Barcelona play their first home league game of the season against Athletic Club de Bilbao at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc in what will be new coach Hansi Flick’s first match in charge in Catalonia. The German oversaw a 2-1 victory away to Valencia on the opening weekend of the season, while Athletic were held to a 1-1 draw by Getafe in the Basque Country.

The build-up to the game has been dominated by transfer talk surrounding Athletic winger Nico Williams, who was publicly courted by Barça but opted not to join the LaLiga giants.

Despite Ilkay Gündogan’s return to Manchester City, the hosts look unlikely to be able to register summer signing Dani Olmo in time for the game, as they remain over the spending limit imposed by LaLiga.
