In a thrilling LaLiga encounter on Saturday, Robert Lewandowski once again showcased his crucial role for FC Barcelona, scoring a decisive 75th-minute goal to secure a 2-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao. This win marks Barcelona's second consecutive triumph, keeping them at the top of the league standings alongside Celta Vigo, both with six points.

The match began with Barcelona taking the lead in the 24th minute, thanks to a deflected strike from promising teenager Lamine Yamal. However, Athletic Bilbao equalized just before halftime when Oihan Sancet converted a penalty after Pau Cubarsi fouled Alex Berenguer in the box.

Lewandowski, who had previously hit the woodwork twice in the match, ultimately found the back of the net from a rebound, striking a first-time effort past the goalkeeper. This goal not only solidified his status as the match-winner for the second game in a row but also highlighted his importance to the team's early success this season.

While Lewandowski's performance was pivotal, Yamal emerged as the standout player, contributing significantly to Barcelona's attacking play. Among players born since 2005, he ranks second in goal involvements in the top five European leagues, with an impressive tally of six goals and six assists.

On the other side, Sancet's penalty marked a milestone for him, making him the third-youngest Athletic player to reach 25 LaLiga goals in the 21st century, following in the footsteps of notable players Fernando Llorente and Iker Muniain.

As the season progresses, Barcelona will look to maintain their momentum, with Lewandowski and Yamal leading the charge in pursuit of glory in LaLiga.
