FC Barcelona v Athletic Bilbao, La Liga 2016-17 - A scratchy Barcelona overcome an inspiring Athletic Bilbao


If the team was not Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona would have lost a point last night. They kept the Catalans on their toes most of the times as they pressed high up the pitch and at times, went on to score. But sadly they were either denied by the Braca defenders or the lack of quality finishers. Even they were denied by the referee for a late penalty appeal after Iker Munian went down inside the box at the end of regulation time under slight contact from Rakitic. Famous football commentator Ray Hudson said, “It was a clear penalty”, but the referee was blind. Ivan Rakitic saved the day for Barcelona with a 21-minute header.
