Another defeat would have thrown a real malaise in the Catalonia. Barcelona can say thank you to the Argentine prodigy. Lionel Messi has once again released his team from a beautiful bad pass Sunday at home against Athletic Bilbao (2-1).

Already beaten 1-0 in the first leg, the Catalans who still remember the 1-2 defeat against Real Madrid in King’s Cup struggling to regain their football. Without genius, both teams go to break on a scoreless draw. From the restart, Bilbao displays the same skills as the first half and scores by Aduriz. He seized a ball lost by Mascherano to shoot Pinto who was helpless.

Camp Nou is touched. Barca pushed for an equalizer and it happens with Pedro. Two minutes later, Messi scored his 26th goal of the season. Nothing will be scored until the end of 90 minutes.
