Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona Prediction 25.05.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: Spain - La Liga
• Date: Sunday, 25th, May 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio San Mames (Bilbao)

San Mames will bring the curtain down on the 2024-25 LaLiga campaign with a thrilling showdown as Athletic Bilbao host newly crowned Barcelona on Sunday night.

Athletic Bilbao have cemented their grip on fourth place as Berenguer’s clinical strike in the 72nd minute proved decisive during a fiery showdown at Mestalla against a stubborn Valencia, meaning they will grace Champions League football next season after a decade-long exile.

On the flip side, Barcelona have flourished under the guidance of Hansi Flick who delivered all available national trophies in his maiden year in charge, wrapping up the LaLiga crown ahead of schedule even though they slipped up in a dramatic five-goal thriller against Villarreal last week.

Since this encounter comes with zero stakes and no tension with Athletic having sealed Champions League qualification and Barcelona having secured the league crown, both teams are expected to unleash their firepower and serve up a goal-laden offensive showcase for the fans at San Mames. The Basque outfit welcome Spain’s newly crowned champions riding a wave of momentum after stringing together three straight wins without conceding, yet trying to contain Barcelona’s relentless attacking machine feels more like wishful thinking than a realistic objective. Indeed, Hansi Flick has not only instilled a champion’s mindset but transformed the Catalan giants into a deadly attacking force that looks merciless and unforgiving in front of goal, which is perfectly shown by their astonishing 171 goals scored in only 59 games across all fronts this season. With the title already in their pocket, Barca are now looking to surpass the 100-goal mark in LaLiga as they sit on 99 heading into the final day of the season, and we are confident they will achieve it since they are nearly unstoppable in the final third, but we also expect the Basque club to respond offensively and treat the San Mames crowd to a goal fest.
