93'FT: Ath Bilbao 1-1 (10) Barcelona!! All over in Bilbao and the hosts were definitely the better team for 70 minutes, but the Catalans finished the stronger. I Martinez gave the hosts the lead in the 50th minute, but Depay levelled 15 minutes from time. E Garcia saw red for Barca right at the end. That's all from us, thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
-
93'The free-kick hits the wall and that's that!

en el 75' (Barcelona)
-
75 'Barca level through Depay!!! Sergi Roberto passes to Depay on the counter and he fires past Agirrezabala at his near post!! It's hit with power, but the GK shouldn't be beaten there. It goes through his hands. The move started when D Garcia lost the ball in Barca's half.
-
74'De Jong denied by the crossbar!!! Alba plays a pass to De Jong and the Dutchman's chip strikes the bar!
-
68'Barca go forward through Depay and it's headed away by Balenziaga.

-
46'Athletic Bilbao get us going again!
-
45'HT: Athletic Bilbao 0-0 Barcelona! Half-time in Bilbao and the Basques have been the much better team. However, Barca leave the field unhappy as Araujo's goal was disallowed for a foul by Braithwaite on Balenziaga which I think was rather dicey. Sancet's bar effort is the closest the hosts have come. Back for more shortly!
Goal disallowed
-
45'Barca score, but it doesn't count! The ball into the box is headed by Braithwaite on Balenziaga, the GK doesn't claim under pressure from E Garcia and Araujo overhead kicks it into the net. I think that foul is a touch generous...

a Athletic

-
PRVWThe players are out and we're ready for play!
-
PRVWBarca are unchanged from the 4-2 win over Sociedad last Sunday.
-
PRVWInigo Lekue for Oscar de Marcos is the only change Bilbao make from the Elche game.
-
PRVWThe other player is Dani Vivian. He's a 22 year-old defender from the B team who was on loan at second division Mirandes last term. He also made his debut against Elche.
-
PRVWTwo unfamiliar faces in the Athletic line-up. Julen Agirrezabala, the GK, is just 20. He is from the B team and he made his debut in the 0-0 draw at Elche on Monday. He is obviously rated highly as he is playing ahead of 25 year-old Jokin Ezkieta.

PRVWBarcelona XI: Neto (GK); Alba, Eric Garcia, Pique, Dest; Pedri, Busquets, F de Jong; Braithwaite, Depay and Griezmann.
