On 12 March, Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 1–0 away, with Raphinha scoring the only goal of the match. The win helped keep the 9 point lead at the top of the table ahead of the El Clásico.[131][132] This was Barcelona's 19th clean sheet in the league in which they have conceded only eight goals in 25 matches, breaking the record for fewest goals conceded after 25 matches, held jointly by Deportivo La Coruña in the 1993–94 season and Atlético Madrid in the 1990–91 season, both teams conceding 10 goals in 25 games.[133]

Aside from Christensen's goal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha also contributed to the win with a goal each, and the last goal was an own goal scored by Real Betis' midfielder Guido Rodríguez.[155][156] The match also had a special significance because 15-year-old La Masia graduate Lamine Yamal became the youngest ever appearance maker for Barça smashing the record which had been held by Armand Martinez Sagi since 2 April 1922. Martinez Sagi was aged 15 years, 11 months and five days when he appeared in a 1–1 draw against Sporting de Gijón.[157][158]

The new Camp Nou will have a retractable roof covered in 30,000 square metres of solar panels and will have 105,000 seating capacity.[179][180][181]
Barcelona marked the special occasion with a 3–0 win over Mallorca, with Ansu Fati scoring twice and Gavi scoring once.[182][183][184] It was also a special occasion since it was the last match at the Camp Nou for both club legends Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, both of whom played for 80 minutes and came off the pitch to a long and emotional standing ovation and applause from the spectators.[185][186][187] Marc-André ter Stegen earned his 26th clean sheet of the season, equalling the all-time record in the league, set by Deportivo La Coruña's Francisco Liaño in the 1993–94 season.[188][189]
