Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao, Spanish Super Cup Final: Final Score 2-3, Messi sees red as Barca crash to defeat

Ronald Koeman missed out on lifting his first trophy as Barcelona boss on Sunday and saw captain Lionel Messi sent off in a 3-2 defeat to Athletic after extra-time in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

Barca twice led the game, through goals from Antoine Griezmann, but saw the trophy slip away after Inaki Williams scored a brilliant goal in the 93rd minute to seal the victory.

FIRST HALF

Athletic had the better of a quiet first half and had the first clear chance when Marc-Andre ter Stegen was forced to tip over a shot from Capa from just inside the penalty area.
