Messi glow in the night dropping Bilbao
Argentine star Lionel Messi, with his double, led his team Barcelona to a deserved and important victory over Athletic Bilbao 3-2 yesterday in a postponed match between them from the second stage of the Spanish Football League.
The Catalan team raised its score to 31 points in third place, while Bilbao stopped at 21 points in ninth place.
Bilbao advanced in the third minute through Iñaki Williams, which disrupted the Barcelona people.
But soon the Dutch coach Ronald Koeman's team regained the reins and managed to equalize through the ascendant Pedri (14).
In the 38th minute, Messi scored the goal for the "Blaugrana" after a perfect back pass from Pedri.
In the second half, Barcelona tightened its control over the course of the game thanks to the brilliance of the duo Pedri-Messi, especially with the emergence of the return of the spirit to the Argentine, who was not at his level recently.
Messi scored the third goal for his team, thanks to a decisive pass by Frenchman Antoine Griezmann (62).
Despite the decline in Bilbao's performance, the team managed to return to the atmosphere of the match, and Iker Munian managed to score the second goal for his team in the last minute of the match.
