    It's almost a second from Barcelona as Sergi Roberto, from the corner of the penalty area, absolutely thumps a shot off the crossbar. Athletic almost out of the game there.

    Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo puts Ivan Rakitic under a lot of pressure with a weak pass but the referee bails him out by giving a free-kick for a foul on the Croat. Not sure the Athletic striker did anything wrong there.

    Think Chika might have sent this just as Luis Suarez's shot was hitting the back of the net.

  18. Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Barcelonapublished at 45 mins

    Ridiculous waste - Athletic have two players offside from the free-kick and their chance is done.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic is booked for catching Sabin Merino with an arm.

  20. Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Barcelonapublished at 42 mins

    That would have been a wonder-goal - Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo catches a corner and rolls it out, Andres Iniesta picks out Lionel Messi with a long ball over the top and then the Argentine plays a similar pass to Luis Suarez but a defender blocks his effort out for a corner.
