Wasteful Lewandowski fails to catch Mbappe as Barcelona end LALIGA season with a win
Barcelona beat Athletic Club 3-0 at the usually daunting San Mamés to close out a triumphant LALIGA campaign with a victory.
Robert Lewandowski scored a brace inside the first 20 minutes, threatening to score the six goals needed to at least share the Pichichi title with Kylian Mbappe. However, he missed two other big opportunities, and Barcelona's next goal came from Dani Olmo, after the Polish striker had left the pitch.
