Barcelona has registered the next victory in La Liga to keep the point difference with Real Madrid at nine.
The team led by Xavi won with great difficulty tonight on the road against Athletic Bilbao, in the framework of the 25th week.
The match held at the “San Mames” stadium ended with the result 0:1.
Raphinha scored the only goal and three points for the Catalans, at the end of the first half.
The Basques created numerous chances in the second half, but Marc-Andre Ter Stegen denied them a goal on most occasions.
The locals managed to score in the 87th minute through Inaki Williams, but his goal was canceled after a VAR review because Iker Muniain played with his hand in this action.
After this victory, Barcelona has 65 points at the top of the table, nine more than Real Madrid. We remind you that “El Clasico” will take place next week, at “Camp Nou”.
Bilbao is in ninth position with 33 points.
