Barcelona returned to winning ways in La Liga with a tense 1-0 victory over a tough Athletic Bilbao team at Camp Nou on Tuesday. The Blaugrana were awful for 55 minutes but improved a lot thanks to good substitutions by Quique Setién, and Ivan Rakitic scored the winner to claim three crucial points for the champions.
FIRST HALF
Barça made a solid start to the game, with a clear attempt to play a more direct, progressive passing style to try and create more chances, and Luis Suárez had two shots in the first 10 minutes.
