    Time:90'
    • Athletic Bilbao
    • FC Barcelona
    • 90' It's all over and Bilbao take a point they fully deserve for their second-half showing.
    • 90' Three minutes of time added on are signalled.
    • 85' Barca throw on Henry for Xavi and he is getting the bird. Can't understand why.
    • 83' Barca are coming on strong now and Xavi sees his drive fly just wide of the post.
    • 78' Pique attacks a header from a corner and makes good contact but the ball flies just over.
    • 77' Bilbao make a final change, Llorente is replaced by De Marcos.
    • 76' Barca bring on Bojan for Messi who has looked tired in the last few minutes.
    • 74' Yeste is off and replaced by Gabilondo.
    • 73' Dancing feet from Iniesta and he makes a yard but his curler from the edge of the box flies over the top.
    • 67' Brilliant play from Barca who slice through the defence, but Gurpegi gets back to make a vital tackle to stop Messi.
    • 65' A yellow card for Keita for catching a Bilbao player with a stray arm. Seemed a bit harsh.
    • 63' GOAL BILBAO! It's gone wild in the San Mames as the sub does the business. Llorente flicks on a header and it falls between the two centre halves and Toquero slams home to level the scores.
    • 58' Attacking change for Bilbao with Toquero on for Orbaiz.
    • 58' Bilbao are having a god and Gurpegi volleys wide from 25 yards. The crowd are rigth behind the home side now.
    • 56' Bilbao look to answer, Koikil whips in a good cross and Llorente is just unable to convert.
    • 54' GOAL BARCA! In the blink of an eye Barca are ahead. Alves dashes beyond his marker and Bilbao cannot track him, the pass from Xavi is magic and Alves slots home from eight yards.
    • 53' Good defending from Pique who looks under pressure after stretching for a ball, but gets up and shepherds the ball out of play. Great strength.
    • 48' It looks like a scene from Platoon as there are bodies strewn all over the Barca area following a scramble. Two Bilbao players are receiving treatment but now seem okay.
    • 46' The players are out for the second half and Barca get the game action underway.
    • 45' WHAT A MISS! Javi Martinez demonstrates that he has a head like a sheriff's badge. Yeste whips in a great cross, Martinez is three yards out with the goal gaping but planted his effort wide. It looked easier to score than to miss.
    • 41' Yeste lets fly from the free kick but it flies over the top.
    • 40' The whistles ring round the San Mames as Chygrynsky brings down Llorente with a wild lunge.
    • 33' Dani Alves is a full back who likes to attack but his defending can sometimes be suspect. Not this time as a ball is dinked over the top and he's not favourite, but somehow he sticks out a leg. So good is his touch, he controls the ball and coolly plays it away. Brilliant.
    • 29' BRILLIANCE! Messi wins a lost cause of a ball by taking a ball he has no right to win, he beats another man and dinks a cross over with the outside of his boot for Xavi but he is just unable to turn the ball home. It was so good from Messi, again.
    • 25' Barca come forward again, Chyrynsky feeds Pedro who has cut in from the right and he shoots narrowly over from 20 yards.
    • 21' Messi has been caught in the face by a high boot and he's very lucky it's not worse than a little cut.
    • 18' Barca are turning the screw now and it's Messi who shows a touch in the box that defies belief and whips in a cross but Bilbao smuggle the ball clear. Football's an expensive game to go and watch now but you'd happily pay good money to watch Messi and his mates.
    • 17 CLOSE! Messi looks to atone, he flicks a cross for Keita who makes good contact with his header but it goes just wide.
    • 16' A MISS FROM MESSI! The Argentine is played through and is one-on-one with the keeper. He seems certain to score as he shapes his shot, but he fires it straight at the keeper.
    • 13' Brilliant play from Barca, a pass from Chygrynsky picks out Pedro, he drives into the box and beats one man but tries to beat him again and the chance goes beggin. But what a pass from Chygrynsky.
    • 12' Pedro breaks down the right and looks to whip in a cross but it goes straight to the keeper.
    • 10' Ten minutes in and Barca are finding it tough to get the ball down such is the intensity of Bilbao's play.
    • 5' Xavi takes the ball down and tees-up Messi who fizzes in a low shot, but Iraizoz makes the save.
    • 4' A bright start from Bilbao who force three corners early on and they look in a real mood to topple the visitors.
    • 1' Bilbao get the game underway.
    • - Barcelona: Valdés; Alves, Chigrinski, Piqué, Maxwell; Xavi, Busquets, Keita; Pedro, Messi Iniesta.
    • - Athletic: Iraizoz; Iraola, Ustaritz, Amorebieta, Koikili; Gurpegui, Orbaiz, Javi Martínez; Susaeta, Llorente, Yeste.

  1. You madrid fans are mother fuxkers that have no life,­ trying to copy other peoples account and act like­ it's them. Well let me guess, it you getachew44,­ isn't it????? You could try to pretend like you­ are me but Barca fans will know the real me, because I­ love Barcelona no matter what, and I love it's­ players too. I love Ibra, and I would not trade him­ with any other striker in the world. I would love to­ see villa in Barcelona too, but I would never trade­ villa for Ibra, becuse I think Ibra is way better.­ Anyways go get a life madrid fans and quit copying my­ account and try to act like you are me, #89 is trying­ to be like me.
