Oh dear Sergio Busquets. You can get away with lazy tackles in midfield, but you just cannot do that in your own area. With Abidal making a mess of things out wide, the Frenchman sold Busquets short with horrendous pass that set Fernando Llorente free in the Barca box. But in trying to retrieve the situation, Busquets lunged in on Llorentes ankle, getting absolutely nowhere near the ball. Lucky to still be on the pitch, only receiving a yellow for his troubles.
Barcelona Vs Athletic Bilbao: Iraola Draws Bilbao Level From The Spot
Now we are going to see exactly what this Barcelona side are made of. Worldbeaters when things are going well, let’s see how they respond to a bit of a crisis. Let’s not forget that a draw here would bring Real Madrid to within a win of their rivals. Three points in it and Barca still have to go to the Bernabeu. Interesting!
As yet, Athletic Bilbao are yet to bring on their young prodigy, Iker Muniain, but they have brought on Toquero in attack. A bald, battering ram more than capable of ruffling a few feathers in the Barca defence. 55 minutes gone and we’re all square.
