On Sunday, four matches of the 22nd round of the Spanish "Primera" championship were played. The most anticipated match of the day took place at the "San Mames" stadium, where Bilbao's "Athletic" team, supported by their fans, clashed with "Barcelona". In a high-scoring match, the Catalans defeated the Basques with a score of 2-5. Lionel Messi put "Barça" in front first, and Luis Suarez increased the lead in the 26th minute. However, the hosts reduced the deficit in the 59th minute, but soon after they were punished again. In the 62nd minute, "Athletic" defender Oscar de Marcos scored an own goal. Just two minutes later, the fourth goal was scored in the Basque goal, this time by Neymar after a great pass from L. Messi. But the goals kept coming - in the 66th minute, Aritz Aduriz beat Claudio Bravo in the Barcelona goal, but in the 75th minute, the Bilbao team were left with ten men when Xabier Etxeita received a red card. The final touch in this match was added by Pedro after coming on as a substitute. He scored the fifth goal for "Barcelona" in the 86th minute, courtesy of a successful pass from Sergio Busquets. After the victory, Luis Enrique's team earned three important points and closed in to within one point of the top spot occupied by Madrid's "Real" club. In the other matches, "Almeria" and "Valencia" defeated their opponents, while "Sevilla" surprisingly lost to Madrid's "Getafe" team.
