Following the madness of the UEFA Super Cup in Tbilisi, Barcelona returns home and gets ready to play the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao. And one player from the opponent is not exactly looking forward to the game.
Defender Mikel Balenziaga was assigned as an individual marker to stop Lionel Messi on last May's Copa del Rey Final between Barça and Los Leones at the Camp Nou. Just 20 minutes in, he was completely destroyed by the Argentine, and he was one of the Bilbao players left behind in one of Messi's signature career goals.
