Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at San Mames. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Pedri, a Spain , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Barcelona needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Athletic Club that had 332 games and scored 392 goals.
  • 26' The whistle greets Frenkie de Jong as he departs to be replaced by Fermin Lopez.
  • 31' The 33-year-old Mikel Vesga has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 32' FC Barcelona player sees a card in front of him.
  • 34' That is a card for FC Barcelona. Xavi Hernandez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Athletic Club is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 44' Marc-Andre ter Stegen is a natural goalkeeper and has been asked to do a very specific job for Athletic Club tonight.
  • 45' FC Barcelona manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lamine Yamal is hanging Pedri on the field on 45 minute.
  • 50' Athletic Club are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Barcelona backline.
  • 52' Dani Garcia has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 52.
  • 57' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Athletic Club and FC Barcelona are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 62' Andreas Christensen picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 63' The Athletic Club bench stirs into life. Mikel Vesga is withdrawn and Ruiz de Galarreta gets his opportunity.
  • 65' The referee shows Athletic Club player a card on 65.
  • 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Raphinha suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' FC Barcelona have won 783 goals from 517 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 76' The FC Barcelona manager makes a substitution. Andreas Christensen departs to be replaced by Oriol Romeu.
  • 80' Another substitution for Athletic Club to replace Benat Prados by De Marcos on 80 minute.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aitor Paredes Casamichana made 332 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' A moment of madness from Alex Berenguer on 86 minutes earns him a card. Athletic Club will be frustrated.
  • 88' Controversy at the stadium! Jules Kounde argues furiously but the card stands.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
