FC Barcelona returned to third place in the Spanish championship thanks to their victory on the lawn of Athletic Bilbao (3-2), Thursday in a game late in the second day.

Led from the start on a goal from Iñaki Williams (3rd), the Catalans relied on the good form of the offensive quartet Pedri-Griezmann-Dembélé-Messi to win, with in particular a double from the Argentine captain (38th, 62nd), despite the reduction of the gap of Muniain at the end of the match (90th).
