Bilbao vs Barcelona on now. Interesting from Barcelona to come out with no Busquets or Rakitic in the starting XI. Went with the young new man De Jong Alena and Roberto.

Bilbao player decent 1st half! They have caught Barça at a good time with no messi and now Suarez gone off injured. Plus, yeah was strange that Busquets never started to be honest. He’s like the focal point for them!
Madre mia Aduriz!

Stunning strike from Aduriz! Great moment for the veteran forward, his last season at club too! Barça were sluggish and missed messi big time. Plus Suarez going off was a big blow to them too! Well makes la Liga more competitive anyway, which is what we all want!

What a freaking strike from the 38 year old! Barca was lost the whole game without the magic man Messi.

I agree, Barça looked unorganized. Only Rafinha played well once he came on, but that midfield was a mess.
But what a goal to open up this La Liga season! Title up for grabs now.

Great strike from Aduriz. A deserved win for Athletic and a good result for La Liga. What a player Williams is! Barca struggled without Messi and then even more so when Suarez went off injured. A strange choice not to start either Busquets or Rakitic.
Athletic will be a tough game for anyone at home where they’re so strong. Similar to how we are at home usually. Was nice to catch the game on ITV 4 also.

That’s true. Not going to happen but I’d love him back at Sevilla.
Dabbur out for technical decision, Banega for yellows carried over from last season.
Looks like we’ll have to be content with De Jong for at least 60 minutes. I want to see some football thru the middle tomorrow.

I was gonna single this ref out for being pro-Real Madrid. But gives a questionable red card to Modrić after VAR review. Shoulda been yellow. But, it’s La Liga. Toni Kroos then scores a screamer from about 25 yards.
Happy La Liga indeed. It’s like Christmas.

Will be a good win for Real Madrid! Celta away is never easy!
Celta’s had their chances, but just can’t finish. That offsides at half time was questionable imo.

What happened? It took me a bit to find the game on.
NM, pretty stupid foul at the top of the box.
So glad the drama stayed in the other games.
Chimy Avila with another golazo to get Osasuna the win… Villarreal 4-4 Granada… Oyarzabal scoring a 100th minute penalty to draw 1-1 away to Valencia — after they missed both an open net & a penalty that could have killed off the game.
And what’s that? A shambles at the VillamarĂn already?
