FC Barcelona started the 2026/27 season in impressive fashion, defeating Basel 5-2 in a friendly match at the St. Jakob-Park in Switzerland.
The match was marked by strong performances from the club’s new signings and another outstanding display from young star Lamine Yamal.
Under the management of Barcelona’s coaching staff, the team showed an attacking style of football and found the net through Karim Adeyemi, Abdelkarim, Lamine Yamal, and Jesse Bisiwu, who scored twice in the final stages of the match.

German forward Karim Adeyemi, recently signed from Borussia Dortmund, made an immediate impact by scoring his first goal in a Barcelona shirt.
The attacker showed his speed and attacking instinct, giving fans an early glimpse of what he can bring to the team.
However, Basel responded before halftime and managed to equalize, sending both teams into the break level at 1-1.
Lamine Yamal Continues to Shine for Barcelona
Barcelona returned from the break with a more aggressive approach and quickly regained control of the match.
Young academy product Abdelkarim restored Barcelona’s lead by scoring the second goal of the game.
Shortly after, Lamine Yamal extended the advantage by converting a penalty, once again showing his importance in the Barcelona squad.
