Barca fail to score versus Athletic Bilbao twice in a row
Athletic Bilbao kept a clean sheet against Barcelona at San Mames this season and last term. This has not happened for 26 years.
In Bilbao, they are delighted because Athletic Bilbao claimed three points in their La Liga opener thanks to a brilliant scissor kick by Aduriz which made headlines around the world.
Athletic Bilbao beat the defending champions, who were unable to score against the Basques for the second consecutive season. Back in February, the two sides played out a goalless draw in the 2018-19 fixture.
So, Barcelona have gone 180 minutes without scoring against Athletic Bilbao. This has not happened for 26 years.
It was in 1993 when Athletic, coached by Jupp Heynckes at that time, kept two consecutive clean sheets against Barca. A Barca side which players like Koeman, Bakero, Salinas, Amor, Guardiola and Laudrup.
