain a special farewell celebration before kickoff started.

Lewandowski opened the scoring with a smart chip shot over goalkeeper Unai Simón. His first goal marked Barcelona's 100th league strike of the entire season. The striker added his second goal just three minutes later from close range. Athletic kept attacking but could not score against Barcelona's defense. Video review officials awarded Barcelona a late penalty that Olmo converted successfully.
