The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend as Barcelona take on Athletic Bilbao at the Camp Nou on Sunday. Barcelona are playing their first home game in over a month and have a point to prove in this game.

Athletic Bilbao are currently in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have been a resurgent force under Marcelino over the past few weeks. The Basque giants thrashed Getafe by a 5-1 margin and will be confident ahead of this match.

Barcelona have improved in the past few months under Ronald Koeman and will look to take three points away from this match. The Catalans suffered a 2-3 defeat against Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup final and will have to be wary of their opponents in this match.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
