The thing other sides will take from this is that the Barcelona defence is not a fearsome presence. Nine goals conceded in just three games. Plenty for Luis Enrique to mull before their La Liga opener.

Jeremy Mathieu was guilty of fluffing up that one, gifting possession needlessly to Athletic Bilbao.
No chance of winning all six trophies they contest this season for Barcelona.
Aritz Aduriz
That's it! Athletic Bilbao are going to win tehir first trophy in 31 years as the absence of Gerard Pique costs Barcelona. Home keeper Claudio Bravo suddenly finds his defence missing and facing Aritz Aduriz alone. He saves the striker's first shot but can't hold it and Aduriz doesn't miss a second time.

Some furious finger wagging from Aritz Aduriz after the forward and Claudio Bravo charge in on a loose ball and the Barcelona keeper gets there just before him. Aduriz is furious, but can consider himself lucky not to receive a second yellow there.
