Athletic Bilbao 2, Barcelona 5

Barcelona won, once again, their last La Liga match over a 10 men Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, with a  5-2 victory at San Mames and closed the gap with La Liga leaders Real Madrid to just one point.

The Catalans scored their first goal just 15 minutes after the start of the match, thanks again to an inspired Lionel Messi. Messi free Kick just outside of the box was deflected by Bilbao wall and wrong footed the goalkeeper.

Just eleven minutes later, Luis Suarez doubled the lead and again Messi out on the right received the ball after a usual stylish build for Barcelona and then the Argentinian laid the ball to Suarez who fired from outside of the box.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Bilbao scored their first goal through Mikel Rico after a first save for Barcelona goalkeeper, and this started a crazy seven minutes of goal scoring action.

Two minutes after Bilbao’s score, Barcelona regained their two goal advantage through De Marcos own goal, Messi diverted a cross back across goal and the ball hit the chest of De Marcos.

Then Neymar scored the fourth just three minutes later with a typical move, Messi played the ball across the box to Neymar and he made no mistake. And Bilbao just two minutes after Neymar score was able to decrease Barcelona advantage thanks to Aduriz, beating Claudio Bravo and ending a goal period.

But the game was over just fifteen minutes before the end when Xavier Etxeita saw a deserved red card after stopping Luis Suarez at the center of the pitch.

But The Catalans still were able to score another goal, a sublime Messi jiggled at the 18 yard box and played to Sergio Busquets who then put the ball in Pedro’s feet who completed the scoring.
